Winged helm finished

All done. I am pleased with this, which is unusual for me as I get very fussy with my work, but it ended up just as I pictured it when I started.

Winged helm is out of the mould

First cast from the mould. Cleaned up and primed

Knights tower shield sculpt

Almost there just got to copy the design across

mine and alex sword finished

Lo all. sorry been very busy and have slacked a bit. So update time.

So the two swords completed.

Almost finished swords

The two swords I am working on. They will be finished in the next couple of days after the black base it completely dry.

Knights shield sculpt

Started the design for the knights shield. The design will be mirrored when finished

Segmented Plate

Had this lying around for some years and alex liked it so we are trying to see it completed. It was something I created in my head and never new if it would work. With alex acting model it is starting to come together.

Dragon sword is almost done

The dragon sword got its handle and pommel today. Almost finished now. Just the polyurathane laquer and paint to do.

Latex skull masks

Found My old skull mask mould. Needs drying out but should be good. If skellies are required let me know.

Alex`s sword

Started on the guard for my friend Alex`s sword. It is useing the same blade as the dragon sword as I dont have the time to make another ( in thruth the blade was for this sword in the first place. I just stole it for the dragon sword as well ).

Knights tower shield

Made the former for my knights shield. Much sculpting needed to get it done but must finish some of the other bits first. :)

Griffin sword

This is a design my friend Paul wants to make. We are working on an idea of a split core to allow you to have a twin and split blade look to a weapon. So this will be a project that I would like to help see done.

Knights dragon sword first cast

Ok this is the first cast of the blade out of the new mould. I added the cross guard so you can see the overall look. It is almost there but the foam is a little heavy at the second. I think it is the age of the foam as it has a 6 month shelf life and I have had this kit for 6 years. I am building a heat box to warm up the moulds and the foam. I hope that will help. The blade is 400 grams and I want to get it down to 300. To be fair I am most likely being overly worried, but I dont want anyone getting knocked out by a weapon that is to heavy.

Knights Dragon sword

I have also got to get 3 longswords done in the next couple of weeks, before the next Fools and Heroes. So I have dug this mould out. It was from the last sword I made 6 or so years ago. I never used it after that. I am revamping it with a beautiful new blade which I will post as soon as the mould is done. These are cast in a low density flexible poly-urathane that is now used in the film industry instead of foam latex. It has slightly less density than plastizote ( what most larp weapons are made from ) but higher elastisaty, so it is less likely to rip.

Dragon armour detail

Coming along. Will keep tweeking it until I am happy
