Homemade energy sword replica

I've been working on this the past two weeks or so, and it's finally done after about 35 hours of work. It started out as a papercraft model, then I filled the inside with spray foam, coated the entire thing in resin, and then put a final coat of auto body filler on top of that. That was sanded down nice and smooth, painted, and finished with a slightly glossy sealer for protection and a little shine. It's pretty lightweight (about 4 pounds) and extremely durable, too. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm pretty proud of how it came out. I had so much fun making this, and I definitely plan on doing more in the future. Probably gonna put it up on eBay soon, wish me luck on selling it! :D [url]http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3725/swordhs.jpg[/url] [url]http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4492/85341064.jpg[/url] [url]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/781/43363861.jpg[/url] [url]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3585/97201236.jpg[/url] [url]http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9361/img4145jm.jpg[/url]

  • [quote]I just noticed something, none of the pictures show you actually gripping the sword's handle. Is it too big for a human hand? Did you get really hardcore detailed and make it for an Elite's hand?[/quote]I actually meant to take one, but I completely forgot after I took the rest of the pictures, lol. I didn't purposefully make it for an elite's hand, but the pattern I used was that size, so it turned out bigger than expected. It can still fit in a human hand, though, it just looks big. :P [quote]Hmm... from what I seen and read so far (coming from avid fan of Halo) I would feel comfortable betting around $150... although you can definitely get more from the right buyer.[/quote]I know, $310's a bit steep, but I put a hundred bucks into the materials, plus the amount of work, PLUS the fact that I'd lose $30 in eBay fees...I'd only make $150 profit off of it. I'm hoping I get the right buyer, but if I don't I can always offer it to the highest bidder! [quote]plus $39 shipping and handling if you live in the US[/quote]Yeah, international shipping here is ridiculous. I'm hoping to be back home in the US in the next few months, so if I don't sell it here, I can always sell it then with cheaper shipping...although, I'm still hoping to sell it here, we need to money. :P Thanks for all the compliments guys, your comments really mean a lot! The auction runs out tonight, I'm excited...and nervous, lol.
