Here's the art I used.
First step is to cut out the shape in the acrylic.
Glue them together (using special acrylic glue).
Grind down the edges.
Buff and sand until it is clear again.
Each sword takes me 3-4 hours even though there are only a few pictures. It takes light very strangely and photographs strangely as well. I shipped one off to the client and the other...well it was given away haha.
It's a bit silly of question, but what color acrylic did you use? When I look online, the red acrylic sheets I see aren't as dark as the ones you used.
ReplyDeleteYeah this one was just the normal red. Sorry for the late reply!
DeleteAmazing work! Can I purchase this sword from you? :3
ReplyDeleteSure just send me a message on my FB and we can get something arranged. Thanks for your interest!
DeleteHow heavy is the sword?
ReplyDeletemaybe 4 lbs
DeleteHow much material is necessary for one sword?
ReplyDeleteDepends entirely on how big you make yours. I used 12sq ft of acrylic I think.
DeleteHow big was the sword you made using just 12sq ft of acrylic ??
ReplyDeleteAbout 3 ft long.
DeleteThats a great length. I Send you a message in facebook about purchasing a blood sword from you since im not that confident in doing as great job as you did..... I'm waiting for the answer :3
DeleteGreetings! Extremely happy that I fell upon this. Since you are used to using this method, do you think that it would be possible for me to make blade portion of this weapon out of this material? Realistically...

I have honestly been struggling with what I should make it out of since I am new to prop making. Thank you for your time! :)
Yeah should be fine! Acrylic is a bit heavy though so each weapon will have considerable weight to it, the effect should be worth it though! GL!
DeleteI do not have a facebook but I really would like to have this prop for an upcoming convention I am going to next month is there anyway I can buy one from you still?
ReplyDeleteI should be making more after July 4th weekend. Send me an email : ZabateJ@Live.com
DeleteHow much would you ask for it?
ReplyDelete$150 + shipping
DeleteHi there! Would you by any chance be taking any commissions for this piece?
ReplyDeleteHello! I was also wondering if you were taking commissions for this piece!!! Its absolutely amazing!!
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, where did you buy your acrylic from? The hardware stores nearby have red acrylic, but in monstrous sizes for monstrous prices. I'd really appreciate the info.
ReplyDeleteSDPlastics. They charge per square foot, and yeah acrylic gets expensive if you buy more than you need T_T.
