Project: Daedra (WIP) Pics!

Went full-steam ahead on getting my already pep'd Daedric armor components fiberglassed today, and delved into Rondo for the first time...man does that save time! Anywho, this costume will have (a) Dragon Priest's mask (haven't decided which version I like better yet), Daedric gauntlets, fingers, shoulders (maybe), thighs, and shins/booties. Along with all that I've got robes similar to a LoTR Nazgul: long, flowing, quite spooky-looking. Topping it all off I'll have either a Nord Greatsword or a pair of Ebony daggers.

Insides came out pretty good, may have to do some little rondo treatments to fill holes

Today's batch also included the bootie things (they're not really an actual boot per se, but w/e), the rear spikes on the shins, and one of the gauntlets. Rondo should be well cured when I start up again tomorrow so I'll have more pictures.

Been a while since I updated this, but here's some pics of recent work.

Nord Greatsword...yes, the WHOLE greatsword is filled w/ Rondo.


A sane person would've just made this out of a lightweight wood or even foam, nay, not I. It's a "GREATSWORD", there ought to be something actually "GREAT" about it, why not the weight and feel of it. It's only about 8.5lbs. Oh, and there's a 1/4" copper rod running through the middle for added rigidity.

Very nice work!

So here's an update on the work completed thus far. Probably going to turn this into a short tut on why you shouldn't cut corners or skip certain steps.

Here's the greatsword after a base coating of 'rusted iron'

That's it so far, save for a chainmaille chest that'll go with all this that weighs around 50lbs and the robes that're yet to be made
