TOMB RAIDER UNDERWORLD - THOR'S HAMMER
This is a basic tutorial on how to make a replica of Mj?lnir, aka Thor's
hammer. It is a rough replica, which means its not 100% accurate but it will do
for me: (It is fairly sturdy but dont go hitting people with it :P)
Reference Pictures: Click to enlarge
Finished product:
- Any 1 household grocery box (dimentions: length 5.5" x width 7.5"x depth 2" inches) i chose
a modified old elpaso box lol
- 1 Tin foil card board roll
- 2 Toilet paper card board rolls
- Scotch tape
- News paper or phone book pages
- Scissors

1- Ok you need to start by stuffing the box that is the hammer with shredded news
papers or phonebook pages to give it some weight:![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3097.jpg)
2- Cut a plus sign (+) 1.5 inch in diameter, in the middle of the box and lift up the flaps like so:

3- Slide the Tin foil roll inside the box, make sure to get the flaps out so
you can later secure them to it

4- Secure the flaps with tape around the tin foil roll like so:

5- Grab the toilet paper rolls and cut 1/2 inch around it so you end up with this:

6- and then slide the first small pipe up the big pipe, and secure all the little
flaps with tape like so:

7- Fold News papers or phonebook pages , just thick enough to go inside the small roll
and outsite the bigger roll , like so:

Push down on it till its snug iin there,

8- Now secure it like this:

9- Then do the same thing for the bottom of the handle, with papers securing the
smaller roll too:

10- Now for the tip, i just stuffed papers in there and then made a pyramid shape
when almost full, I secured it with strong tape like this:
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3113.jpg)
11- Then made a smaller box , about (5 inches in width, 2 in length and 1/2 inch in
depth) to put on top of the hammer like this:

12- So now you have the basic shape for the hammer! and you're almost done!!!

So now comes the messy part:
I bought Silver and black paint, small bottles, costing less than 3 dollars all
together
13- Paint it completely black

14- Mix a little silver paint with black and paint it again after its dry
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3222.jpg)
15- Time to paint the handle, bottom and top part must be lighter than the
middle, so use your silver/metallic paint
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3223.jpg)
16- Cut a piece of cardboard in this shape
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3226.jpg)
Symmetry is achieved if you fold it in half and cut this shape out
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3225.jpg)
Then paint it Silver
![](http://laracroftcosplay.com/images/tombraidercosplay/DSCN3227.jpg)
And glue it in place : like so
then finish painting the top part and you're DONE! :)

Now using this image, i extracted patterns to print and glue onto the hammer:
