- Wooden handle shaped on a lathe.
- Foam blade, hand shaped.
- Silver metal effect obtained through buffing with graphite powder.
Overall I'm happy with the general scale of the prop, but there are a few improvements I would make in retrospect.
Creating the handle out of MDF would have made the 'blade' thinner and a lot less chunky looking. It would have also been easier to create symmetry through a thinner base material.
Carving designs or text relevant to the historic period also could have improved this prop, but with the available time and medium that the prop would have been seen in, I don't think it would've been worth this small detail.
Credit: I completed this from start to finish. This was a fairly easy prop to get done quickly so it only needed one person working on it.
