It almost looks like silver precious metal clay. I absolutely love these little swords.


These bring me back to my childhood. When I was little, I use to sneak into my dads shop and use his equipment. I would take bits of scrap metal and make miniaturized weapons with his forge and anvil, but Nothing as beautiful as this.

Oh, right! They are for the models, but my sculptor friend wants one to make just a miniature display with a plaque and have it resiging on a shelf as an object of awesome.

And also, I think they would make great letter openers!

That would be so perfect! Okay, well I'll be waiting for them to be finished, because I think that might be a perfect anniversary gift for my husband...

and Sculptor approves ..

Yeah, I am so looking forward to these babies myself...
My personal copy will have set stones as well.

The sword was something to create from scratch, but I got there in the end
Here's a Link (absolutely no pun intended) for some in prog pics: [link]

These are made for a friend who makes models.

He sculpts them himself, and this is for his first sculpt to be cast in actual resin, the same material as the kits you buy.

The kit made by him only exist in a small number, I think it is 5 or 10, and he want the sword on his model (and two more models from pre-orders) to be really, really fancy.

When painting something in a metal tint you can only get so much shine to it, and knowing that you have a real silver sword set with real diamonds and true glass enamel is a cut above the rest.

I do however have a mold for the sword, and the blessing of the creator to make more after I finished those he ordered from me as long as I give him the sculptors' credit and a symbolic sum for each I sell.

So if this goes well they will reside in my inventory of things I craft and sell, and there will absolutley be room to place a custom order.
