Arkyhead Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Absolutely incredible. I would pay in blood to have the skills to make something like that, even only once. i'm sure you are able to, and if you want to, just start practicing on stuff. make a simple dagger first or a simple short sword. just think in layers and start carving and sanding. i use a Dremel with mostly a sandband and just sandpaper to sculpt the MDF wood. if any of you guys have questions on how to do stuff, just ask me :) just don't be upset if your first build doesn't turn out that wel, my first build sucked ******. i have been doing this for 2 and a half years now, and finally getting the feel for it.

Doozy84 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 that's pretty much the craziest thing I've ever seen, and I've been to Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtZerge Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Woah! That's pretty sweet! Thanks for the inspiration, I've started working out the designs for a Glaive yo-yo. Thankfully, my work place is totally fine with me making stuff with our CNC machine as long as it's scrap material and it's during break. Only thing is I want a traditional shape, but all see-through except for the Glaive part (style points), and we don't have transparent material (aside from glass) that I can cut. Shopping trips ahoy, I'll make a separate thread for that.Anyway, this is really awesome! Maybe at some point you can try a sturdier material that will allow for the use of the blade's joints, that would be incredibly amazing. (and fun to toss, as the force of rotation would cause it to open) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkyhead Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 hey guys, thanks for all the intrest in my project here :D just watched prime time, and @DEmegan thanks for mentioning my glaive :) to bad you couldn't show it haha (A) i need to get this thing done asap so i can make a mold of it and make a durable replica of it. keep hanging arround for updates! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkyhead Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thats a nice job :D You planning to show up on conventions with that?^^ that depends Gekker, i actually want to make a whole excalibur cosplay, but my friend needs to help me out with the soft material for the suit itself. the helmet i can make though, i have the high poly version of the excalibur helmet done already, just need a lowpoly version now to unfold it. but i do not know if a convention will allow me to wear the glaive there in public. i think they might see it as a actual weapon instead of a prop.

Arkyhead Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 make a mold of it once you finish, so you can make a steel version of it :3 it is a fun idea, but i won't be doing that. that way it would be a real weapon. and i do not make weapons. i make props :P i want to practice my skills, because i want to create props that could be used in shortmovies (or bigger ones). so i will be making a mold out of it from rondo with a fiberglass mix. that way it will be extremely strong, durable, and sort of lightweight. p.s. rondo is a mixture of car bondo, and resin. mixxed together it feels a bit like thick yoghurt. when you mix it with loose fibers, you can still pour it, and once hardened it gets really strong.

Arkyhead Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Looks a tad too big to me, but gosh diggity that'd make a fine mantlepiece. thanks! ^^ and the reason why it looks quite big is because i am not tall haha. i actually measured the excalibur frame from a screenshot to the glaive itself, by deviding and multiplying with my own length you get the real length of the object itself. so if my calculations are right, it should be pretty dajumm close :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadRain Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 hi guys, you might know that i am working on a braton replica, but since i need to get back to my school, it will be a more of a long term project that i will be working on, nonetheless.. i wanted to make something from the warframe franchise more quickly. so without further blabla.. i am working on the glaive! :D scaling this thing was the hardest thing actually, and i finished sculpting on side today. the material i'm using for this project is plain and simple: 9 mm MDF wood. Resin Bondo and allot of sandpaper from P80 to P400 so anyway picturetime! now that i have one side done, i just need to carf out the other side, and then i can smooth it out with some bondo and paint it :D wel i hope you guys like it so far, so leave a comment belooowww xD or if you have any questions at all about this prop or anything in general feel free to ask! i'm glad to help any beginner prop builders out :) but for now.. Arkyhead out! Little bit too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Excal is damn tall. Doesn't matter though, still awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
