The Hobbit: Dwalin Axes.

[SirRobotboy]

Hi! I'm doing Dwalin the dwarf axes of the hobbit movie based on the designs of weta workshop. I hope you like it.

That looks great! Is that a bigger scale than the ones Weta are selling?

 

[red4]

What tool and technique are you using to engrave?

 

[SirRobotboy]

I approached the maximum effort to the measurements given in the page of weta workshop. this is a home work will probably have measures that will not be the same. Sorry for my english because im spanish.

red4, I'm using a tool with diamond tip is used to cut laminated sheets. Just with a ruler, I review the pencil drawings.

[mcdrowbane]

Y las lineas curvadas son con la pura mano, sin regla?

Perdon no lo he dicho, esta echo con una plantilla echa de la madera que sobró al cortar el hacha en si, es decir que con lo que sobró que ya tenia la curva pues sirvió para marcar. Saludos.

Ah, that makes sense. I wouldn't have thought of that.

How did you get on SirRobotboy ? They look amazing.
I am making one in foam at the moment (almost finished) for someone for Halloween so thought I'd look to see what other people are doing.
All of the detail around the outside took me ages, I can only imagine that would be multiplied in mdf or timber.

 

[SirRobotboy]

Thanks

Nerfenstein

, I want to se your axes!!
Yeah, are made with mdf. Here I bring a breakthrough.

 

[Nerfenstein]

I just made one oversized version as it was for someone for Halloween.
He really liked it



Yours is lovely, so very neat, foam is less so.

 

[SirRobotboy]

Wow! This axe is so incredible!
Thanks

I'm working on a base to hang on the wall. I will put the dragon Smaug in the base.
