Sculpting weapons

[Tahn]

I\'ve always wondered how this is done, and I might have to do it soon, in GW scale. Does any one know of any articles? There dont seem to be any in the CMON section.

Thanks

There\'s a tutorial by Allan C, I think. Hold on, and I\'ll post you a link...

OK! Here it is...

It\'s in French, but even I can get the idea with the help of the photos and Babelfish... Hope it helps!

I suppose you could use it for swords as well. Just repeat what he does to the cutting edge on the other side of the sword as well.

Nice link I like that.........I\'ve been using plasticard it\'s just a case of getting the right thickness for the scale of weapon you want.
One other very useful tool has been a swivel head knife.
Comes in a normal knife handle but is a small swivel blade that allows you to follow curves smoothly. Also a good sent of french curves can really help when cutting these kinds of shapes.
