Although I'd like to also make the skull, there's just not enough time before Christmas. Someday I may follow link's example, but for now....shields and knives!

Okie doke....so.... critiques are highly begged for as well as comments of any kind. I'm aiming to make about 4 sets of em, and make it possible to mount them on walls.

(Please tell me if the shapes look right. I know the handle isn't complete on the knife...)​

These are just for the models. The finals will be all fiberglass resin + bondo.
Grrr....only about 2 weeks left!

I agree. Great start, but the knives look a little wide.


no knife is too big, long or wide, heck i own a replica buster sword from final fantasy 7.

Here's a vectorized trace of the combat knives:
..... :cautious:
Sometimes I feel like the world requires that I suffer. Hehe, here I've been searching around the net for about 1/2 an hour looking for a good picture, and now one is available.
(Thanks) ....and good picture btw :D

Yup yup.....basic pink insulation foam
....and thanks Vrogy, but I already have/had my picture and cutouts ready. Next time I might query you for pictures before I go on a massive hunt for hard-to-find stuff. :p

More pictures! I hated the way the first knife came out, so I'm gonna follow Unique Name's example and do the whole thing + handle in wood. Little bit more skill required, but I'll try to rise to the occassion.

this shield is the one im going to make can some one help me

The best way to get help is to sit down and think hard about your problem.
Anyways, I'd start by studying the shapes of the shield and knives, maybe redrawing them as vector that can be scaled up and printed as a guide for cutting. Then you probably want to choose a material and construction methods and start working.

Looks Fantastic, you have a great idea my friend, maybe it'll catch on
But i have to agree with the others the Swords look a little Wide, I'm sure you're gonna do trimming but other wise it looks fantastic.

So, it's Christmas Day (Happy Christmas by the way, everyone.) and you still haven't given us any progress of this sweet prop. Have you finished it yet? If so, how did the recipient like it?
