I have a question about the wording from the gun peacebonding rules.

"Items which are too large to be holstered may be dealt with in another way." What does this entail?

Your bow looks good. Do you have arrows to go with it?

Thanks.

Yes, my arrows are also made from wooden rods with rubber pencil eraser and foam sheet for the tip. :o

Depends on how large of a prop we're talking about. Did you have a specific prop in mind??

It would be better to make it out of cardboard and duct tape.

Your arrows sound OK, too.

Aella, um... My prop gun that I would be bringing is a hand gun prop that is fifteen inches long. Here is a few links with photos of it. http://dark-lord-of-sith.deviantart.com/art/hellsing-Jackal-prop-cast-3-164153873   http://dark-lord-of-sith.deviantart.com/art/Hellsing-Jackal-prop-cast-2-164153735   http://dark-lord-of-sith.deviantart.com/art/Hellsing-Jackal-prop-cast-1-164153603   ... I would be using a simple sword holster for it if you need it in a holster. Also if you want to see photos of it in the holster so you have an idea of what that would look like I will gladly do that. All I really have to do to the gun is the paint job. It will be all black with an orange tip. Just tell me how long the tip needs to be so I can paint it the right size.

You want PVC pipe for your scythe. It's light, just as sturdy as metal, and much more likely to get accepted by the rovers as it's just plastic. ^^ Plus you can cut it with a hacksaw to exactly the size you need, and you can drill into it if you need to. Look in the plumbing section of the hardware store.

Um in the rules it says 8'. "Items larger than 8 feet long (in its longest dimension) are prohibited." That can be found in the last line of "Prohibited Weapons & Props" on the "Fanime 2010 Peace-Bonding, Props & Weapons Policy"...

I have no clue on how strict they will be on this rule so good luck with it.
