Aeglos has been on my "to do list" for several years now, so I finally decided to make it!
I began by making the basic shape of the blade and the spear shaft in AutoCAD.
Then the pieces were loaded into Blender so I could add all the vine detail on the blade.
When the files were printed, I used a hand sander to smooth the print lines.
And a smoothing tip on a dremel can help get into all the small areas.
Everything was sprayed with 2-in-1 filler/primer, and then smoothed after every layer.
The blade was based with a metallic silver, and then gold enamel was painted onto the vines.
The shaft is based with in raw umber, and burnt sienna was dry brushed to create a woodgrain.
Then a black wash was used to age the wood and "tone down" the color of the woodgrain.
If you would like to see the complete building process, check out the build video, a link to the files is in the video's description:
