UPDATE 5---------------------------------
First of all I'm sorry if some images are blurry, the camera we have sucks.
Well, I guess I'll start with the newest pic of the pyramid. I'm going to start painting as soon as tomorrow, if I can get the paint:

I'm going for all black as a base color, giving it an iron look, and using the "coffee ground" method, I'm texturing it like rust. Later, the other colors will get painted on too.
Here's the great knife, after a bit MORE reinforcement with the strongest material known to man: Duct Tape.


It killed the edge near the end of the knife, but I think I can work around that (Perhaps some really nasty rust stains down there?)
I had realized today that you guys have yet to see my risers:

Old Shoes, Duct Tape, Tin cans, and Hot Glue
Of course, I'm not LEAVING them that way:

The tops of the shoes will be completley covered up with the costume fully on.
I've been walking around the house with those shoes on all day to get used to walking in them. I'm pretty good at it now

.
Oh, and for those wondering, Here's what I have left to do:
1. Paint the Pyramid and Great Knife
2. Stain the Apron-thing and shoes with fake blood, etc. I have a good method of making fake blood that looks rather realistic.
3. Body makeup, to make my body fit in with everything else better, this will include adjusting my skintone, adding cuts/scars, etc.
After all that, I should be done. I know what I said before, but, thinking more realistically, I expect to be 100 percent finished by mid-February, at the absolute latest.
