Weapon-WIP by Ordog (Lifesize Powersword)
Hello again.
After a long break itīs time for some new stuff from me. This time.....a bit bigger than the normal stuff i did before. Since i sold my Army on E-Bay for a new "Hobby" (My sweet lil daughter Saskia) i have to start from scratch...... with a piece Plastic..... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg849...pg&res=landing A big piece, isnīt it? After some sanding and cutting the first test for full effect. Powerd by an LED Mini-Maglight.... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg845...pg&res=landing for full win...... Next step on the way: Powerpack and sword handle in true Spacemarine-Style Hope you like these early pictures from my first WIP in the last four years. (Ans Sorry for my poor english......) |
...not bad. :)
Seriously though, this looks very promising. I espicially like the blue glow. Look forward to an update! |
LOL :D
love the update! definitely not the normal plog we get on here :) |
Still need some bits ans pieces, but i am on my way ;)
And i never did the "normal" stuff |
Updatetime:
Today I took the first step for the Sword Grip. I wanīt some kind of "Mecanicus"-Style with some easy materials from my shelf. Step 1: Four pieces of wood, salvaged from a Flatscreen-Package. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg849...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg228...pg&res=landing Step 2: Prepairing the pieces with white glue and some screws. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg526...pg&res=landing Repeat this step.... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg338...pg&res=landing and then bring the two pieces together (with more screws and glue) http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg220...pg&res=landing I used a saw, to bring both ends of the handle to the same lenght. Step 3: I took some electrical wire for homeinstallation (3x 1,5mmē).... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg832...pg&res=landing and stripped them from the isolation to get some nice looking copperwire. Now for the long hard work. covering the woodcore with copperwire. It took me 10 Minutes for a nice beginning..... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg834...pg&res=landing but unfortunately i donīt like the overall look and the feeling of this first try.... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg823...pg&res=landing So i scraped this prototype, but i can still use the pics i took for a small "First Look". I will keep the copperlook, but I will move on to an more elegant Design...... Ceya soon Ordog |
That looks awesome! Very inspiring work. Im assuming its for larp?
|
No, itīs just for fun, and later on as some kind of "Sleep Well" Moodlight.
|
Grip looks promising. A friend of mine showed me a picture of someone who used crimson leather for the grip, it looked awesome but I think it's a bit more expensive than what your doing right now.
Keep it coming! |
You'll need the hilt to be sanded or carved to a round profile, or else it'll just be too uncomfortable to hold or wield. Also, the round profile will allow the wire-winding to work better and look & feel more natural. Love the blue glow!
|
Like i said, i will make a new grip with a more fitting design :)
Itīs good to be "Back in action" |
