I'm currently making a Claymore for my Clare cosplay. I've made the blade out of Cardboard and paper mache but my problem is the hilt. I have a dol as the handle but the guard is my problem. I don't have enough experiance with wood to carve it so I need a different material to make this out of. I also tried foam but it wasn't duriable and broke easily. Any help is apreciated.

I shall for this, too, give my standard answer.

Paper clay. Affordable; air dries, so it's easy to work with; sandable; paintable; readily available at most craft stores, so no need to special order off a website; lightweight, so carrying it around all day won't suck.
