Shards of Narsil

[PHArchivist]

"It's still sharp...!"

I made this yesterday, cut from an Anduril generic. Getting the line of the break was difficult, and I didn't quite nail it. Those who know this prop well will spot the inaccuracy. but the source swoard was a pretty high quaity,a nd the end result is quite satisfying. I like it, and it's lethal!

(From thread in OT)

Nicely done, don't cut yourself :lol

Why'd you use Anduril instead of Narsil though? Was a generic Anduril just handier?

The seller I got it from offered outstanding service and great quality, but did not offer the Narsil...

Looks good! Hehe I pull my Narsil pommel off of the plaque all of the time... even though it's just the shattered hilt it still feels nice in-hand.

Very nice, indeed! Fun to play with...

Well, you finally did it!!!!!Looks good to me. You can hardly notice it's a Anduril!

Hoping you'd catch this, Ken! What do you think about my cut line? I also have some Dremel scratches I'd like to get out. Suggestions?

 

[Smiling Demon]

Cut lines look pretty good. :thumbsup
On the Dremel lines I would use some high grit sandpaper and polish it up with Neverdull. It is a polishing substance like cotton but it will buff out to a high shine. I use it to polish all of my aluminum hardware sabers!
Give it a try. You should be able to get Neverdull at Walmart in the automotive section!!

Where's the rest of the broken sword blade? Are those coming later for a complete display like in the House of Elrond?

 

[TazVader]

has any one else done a cutting template yet? I just won my sword on EBay.

I seem to remember some great screenshots of a top down at one here somewhere. If any one has them please post em. I'll work out a template somehow and post it for us all to use.

PH...I love what you did. We are all perfectionists with our own work but I'd be proud to hang it LOL I thought I would cover a long bit of MDF in the same sort of bluey material on the statue stand in the movie, frame it with beading and affix all the shards to it bar the grip. I'll use hooks there for playing with it. Get a lasercut label then Bob's your uncle. Any display ideas guys?

Laying on the floor of my shop! :lol After the hard work and health hazard of cutting the hilt, I lost my motivation to do the rest... Some day perhaps!

Taz, I just printed off a pic of one of the licensed versions and went from there. I tried to get the measurements correct. But template or not, the biggest challenge was acheiving precision custs with the Dremel cutting wheels. Not easy, and I did not suceed perfectly.

 

[Gigatron]

Good job, Rob :thumbsup. How many cut-off wheels did that take? Did you use the reinforced or regualr?

here's the one I made a year or two ago:

 

[Hitogiri]

Nice work Hecubus!

 

[TazVader]

Yes indeed! Thanks fo rthe tip on what to print mate

I think I might scribe the correct line in to a couple of mill by hand so I get a straight cutting guide for the dremel

[Terminator Crazy]

I might do this to a UC Narsil now when they are so cheap...Could you make the pics work again? How did you display it?

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

I can see Hecubus' Shards thumbsup

..But, just Red "X" in your post.

 

[PHArchivist]

I'll try to repost the pics later...

 

[N2darkness]

Would definitely love to see some! I'm interested in trying this myself.

 

[PHArchivist]

Here we go...

 

[Bilbo Baggins]
