Junkenstein: Tire Sketch and Notes

Some sketches for what I'm planning on doing with the Rip Tire for the Junkenstein cosplay I'm doing. Because I have had no luck in finding any information on a tire prop, I'm deciding to do my own thing and start from scratch.



I'm wanting the tire to be removable, like in the game, and not have to stick to straps the entire time. I'm also converting the tire to a backpack of sorts (with an opening on the side where it faces my back when worn), and I'm also looking on doing something that wont break easily and light weight. Because of this, my first guess is to start with some wood and styrofoam for the base; craft foam, tape, and paint for the details; and to use a metallic spray to give it the metallic look to it (seeing how the Junkenstein Rip Tire isn't a tire per say).
