Some cosplayers made a very excellent replica for this prop out of acrylic or plastics or something that had to do with laser cutting. And of course he sells them for about $200 a prop. DEFINITELY WORTH IT if you want to drop the cash and go for high quality. Simply google omni-tool prop and you'll find it pretty easily. But I want to do it MYSELF even though I'm a terrible prop maker...worse than costumes. So I'm going to make a low cost omni-tool and share how YOU can make it too!  Here are the materials I plan on using.  Tools Heat Gun/Blow Dryer Scissors Exacto Knife Box Cutters Glue Gun/Clear glue Masking Tape Scotch Tape Printing Paper Invisible Mounting wire References Supplies Two 2-liter Clear Soda bottle smooth sides Orange, smooth transparent folders/binder dividers Clear Snaps (optional) Orange Sharpie (optional) Orange Enamel paint (optional) Testors Window Tint Spray paint (optional) Orange Vinyl Headlight tints (optional) Here...

Ha so it's been awhile since I posted progress. And progress had been made! First I'd like to show off my Grey Warden costume that I "debuted" at PAX South. Some of it broke off before I got this picture taken. :P Grey Warden...missing elbow armor. Tali's cosplay has been retired early as I rethink the design. The helmet is the only part that really came out nicely. Well...the metal arm stuff was pretty good too...and pants. Okay but my issue is that it had too many moving parts to put on by myself. I'm rethinking some of my take on the costume design. Like I probably will sew the bandeau onto the shirt directly and make the neck thingy out of fabric instead of foam. I still have plenty of leftover fabric so I can do it. And I'm still unemployed. :P Much sadness. I have the fabric for the Inquisitor but little motivation to work on it. Currently, I have some very serious things to think about for my life in terms of work. We'll see how things ...
