OMG USE A HALF BALL LARGE CHRISTMAS ORDAMENT
seriously best time of year for that there are large ones already in halves to make it easyer to deco rate
Honestly, that would be a bit fragile. Those aren't that thick, whereas acrylic isn't gonna shatter on you..Still a good idea though..Plus it won't be transparent like it's suppose to..
Also, Tranny, on the topic of that. if you want, you can get a light for the inside of it..Go to a hardware store and tell them what you are doing and they can help you get one that will work. You want ont that takes those small flat batteries, and has a turnable switch (I have them in my FFVII Materia) then you can make it hollow and put the light in it and turn it on for pictures. It will be able to be seen through the top. Just a thought. I can give you a rough tutorial over PM if you want..
On to my update. I have just asked on coscom about making a Sailor V cosplay looking for help, so I will for sure be making it now.
