Hello all,
I dunno if anyone here's ever done any searching for a Master Sword replica, but there ain't much out there in available quantities. There's an awfully inaccurate version which, while the hilt is the right color, appears to be made out of plastic and or PVC on the hilt. Alternatively, here's a beautiful replica, but the hilt is the wrong color. See pictures below: (nicked from various sites, none of these are mine)
So I got a hold of the silver hilted one, and I'd like to get it closer to game-accurate. Here's a grab from ingame:
So here's my question.
How do I get the one I purchased to match this one? I understand the hilt itself is steel, and I can powdercoat it - or rather, have it powdercoated - but someone quoted me like $200 on it. Not worth it on a sixty dollar sword. I would like to mask it and paint as necessary, as it's on a budget, but I don't know how appropriate that is.
Anyone have any other suggestions about how to get this recolored for less than, say, $45? Paint, I can do, but if there are other suggestions, I'd appreciate any help you folks might have. You know metal better than I, surely.
Thanks in advance. Any suggestions are welcomed.
