He man's Power Sword 80s style

[timelordd]

I have been working on this for a while now, its time to finish it up so I can take it to magacon.

I watch this thread while playing the He-man in my head.

I love this build

 

[Wanted]

Very Cool, can't wait to see more progress!

 

[Darkstar]

this is giving me some awesome flash backs, can't wait to see more.

 

[Draphin]

Great job!
I too have ben thinking of this project but the furthest I have gotten was modeling the sword in Google Sketch up.

Here is what I came up with.

My idea (since I am such a horrible sculptor) is to get it 3D printed somewhere then use that to make some molds to have it cast in aluminum. I also modeled an alternate Face for the She-Ra version. when printed I will take out the Gem as this will be Sculpted (probably not by me) out of a clear colored Acrylic and then set.

Draphin...pm sent!

These are my Grail. These swords are half the reason I joined the rpf. I gave been waiting to buy them since I was 4 years old. Someone make them and take my money!

 

[cayman shen]

Eff. Yeah.

 

[Stencil]

Sweet. Can't wait to see the finished product.

There two versions of this sword, one with round spheres on the edges and the flat surface mostly seen in the cartoon. I decided to meet both designs half way so is what Im leaning towards. By the way how do I post pics so they don't show as thumbnails?

 

[Draphin]

By the way how do I post pics so they don't show as thumbnails?

When I post a picture useing the "insert image" link. I have to put in a URL so I actually upload my Photos through Goggle Docs/Image. Then I make sure it can be viewed by anyone and publish it to the web which generates a URL for me. Next its Copy + Paste then whala I have one Med/Lrg image in my post. I guess the real reason may be I am only loading 1 image or it is because I am using a source other than my computer for the image. In all honesty I have no Idea. All I know is how I post pics here and it seems to load without Thumbs. Hope this Helps!

I haaaaave the power!

 

[BenStreeper]

looks good, I'm very interested to see how this turns out

 

[timelordd]

Well here it is with the dome discs...four more to go. Can't wait to finish all three swords I'm thinking of doing.

 

[The Observer]

looking forward to seeing more of this...I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!

 

[timelordd]

Just wanted to give you guys an idea on how its going to look after its done. Just realized that the handle is too long!

 

[TotalusK]

Great looking sword, hope it turns alright for you. Just thought I'd mention that She-ra also had a similiar sword, the only difference was the jewel encrusted in the sword itself... any plans of making She-ra's? I noticed you made the 3D mockup through google, so thought I'd ask.

Also for the inner nerd inside me, the two swords are the Sword of Power and the Sword of Protection.

[EDIT] Looked back over the thread and realised you typed more, I thought it was merely your signature, ooops... ignore my question.

 

[jschlosser]

coming along nicely!

 

[tullfan81]

I really want to give you my money...

 

[Ruddigger]

I'm right there with ya.

"I noticed you made the 3D mockup through google, so thought I'd ask."

@TotalusK I did not do the 3D mockup I believe that is Draphin's mockup. As for the sword of protection, yes I will be doing that one also and the Toy version too.
