Chronicles of Riddick Blades...

[tmax]

Finally got around to these...

Metal blades with accurate exacto grips. Blades needed modding for the grips...

Blades were epoxied into the grips, then the grips were riveted shut...

Time to fill the holes and gaps...

Primer...

The blades are silver so we polished off the black...

And painted the grips...

Found a shadow box and printed some images for the final display...

Bit hard to photograph with the glass reflections, but you get the idea. This display is going to my brother-in-law Max, who did numerous stunts for the film, including stunt-doubling Lord Marshall.

Man that's cool. Probably a stupid question and maybe everybody knows except me but, whats the source of the blades?

I bought these off a fellow RPF member who had the blades and grips already. But pretty sure he just got the blades off eBay. Super easy to find, there’s heaps of people selling them. You’ll see them with fake leather “wraps” around the handles.

Not sure how hard the Exacto grips are to find but again, I’d try ebay.

Very nice! I've had my parts in a box forever it seems. This might be just the motivation I need to get to work.
