This is resin with glass bead mixed in. Started with the same sword handle as those hollywood guys. This still needs to be cleaned up. I have a blade for it...but not the guard parts. Still need to track those down.

Wow! Those pictures are fantastic! I can definitely see that those are closer to the screen versions.
I created this one from a handle that was sawed off at the guard and given to me to make a new cast. It looks like mine is missing about 3/4" of the original handle...I never noticed.
The pictures I used must have come from the H2 version. I took artistic license to make the scales 3D'ish...each one carved separately to look like real scales.... but definitely different than the scale markings on the screen version.
You guys have definitely nailed the authenticity! Great job!

the mentor was commissioned by thomas mulack of Germany after he went and took hi-def pics of the actual sword, this is as close as you can get without getting the real one. the tsuba is solid brass, the blade is a through hardned light cutter
the H2 i cast from teh original mold, i cast it, cleaned it, weathered it and mounted it on a through hardned blade, the tsuba is solid bronze...
the H3 is the Jose debraga sword made for albion by debraga, after albion lost the contract Debraga re-gained his rights and allows myself and one other group to make them. the tsuba (hand guard) is solid brass adn the fuchi (ring at the base of the handle) i hand made from a block of scrap brass. the blade on that one is a tri steel clay baked blade...
but yours is great,
I want to see your personal project come to fruition so if you need i can send u a full size headless handle to use, also ill send you a full size tsuba to finish your handle. IM me and ill get your info...
oh and heres Debraga's H1 remake, and it also looks like yours lol... he made this for Albion but that went the same way the H3 went...

Super cool!
Yes, the pics I was sent must have come from the H3 done for Albion.
