    Model Curtana - Procrastination produces some wonderful work!

    In my procrastination from studying (Landscape Architecture student) I took a side step and started working on a physical model of my character's main weapon!

    I have access to laser cutters and 3D Printers here at the university but I'm not sure how I want to go about finishing this. I may make a 1:1 model or a smaller version keychain.

    I thought I'd post an image of my progress so far and post updates as my little side project continues!

    Enjoy!

    Let us now how the finished product comes out. I'd like one myself if you were willing!

    I finished working for the day so here is an update on my project!

    I opted for a 1:1 scale model. Here is what I have so far:





    There are some things I would change if I was to do it again, but it's looking pretty awesome so far!

    I only have 2 of the 5 layers cut. I'll be doing the rest of them tomorrow morning.

    Once this is fully done, I'm going to try making a keychain next!

    Here's a link to a video showing the etching done on the base layer so I know where to fasten the following layers of the Curtana:

    Aaaand here are the detail pieces that will go on each side of the base sword!



    Next is to wait for these to dry and glue them onto the base!

    Here is the unpainted, fully assembled Curtana!







    The next stage is to paint the sword which may take a while.
    If I do another one of these, I'll be doing it in more layers and using thinner wood so more detail will show through.
    I'd also paint them before assembling them next time.
