Okay, I've decided to start work on something that I have been meaning to do for a while now and that's a complete Black Swordsman outfit from the ground up using easily obtainable materials. Of course some people will probably come along in here and criticise by telling me I should be using different materials etc, but that kind of defeats the object. I have no intentions of this outfit coming across as a horrible representation but I'm not about to spend a LOT of money getting it 100% faithful with materials.
So far I've made the following using some basic items by scaling up from my recently obtained Black Swordsman figure that I shared in the merchandise section of the forum. The figure has proven a useful reference tool so far and I intend to keep making as much to scale from that as possible. Anyway, enough talk, here are the pictures.
My starting point for the base of the Dragon Slayer's handle. I started this while I was bored Saturday afternoon and didn't stop
Very early work on the arch where the hilt joins the sword (note: the keyring is just for show, I intend to use something different for the final product)
Much like everything else, this is early work on the throwing knives
and this is the 6ft3 bar laying across my living room to help me get an idea on how to develop the DS further.
I'll keep you guys posted with my progress, this has a deadline for May. Tomorrow I will be starting work on the dagger and potentially the body armour
