Thundercats Sword of Omens - Full size replica - My build/upgrades step by step

[ReelClones]

I’d also love to find a way to add the spike part on the base of the blade you never ever see this bit of detail on any of them
Has anyone got a good way or idea of how to achieve this? 3d print, metal cast? View attachment 1935568

I’ve been thinking about this, and what I think I’ll try is 3D printing an insert piece for the blade, and casting it in pewter. I can’t do it for a while though as I’m presently workshopless!

How would you fit it to the blade? And will you offer them ? I’d love to get some on mine it’s pretty much the last piece required imo

Either glue/and or magnets as the blade is steel. I suppose I could make a few if it works out well and there’s demand for them.

I would definitely buy some if you
Make some it’s the last main part of detail that’s missing imo on these swords
So yes interested!!

Finished my thundercats display I decided not to light the sword but Instead get lighted signs
And some better emblems I also repainted the textured area in a greyish acrylic.

Yes, the signs are a nice touch.

A cheap and easy way would be to make it out of plastic or wood and cover it with aluminum foil tape, the kind used for hvac ductwork. That's a cheap way to get a real metal look. Then attatch it with epoxy or whatever will stick to the blade.

That’s not a bad idea I may try that
