Thought I would show a few items that I've created over the past few months.
First is a broken Conan Father's Sword with a display. This is actually an idea that I got from another forum that I was browsing around on. One of the members had made a broken version of the Conan Fathers sword like what Conan raised up after defeating Rexor at the battle of the mounds, and whatr he beheaded Thulsa Doom with. I thought I would give it a try. I am pretty happy with the results:
In the last picture you see a "Wheel of Pain" pendant that I made. The guy in ythe other forum made one from an actual branch. I was unable to find one that I could work with, so I made mine out of modeling epoxy clay and painted it.
The sword is a cheap Chinese knock off. I disassembed it, sharpened the blade and then cut it off to look broken using a cut off wheel and my Dremel. I painted the guard and pommel with a bronze paint, them blacked it by rubbing it with black enamel, then a little dry brushing with a lighter bronze. I re-wrapped the grip using leather and deerskin lace, then re-assembled it all.
I made the alter stand out of multiple layers of MDF, painted it with stone paint and cut the cracks with my Dremel.I may re-do the paint in the cracks. I used a very dark, almost black color and was not too happy with it. I will probably use a medium gray if I do redo it. I embedded magnets in the top of the two stones so the sword could not be knocked off accidentally.
A couple of dyed pelts, and viola!
I will post some pics of the other two projects in a short while.
