Process photos and mini explanation under the cut!
This was supposed to be for my bf cosplay but I guess I will do a genderbend now :)))
This took 2 weeks evenings but it's the most fun I've ever had with a prop and it makes me so proud. The design is mostly from TLoVM but I took some liberties with details and names.
The barrel is a bunch of sticks glued together with foam inserts for details and the curved grooves; I carved the grip from a chunk of wood with a cutter yes that took ages yes I risked my fingers I KNOW; details are in foam and plywood.
Kinda based on my headcanon that when Park was sent back to work after Zone Z he was told to keep his injuries as discreet as possible, expecially the eye, so he was provided with those medical white patches or glasses like this super lovely art. But instead he very deliberately shows up with a good old fashioned big black leather eyepatch because 1. Fuck the IGR 2. That's so much more badass 3. His entire wardrobe is black so at least it matches.
