Elder Sword Just Finished

[Lowdmekon]

Hi All, let me know what you think. MDF, plastic main body, leather and some old chicken bones, it's about two an a half foot long. Winging its way over to Jedi2010. Hope you enjoy buddy.

Nice work.  Perfect amount of weathering.  Looks legit. 

 

[Chasing Coyote]

yep looks preety sweet good work

 

[XxPRA3T0RIANxX]

Looks awesome, dude. I was thinking about making a bone sword similar to this for a tribal build. Did you make a mold for the blade or cut on some pre-existing plastic?

^^^ nice hijack...

As far as the sword, it looks great sir.  Well done!!!

Cheers all its made from MDF, a plastic main handle bone, some old leather from a sofa I skinned and some spare bones I've accumulated. That and a lot of weathering washes and that.

I'm gonna try another one in thicker Sintra or maybe even acrylic.

THAT's a knife.

 

[Lowdmekon]

I did not want to detract from your work.
But i am very proud of mine.
I have used only genuine materials.
Tanned cowhide. Bone from ... and 1080 tool steel. And a very expensive fine grinding work...   

Maybe start your own thread then.............

Thx Brian! ;-)

Just to clarify, I was referring to the OP's sword, not yours.  Starting your own topic would be the right thing to do.  I understand you're proud of it, but posting a "ooh look, mine's made of real materials" in someone else s thread is the same as saying "mines better than yours", and that's just plain wrong.  Also, in my opinion the OP's looks better anyway.

Very nice work, looks pretty well aged,  totally natural look to it.

"I have used only genuine materials."
How do you know what the elders sword was made out of??  Hmm? LOL.

Lowdmekon. Thats a very nice sword dude. As you know I am a personal friend of the elder. His real name is Stan by the way (thats a rough translation). And he tells me that yours is identical to his. Cudos.

Cheers Buddy. You'll be able to see it in person as it's for one of our UK Preds.

That did make me chucke fella. I'm pretty sure the next sword will be even better and worthy of offering humbly to a clan elder.

Darn nice work friend. I hope I speak for others when I say we all like seeing the stages of the build. Those "behind the scenes" photos
are the best as for as I'm concerned. Again nice job.

Here Buddy some pics of when I cut and shaped the MDF and give it's first of many coats of paint. And some with a mock up handle using some cream fabric. That's all have unfortunately. I'll try and take some of the next sword I do.

Anyone can take a piece of steel and cut out a blade.  It takes a true artist and craftsman to take a chunk of wood and turn it into something that looks as good as this.  You did a fantastic job!
