Coronet, horns and sword

Here are pictures of the coronet at present from the front and the side, and the painted horns (which still aren't finished either).
Sadly the paint on the front of the coronet keeps cracking, but I am working on that continually.
1.) Coronet (front)
2.) Coronet (side)
3.) Painted horns

Rose's sword has also been started.
Here is the cardboard template, and here is the sword itself ready for shaping etc...

Horns and Coronet

I made the coronet, and although it's a bit on the tight side, it's still wearable (albeit I might get a headache, but never mind). It's almost ready to be painted.

I've also made the horns to the point were they are ready to be painted. In-fact, the first coat is already on them. Here are the pictures of the progress with them.

1.) Horns - stage 1
2.) Horns - stage 2
3.) Horns - stage 3

Headband Horn Pieces + tunic preparations

Rose has two horn-like pieces on the headband that she wears.
Currently, I am creating them out of: 2 polystyrene balls, 2 polystyrene egg shapes, and papermache. Once they're done I'll try and make the coronet they will mount on.

I have the fabric for the tunic, but though it's meant to be midnight blue it looks a little washed out, so I'll make the tunic (if I can find a pattern!) and then dye it darker.
