All in all, I was happy with how this sword turned out, and I learned a lot from the process.The Pleiades – The 7 Sisters Star Constellation was made possible by the creative idea of A. I finished off the hilt with a purple shimmering metallic spray paint. I made a video showing the mold-making process on that a few weeks back. The yellow jewels were a separate piece which I cast in tinted epoxy. In fact, I would probably be tempted to carve most of it from a solid chunk of wood. I used an air-drying clay that was way too soft if I were to try this again, I would look for a much harder clay. I also tried sculpting the quillons out of clay, which is not something I typically do. The process was far from perfect, but the end result was pretty satisfactory (though you can see some wibbly defects in the picture below). Despite how awesome I seem, I do not have much experience with molding and casting. Legend of Zelda Master SwordĬasting the hilt directly onto the blade was a very challenging and hairy process for me.
Another reason was that the hilt was a very time-consuming piece, and I wanted the option of making more swords in the future. I wanted a strong connection between hilt and sword that would not break when you played with it. I decided I would make the hilt as a separate piece, then mold it and cast it directly onto the blade. After priming and sanding it, I used some Krylon Stainless Steel spray paint, which, after rubbing it with some steel wool, makes a very convincing metallic finish. This time I went with a solid piece of oak. I made the blade out of wood again on the original swords, I used plywood, which does not really make a convincing faux metal. I filmed nearly every step of the process and edited it into a six-minute video. Since I gave all the original swords away, I decided I would make a new one with some improvements for myself. It was a fun project, but I had very little time or money to do it I thought it was a bit blocky, and the paint treatment was very rudimentary. About a year and a half ago, I worked with The League of Extraordinary Thespians to make a Master Sword for their Legend of Zelda musical.
