Sword 7 (Posted 20th March 2013)

Weathering, followed by acrylic varnish, and it's done.

This beast is quite weighty and definitely not con safe!

Sword 6 (Posted 18th March 2013)

A basic paint job using acrylics. Now the dirt/weathering is being airbrushed on.

I think I like it better when it was just solid, flat black. XD;

Sword 5 (Posted 18th March 2013)

Assembly. The black is just gesso.

Sword 4 (Posted 18th March 2013)

Made the crest of the sword using clay. Then casted 2 copies out of resin.

Sword 3 (Posted 18th March 2013)

More sword progress. This part is made of worbla and foam.

Sword 2 (Posted 12th February 2013)

Every sword needs pork pies for ears.

Trinklets 1 (Posted 31st January 2013)

That dangly ball thing. This was "CAT'S EYE LIKE CRYSTAL SPHERE BALL 40MM" from eBay and cost me all of 6USD, from China. It even arrived with its own little wooden stand, it's so cute! Might buy all the other colours and line them up in front of the telly...

It's now surrounded by polymorph and a bracer buckle for the "belt" to thread through.

Hip pouches (Posted 31st January 2013)

Made of fake leather. There's a hoop on the back for the belt to go through. Just started shading them, the one on the left is done, hopefully it's made a difference.

Sword 1 (Posted 30th January 2013)

So far, left to right:

1. Paper template
2. Base built using mounting board, foam board, foam and wood
3. APPLY EXPANDING FOAM \o/
4. Carve expanding foam. Turns out my foam application technique needs refining, because there are lots of gaps
5. Apply papier mache, then sand
6. Apply gesso (the black stuff). Now waiting for it to dry, and then sand again

Bracer 1 (Posted 30th January 2013)

Made entirely out of worbla. It's painted now but I haven't taken a photo. Still needs a bit of black leather at the back where it laces up.
