so, since I have made so many boffers (over 50 and counting) I thought that I would make a topic just for my weapons.
and i'll try to post pictures (photobucket's free right?) of my newest and favorite masterpiecses.
in the works is a pole axe coverted from a spear, and a partisian derived from a longer weapon of the same orign as the afore-mentioned spear. and my disc, I've got to show widigo my disc, if he's still around. :wink:

Sweet. If we get enough topics like this we can always get a subforum for weapon journals.

I have tried bent PVC pipe for the first time, and met with success. I bent my elven half-and-half so that it look's like the ones in the movie, besides obvious details. and I (sob) scrapped my uruk-hia berserker sword to make hadhafang, elronds sword. it's probebly the most perfect sword ive made so far.

I'm having a spot of trouble uploading photos on here, but i'll try to find a way. :roll:

There is always Photobucket or Imageshack to host and then you just link to them here. I'd realy like to see stuff!

this is just a test of a normal short sword of mine with morgul runes down the blade. :twisted:

SWEET

!
yes now we can get this topic under way! first my dagger, this weapon is really fun to fight with and it has a very soft tip.

then my naginata and my disc (the disc is about a foot long)

my poleaxe,

my falchilon resting on my targe,

and hadhafang.

and finally my boffer armor.

let me know what you think. and i'll try to post pictures of the partisian, and elven half-and-half. :wink:

The boffer armor looks well formed. How flexible is it? I'd love to see some color fleshed out on those other weapons if you can.

How did you bend your pvc?

I'm belkar's evil twin · by **I'm belkar's evil twin** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:50 pm

I bent my PVC pipe with a heat gun (think super powered hair-dryer) and even though hadhafang doesn't look that curved it's just enough to make it work, which is the way it is in the movie. :wink:

as for the armor, it is very flexible, both the scale hauberk and the fully articulated gauntlets.the scales are made out of really thin foam covered in duct tape and was really time consuming, more pictures soon.

So where do you get this super powered hair-dryer?

elda kano · by **elda kano** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:13 pm

Can we see a bigger picture of the gaunlets?

DoomRater · by **DoomRater** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:39 pm

Heehee, double post. ALSO seconded on the heat gun and gauntlets. I'm not thinking of making gauntlets myself but a chestplate sounds cool.

A hair-dryer works fine, and I picked one up for 2 dollars at the second hand store. Bends pipe decently, so it rates a meh+.

I was actually thinking of a weapons mod for ZDoom when I heard heat gun- it was essentially a respriting job of the fire spell in Hexen so that it looked like a heat gun. But on topic... Now I may just have to get a hot air hair dryer to try this.

highlander · by **highlander** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:28 pm

The problem I had with the hair dryer was it heated up the pipe unevenly. If you try it, test it on a piece of scrap pipe first, and use gloves.
