Description
The Legendary Kingdom Key Keyblade In Kingdom Hearts.A simple commission that I enjoyed making. I should make my own.. This is way better than that one i bought off ebay forever ago >_>;
100% hand carved Pinewood. Leather wrapped handle. Metallic paints. To achieve different thicknesses, multiple layers were used.
If i had the time i would love to metal plate it >_>. That would take forever though and be much more costly.

Comment, Fav, and Enjoy!!
Forever dedicated to for inspiring me to become a prop maker.
With my Keyblades, I strive to obtain 100% accuracy in every possible way. I attempt to go beyond by selecting premium unique color choices and even enhancing details to my own designs. Out of love to the Kingdom Hearts series, it is my honor to craft such elite weaponry not only for my personal admiration, but for my fellow cosplayers, prop makers, friends, and fans. I would be nothing without my friends and fans. The intense hard work, sweat, blood, and tears that I put into making these is worth it. I hope that one day my talents and artwork may be recognized highly by others. Thank you.

About metal plating⦠there's an easier way to go about it. I'm making my own Kingdom Key (to start) and I wanted to make it as accurate as possible. I did some research and found an electroplating company that was willing to plate it.
How electroplating works (for non conductive objects like wood): They coat the surface area to be plated with a resin, then a metal (usually silver) based paint. Then, they dip the object into a solution of the desired metal and plate the object via electrical current.
So if you're willing to make another non-painted Kingdom Key (paint can interfere with the resin) you could plate it with metal via electroplating. It's much easier than plating it by hand.

I have to say, you did a wonderful job on this piece. As far as metal plating goes, that wouldn't look that great. Now if you went with steel, I've had this idea myself. I have been welding for years but lack of funds, means that I can't get the materials. Many nights I've lain awake, trying to imagine how it would be done. You understand, sex changes are costly and this is a lucrative business.

but yes sex changes can be a messy operation.

I have a question. How did you get the dowel/rod part of it to look so smooth. I spray painted mine and it looks really rough. You can see every imperfection in the wood :/
Did you just sand in between coats?
PLEASE HELP ME D:

haha you have to prime first with guesso, then sand then paint. You have to sand with very fine paper - around 400 grit. Sometimes if you're not happy, you have to sand the first coat of paint with very fine paper and then reapply. The gold parts on my updated kingdom keys [link] have like 5 or 6 coats. which is a lot xD

how many cans of paint? Like for just gold, 2? 3?

I read your tutorial on how to make those other keyblades, but that used one sheet of plywood which doesn't look like will work in this case. How did you make this keyblade?
