Will you be making more and selling it by any chance, if so how much would you sell it for??
@_@ I am extremely lazy to create it lol.
Though I am not sure weather to create it, cause im scared I won't make it good enough.
If you do attempt to make your own instead, I would be more than happy to explain how I went through mine in detail to help, and answer any specific questions you may have. This was my first time making a prop like this, so I'm sure you'd be able to make something fine too
Since your pretty awesome at making it!! :3
I tried looking online to buy the sword, I found only one and that one didn't even look like his Noctis sword.
Yeah true, the shipping would probably cost a lot, especially for a huge sword >.<!
Yeah true, since it's hand made and very delicate. Yeah, I saw how you wrote, that your sword broke a few times! >_<!
That's why I am scared, cause I dunno what to do to not make it break. Let alone to put together the pieces and which pieces to buy, to create the sword and etc.
Like for example, I dunno where to buy the material XD!
As well as, I dunno how to cut wood xD!
Would using a hand saw, be too difficult to cut the wood??
Can you make a video tutorial?? on how to create the sword?? >__<
Since I am very confused with what to do and where to start.
And how much money did you have to spend on all the equipment and material??
So I know, so I save up to buy it. To try it out, to make the sword somehow.
True XD! I usually tend to give up, when something gets too difficult.
Yeah true! But I will try my best, I guess nothing hurts to try and make it. If it doesn't work out, then I will try again. Then if it fails, giving up and wait for you to make swords, so I buy one from you. XD
Don't let the fear of it breaking it stop you xD If something does happen while you're working on it, it's quite easy to fix with some wood glue or adhesive.
I bought the majority of my materials at a hardware store (the hardwood, the insulator (pink) foam, wood paint and spray paints), with the balsa wood and florist's foam being purchased at an arts and crafts store.
To cut out the blade, I used a hacksaw since it cuts finer than a hand saw (which is useful for the curve of the blade). And cutting the type of wood I used (poplar), it was easier than I expected to cut. To cut the handle and the slit in the handle, I did get my dad to help with that by using our table saw to make sure the cuts were as straight as possible.
Most of the equipment I already have lying around (like the saws), but the foam cutter I got was the most expensive thing I got purposely for this (I think it had to be at least $30+? at the arts and crafts store I got it at). Materials...um... I really forget the cost of each piece since I got the stuff over a year ago o.0 It does add up though, all the pieces, so just check the prices at hardware stores, since I'm sure it varies from place to place. The cost of the paint adds up too...
And I'm afraid I don't have the means to make a video tutorial, at least at the moment Dx Afraid all I have are the photos I took of the process and posted. For starting off though, make sure to have reference images you want (I looked at official images of him, the trailers, and a few other really nice swords people made on here for my reference), the measurements (since I specifically tried to make this sword scaled to my height), and time, since it can take a bit to make. Then start from the core of the sword (the hardwood), build up that lovely engine hilt with whatever materials you decide to use (I've seen some people use real engine parts), make sure you like how everything looks, attach them, then put on the coats of paint.
Hope that helped *-*
