Clement Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 It finally happened My old metal mohawk punk finally broke a sword. Anyone dealt with this before and know of a fix? No way I can pin this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Privateer Press has guys with katanas that should be around the right size (skorne praetorians IIRC), though their bits shipping is expensive if you're not ordering bulk, so if people at your club/store are putting together an order, that would be the likely way of getting one. If you find a bits store, GW LotR elf swords are probably close to right, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiche Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 http://carmensminiaturepainting.blogspot.com.au/2009/12/dropping-hammer-making-your-own-swords.html?m=1 I 've tried the above tutorial with some success. A few tries later and the flattened brass rod lends itself well to katanas. The good thing is on the punks, if the blade looks rough or irregular it meshes well with the whole undead vibe. If you leave the hilt area rounded it can plug into the hole you drill in the hand very firmly. Aside from the usual safety caveats, the difficult part is finding a solid and safe surface or object to use as an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelante Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 With the metal punk zombies I've bent the arms about so that the swords are touching the body in places. With the brit punk I've got the swords crossing behind him for an extra contact point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Forging my own tiny sword from brass rod looks like an amazing answer, I think I'm going to have to give it a shot. Good idea on reshaping him to get more stability. Wish'd I'd thought of that back before they get painted : \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
