So I present you the Multi Action Dust Rapier Myrtenaster.
For those who don't know this is the weapon of Weiss Shnee in the up and coming series RWBY being produced by Monty Oum and his people over at Roosterteeth.
The base of the sword as well as the two cross guards are cut out of standard MDF board using a jigsaw; the blade was sharpened using a belt sander and imperfections fixed using basic files.
The revolver cylinder and parts in the centre, were also cut out of MDF, with the aid of a hole saw drill bit. Sandwiching these disks together made up most of the shape of the cylinder then for the dome part; a clay base was sculpted then covered with Bondo and sanded.
The handle was wrapped with a tennis racket grip that had been spray painted silver and the pommel sculpted out of plumbers epoxy.
Everything was assembled and glued with epoxy adhesive followed by two base coats of grey automotive primer and one coat of chrome spray paint. Detailing was done with several sheets of 250 grit sandpaper followed by acrylic paint for each of the six bullet chambers.
For the designs on the cross guards stencils were traced onto the sword using carbon tracing paper and then inked using a ink brush tipped Sharpie.
Thanks for Reading.
