Roy (Fire Emblem Awakening style) - part 1

The armor for the Demon Hunter is coming along nicely and the sculpting is also going great. So, in the meantime I'm building a sword ^^ It's made of 3 layers of plastazote (soft foam for LARP weapons that I got from Games'n'Stuff) and hard EVA foam from Proptimum (the orange one). This time I'm trying to keep it all foam and nothing else... except for some beads and a tassel :P
It will be part of the build for next year ^^

Some people may know this, but I'm trying to make Roy from Fire Emblem (Awakening style). Why? Because he's awesome ^^ The shoulder strap also got more filigree.

Razor Sword - part 3

Here are the dimensions I use for my Razor Sword ^^
Feel free to use it.

Razor Sword - part 2

I am making now a new Razor Sword because the plasticard core of the old one broke... -.- It became as flexible as a cooked noodle XD I hope that the new wooden core will be stronger.

Here with the old one.

I will make a pattern with the measurements on it for this blade ^^

Caladbolg - Finished

And after 17 layers of latex paint it's finished ^^

 It's just as big as my Master Sword ^^

Caladbolg - part 5

 Now the painting begins....

 First step: a base coat of black Plastidip

Then the latex...
Around 5 layers of colourless latex, 2 layers of brown/gold, 2 layers of gold and 1 layer of gold/silver latex...

It now looks like this, but it's not finished yet :)

Caladbolg - part 4

And some more progress ^^
Something went wrong with the worbla, so now I'm using epoxy clay to bring back the shapes of the guard.

I also tried to cast the gems, but it looked so bad, I didn't even took a picture of it :P

Caladbolg - part 3

And now with more work on the guard ^^
I tried to make it in a wing-like style.

 Here is where the stones will be placed when the casting will work...

Caladbolg - part 2

More shaping and I gave the blade his edge.

 Here you see the little detail where the 2 smaller stones will be placed.
A large stone will be placed om the oval shaped piece on the guard.

Caladbolg - part 1

It's not much, only the basic form and my feet ^^

The materials I used are Plastizote LD33, fiberglass core and a small piece of cloth at the tip to reinforce it.

I made this template in PhotoShop, I will try to make this as close as possible.

Razor Sword - part 1

For the Razor Sword I made a core-piece from plasticard and glue 2 sheets of plastizote LD33 on it. I use BisonTix to glue the foam on each other, because this will keep the foam flexible and Larp-able.

 After gluing I cut the foam in it's shape.

 The handel is made from EVA-foam.

As you can see, it still needs a lot of work, but I have the initial shape ^^
