Hi all. I thought I'd try out killer13's excellent rusty sword tutorial--- Rusty Sword Tutorial video by bxmas13 - Photobucket

and here's what I came up with. I took a shortcut and used black and red paint with a little sand mixed it to try to achieve the rust effect and topped that with silver metallic spray paint, killer's technique, I think, is much better. After cutting out the basic shape per his instructions I used a dremmel for the detail work. The basket guard on one sword is cut from a plastic jug. I used hot glue to create the "scrollwork". The metal hand guard on the other is made from coat hanger wire with hot glue globbed on to give the metal a weathered look. Fairly quick project (about an hour per sword, minus drying time).

looks great!!!!

Those look really good. Great job.

cool what are they gonna be used for?

thanks! Not sure exactly what I'm going to to do with them, they'll be part of a pirate theme somehow.

They look really good, great job on the details.

Is the handle wood on the sickle?

Don't know, Calloween--looks like wood to me, I used the video as a tutorial.

Love the detail, great work. Very realistic.

Nice job! I like the "battle" marks on the blades.
