I maid this from scratch for a figure I am working on. I used 1mm styrene for the blade and tang and then used .5 mm styrene for the outside the the handle.
I then used a little bit of 1 mm styrene for the hand guard on both sides of the blade. I then shaped it all and dipped the handle in plasti dip for give it a rubber coating. It came out really nice even though I lost some of the detail. I carved the blade to have a tanto style ede and then painted the blade black with a silver tip. Let me know what you think. Sorry about the crappy pictures, it was hard to take detailed pics of such a small item. |

I thought this was going to be a custom of the Lone Ranger's sidekick...

I heart custom weapons. I'm too impatient and fat-fingered to work with styrene successfully. Fun stuff, man. I'm with WeaponX, though, I want to see the figure it goes with!

I am really excited about the figure but I am not sure how its going to turn out. I am working with materials I have never really messed with. This weapon is my first time using styrene and I am using green stuff for the first time on the figure so we will see. If the weapon is any indication I think that the figure will turn out decent. |
