Snake Eyes - Movie Version - WIP

[fanboy]

i've got the sword painted. i'm dragging my feet getting the guard cut out and finishing it. it's really not that great, just something to have when i'm out on halloween. i'm still on the fence about ordering a replica one.

the visor is great, i can see out of it very well. i did a test fit and it fits perfect! i have to re-glue the attachment pieces though. one of them wasn't holding entirely.

A wooden sword will have problems Because of the grooves and imperfections. If you have a good shape, you may want to try adding some chrome paint to give it a nice shine. I recommend a replica sword if you are willing to spend it.

Good job so far.

No way, I've made tons of wooden knives and swords, you can smooth out any imperfection, and if theres knots in it you can put a dab of bondo on it.
Fanboy, what about sculpey for the hand guard?

That's true, but you get the nice "ping" sound when you flick it. :love

thanks for the comments and info everyone! and thanks for posting the knife links darius. i've really been slacking on this lately. i need to get back into working on this. i'm also working on a lady jaye costume for my wife and building a bazooka for a friend.

thought i'd give this a quick update since it's been a while. i ended up ordering the replica sword. i'm still going to try to use my custom made wood one for at the bar if i can get it in the sheath. so, i'm pretty much finished with this. i'll get some pics up once my sword arrives.

now, onto finishing my wife's lady jaye costume!
