Gladius Ferrum continued

Yes ! the two halves stayed together  as I wanted. I thought it would be cool to colour it black and metallic blue and it came out great. All I need to do now is put on some leather around the handle. Will post a picture of that soon.

Gladius Ferrum continued...

I continued to work on my Gladius Ferrum, I sawed wood for a frame for the mold, put the sculpted sword in the middle, seperated with vaseline and poured plaster all around and over it. Then I left it to dry completely and then ..... lifted the sculpt out of the cast.... woah...exciting ! But now I need some stuff to make the final sword with......mayby perspex ? Liquid something that I can mix and will harden hard enough..... see more pics in the weapons page
