Description
i finally got this keyblade primed. it took awhile cause i had a lot of work in school and my job. this is after the 2nd coat of primer. i already started casting the clear resin. i need two covers for the small clocks above the handle, and 2 blue tinted eyes like on the way to dawn.if anyone knows of a glow in the dark blue that is blue in daylight and darkness, please let me know. right now i'm planning on fabric paint that does it. after i finish painting this i have to start on the skull noise as a Christmas gift for my stepbrother.

What's the length of the keyblade and the width of both the teeth and handle if you dont mind me asking?

What wood do you use for your keyblades if you don't mind me asking?

For everything from the young xehanort keyblade and earlier i used plywood because it's cheap, easy to carve, and the layers show if sections are even or where they are in relation to other areas. Now i tend to use pine for large pieces and poplar for durable yet light pieces. Mmm poplar

Thanks for the information. It had to be pretty thick Plywood though, hm? Like 4 ply? 3/4 of an inch?

Thanks, working on a third one as we speak and hopefully getting an airbrush for the glow in the dark paint. Also might make a mold for it eventually so it isnt a pain to make everytime. Just so detailed and so many things can go wrong.

I hear that. I had a tough time with my dinky little Kingdom Key.

I didnt realize it till i made a kingdom key, that it's actually a harder one to make if you're trying to make it look like the real deal. The oathkeeper, star seeker, and lionheart were all a little easier.

I just used a dowel rod rather than gluing and shaving all that wood down.

Yeah i just got lucky and happened to buy a lather for a past project, so i didnt have to put too much effort in and got a perfectly round pole.

A Lather? (Forgive my low level skillz)

Oops, i meant a lathe. It spins a piece of wood between two points and you use chisels and gouges to shave it down to a round pole and shape it. Ued for table legs, trident poles, candlesticks...

This is a rare find indeed. Wicked keyblade man
Other option I can think of is using reflective sticker. While it does not glow by itself, it does show that illusion when being shot from a camera.

Thanks! I actually found a good deal on a glow in the dark sky blue/aqua that glows for 10 hours and is a light blue/clear in daylight. It'll be perfect.

Shit man, that's looking wicked ;D
Any word on the price on it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! The timing on when i would start making it decides price now, because i dont know how much casting resin i'll have left after this. Estimated cost would be around $400 now. I dont think it will go any higher until i decide to raise my prices a little again, which wont be for a little while.

XD thanks. The casting resin and glow in the dark blue paint are gonna be a pain, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I can believe that. xD But from what I've seen you will definitely get it to work.
