Swords from anime "X"

[WarpedScale]

Do you have this book that you might scan a few pics? I had a devil of a time finding reference for it. I literally went through every episode and the movie, making screen caps. It's not too late to tweak the details.

Oops sorry I haven't been around. I believe I still have this book. I just gotta find it and I'll shoot you some scans.

That is some amazing work, BlindSquirrel. The person is going to be stoked when they receive it!

I just finished the WIP write-up on the blog.

Here's a few pics of the swords at the SakuraCon in Seattle. I hear they were a big hit!

Now I know why you put all that effort into that sword!:lol

Seriously... Great work!

Absolutely incredible.

She is awesome....emm, i mean, that sword is awesome.

Seriously, Your work always amazes me Blind Squirrel. I've read pretty much everything on your blog, and with each new page, my jaw drops a little further.

This is an amazing replica of the Anime X sword, keep up the excellent work sir, well done.

Following the awesome success of your Boromir Shield, Any new LOTR stuff in the pipeline?

 

[BlindSquirrel]

Thanks for kind words everyone. After such a long slog of a build, your compliments are MUCH appreciated!

Oh yes....I have decided to make LOTR items a priority on the build list, starting with finishing my Sauron helmet...

Then piece by piece I will remake the entire suit of armour!!

I also have plans for other weapons, shields and helmets drawn out, just waiting their turn.

That is awesome man. I'm still having problems locating that book, but I'll find it. Regardless, your's look tops. Good job!

Just a heads-up as I've just posted auction details in the junkyard for a copy of this sword. I had enough pieces for one last piece.

Junkyard details

I like to call this the "red-headed stepchild" version (apologies to any red-headed stepchildren out there). It's not as symmetrical or perfect as the final commission pieces but she's still a perty thang!

I'm glad you brought this thread back. I *FINALLY* found my X Perfect Book and can finally scan that other sword for you. Will get it tonight for sure.

Ok so it wasn't as fast as I hope but here it is anyway. This is the sword CLAMP had commissioned someone to make for their 'Perfect Book'.

Here's the pic:

And here's a link to a bigger version:

Thanks for scanning that! The only real difference I see is the serrated edge on the cross guard.

My buyer for the last copy (mentioned earlier) fell through so I have re-listed it on eBay.

Here is the Junkyard post with the auction link.

Once this goes, I ain't making any more!
