Hey guys, I need some help building the Fury's Song from COD. I know what most of you are thinking, "cod sucks, play a real game like halo". I know, I just love how this sword looks.
It has the perfect blend of angles and elegant curves. I'm using a method of making a cardboard cutout then hardening it. I have done the hardening of both sides with a 1/8 inch thick layer of fiberglass resin. Once most of the angles are sanded in im going to smooth it out with bondo and sand some more. The problem that I have run into is the issue of it being too flexible.
One idea that I had to counteract this is to make a silicon mold once all of the work is done, then cast a model using smooth cast 300, possibly putting an aluminum rod into it for support.
Another was making a big brick of micarta (spelling?) then purchasing a scroll saw to cut out the patterns. That way it would be more like grinding a real sword (which I would do if I could afford carbon steel).
I will appreciate any help that you guys can offer me. I might be doing this all wrong so please help me! I'll also try to post some pictures if you guys need them. I'm on my phone at the moment but ill try to do it soon.
