LOTS AND LOTS OF LINEN. The trim for the general's robe was made by painstakingly tacking ribbon down onto green satin by hand in that obnoxious criss-cross pattern. The waist armour is made out of textured fun foam glued onto drop cloth. Last but not least the sword is carved out of wood. Additional pieces were carved to make the hilt and glued onto the bled and any gaps and small details were filled with model magic.
