	Since the foam I bought was rectangular, I ended up having to split each chakram in half and then attaching it. When you sand foam, the stuff gets everywhere. A month of permanent squishy snow littered my floor no matter how much I vacuumed.
	I made it out of foam cause I wanted the angles of the chakrams, since they aren't flat - otherwise I would’ve used luan plywood. So not too hard.
	I carved the chakram out, sanded in the angles, glued and fastened the pieces together (with paperclips), covered it in gesso, and painted.
	Too bad they were too big and awkward to take on the plane. Oh yeah, if you’re going to fly to a con, plan your weapons with transportation and luggage constraints in mind!
