Today I will be making the Soldier's Sword from The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild.
I start by making a paper pattern of the handle and the blade.
Then I cut out all of the pieces. Then I will cut out a long strip through the middle for the dowel rod to fit in.
After that I glue all of the pieces together.
Once all the pieces are glued together I use my new belt sander to sharpen the blade and round the handle.
For the guard I cut out two nine inch strips.
And then I glued those onto the sword.
After that I cut out two circles out of 1mm foam one bigger than the other. The size of the the circles depends on the size of your pattern.
Then I glued all four pieces to both sides of the sword.
Now its time for the paint. I use Plastidip for the first layer.
After the Plastidip is all dried I spray the sword with silver spray paint.
After everything is dry I use shoe polish to make the sword look dirty.
Now that the shoe polish is done I spray the sword with clear protection coat.
Then I wrap the handle with black hockey tape.
That´s the finished build! Thank you for reading my post! Please leave your suggestions for my next build in the comments!
