1. that an "internal chamber" could only keep a certain very small amount of dry-ice, making it a very short lived effect. The wapon has to look good after all and be fairly slim to have a realistic look, a chamber crafted into it would make it very bulky.
2. Dry Ice is pretty dangerous stuff when not handled properly. Ever "burned" your fingers on it?
3. You´d need a mechanism to open and seal the "chamber", wich would make some kind of hinges nessesary, wich in turn would look very odd on a wapon.
4. you´d have to carry a case of the stuff around to refill the camber, to keep the effect going....
*sigh*
We´ll see

Weapons are boys dept.....I'll make allthe other stuff!

Actually I think fiberglass might be quite fitting, considering resin and fibers...

Well, over here in Europe we use either Aluminium for Full-Body armor like
this or leather, like
here.
For wapons we usualy employ foam plastic with fiberglass rods on the inside.
Like shown
here.
Those are pieces done by real professionals and are sold on pretty much any good convetion. The swords are usually painted or paintbrushed for good looks
My friends and I are doing this as a smalltime hobby and we´re in for the uniqueness of our works. I´ll see if I can get some pics of them from the guys
And I´ll bugger them ´till they agree to help me with my Matis 2 H.

As for the materials...it is possible to make everything, including the AEN armour quite easily. Like I said I'm going to experiment but I am pretty sure it'd all be possible. Have faith
hmm sap?
picks would be cool

I agree, some of the other armour would be quite easy to build. Aen and some Tryker.
Edit: Thats actually an idea im now pondering... making some Aen.... unfortunately, not till im done with another project in a few months.
