Re: Sword of Omens build
Thanks Omicron! Though i'm seeing small differences between the screencaps & the official reference sheet, but definitely going with the square teeth (it'll be easier, ha! )
Miketribal- wondering, how will you maintain structural integrity of the thing when there's a big ol' hole for the eye? Thats something i'm wondering about, cuz i would ideally light it up with an even glow around the entire eye. Right now, i'm considering casting the region around the eye of the blade in a clear resin, then finding a way to diffuse the light for an even glow
Okay, here's the latest wip Photos..
Here's one of the bits for the guard, after adding the styrene plates on, and puttying/refining the shape. I had since added more to the tips, because I really wanted them to curve around more. That can be seen better in the second photo
and here's all the parts so far, laid out. The lil' square bit of the guard will be raised like in the picture, and i'll be building the toothy bit, refining the disk for the eye, etc.
I might redo those guard bits. they connect squarely to the main body in the refs instead of the trapezoid shape I have, but it'll depend on how they sit when assembled, since the current taper is a personal touch.

Re: Sword of Omens build
Looking beyond amazing!
This pic shows them rounded off a little. It is ust a matter of opinion but I like this look best as far as teeth shape.

Re: Sword of Omens build
Alright, between other work, I've gotten some more progress done on this
here's the buildup of the teethy area.. sintra sandpaper styrene repeat
lots of filler bondo
the bottom photo is showing why I'll be remaking the hooks there. The tapering would not look right with the thick base

Re: Sword of Omens build (update pg. 2)
Looking fantastic so far. Never realized just how squared off the center portion is. Should look great with the handle sections assembled. I saw the short form blueprint in the first set of pics, are you attempting this one as well?
I'd love to have one of these at this quality of a build. You do know that christmas is soon right....lol

Wow!!
I grew up watching Thundercats, and even now, 20 years later, I still enjoy it.
I'm loving your Sword of Omens. It looks amazing so far, I can't wait to see the end results...I just wish I had the resources to build one of my own

Re: Sword of Omens build
First, let me say that you are doing an excellent job on this, and I've been following with interest since you started the thread.
Might I suggest tapering the thick base instead? A little will go along way. I'd just hate to see you change the guard as it's got a wonderful shape to it.

I agree the cross guards are beautiful but not show accurate.
