How I Made the DRAGONSLAYER from Berserk (with no tools)

Рік тому

Some men's dreams can hold dominion over the entire world. Dreams, like great storms, that blow hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake.
Some men's dreams are to build giant cardboard anime swords.

@danielbufton167 Рік тому

I'm very impressed, almost every other Dragonslayer I've seen others make have been way off with the proportions but this looks accurate to me. I 3D modeled then printed my own one, it took hundreds of hours printing and assembly work but turned out amazing... And a lot heavier than I expected.

For the graphite powder, if you spray your gloss colour on again and wait until it's nearly dirty but tacky then apply the graphite powder it gives amazing results and way better than applying it to a dry surface.

Hey, just as a heads up the reason you don't see the chain half the time is because that's what Guts uses to attach it to his back, it's not just inconsistency. Great build, loved to see it!

The small chain piece (I believe) is what keeps the sword in place when worn in the "sheath" on guts back, the tip sits in a small pouch and leans and the chainlink just connects to a hook supporting the opposite wnd of the sword from the pouch, thats why you only see it half the time when its out of the sheath, and not in, because its between the sword and his back
