The template for the ring that attaches to a belt was static on the model I found, so I decided to change it and make it moveable. Small parts are hard to work with but I knew I had to make it move! If not for myself, then for my friends that would probably brake that part right away if it was...

Alright, time to build some Star Wars-models. One or two at least. I am starting with this build, something that will hopefully become Luke´s second lightsaber! :-) First off, the texture on the model I found was a little bit too cartoony, even though the model itself was beautiful! A quick...

To Rogerio Silva: Couldn´t agree with you more! :-) To Oliver Bizer: Thank you so much! :-) It means a lot!

To Rhaven Blaack; Thank you so much!! :-) It was hard but totally worth it! To frap10; I agree with you, it is amazing what can be done with paper! I am still surprised whenever I find a great papercraft that someone took the time to construct! And the best part is that I get to build them...

To Revell-Fan; Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-) A "real prop"-look was actually what I was hoping for! I am very happy with how it turned out, glad you think it looks ok! To Heckler; Thank you very much! I am definitely happy I did the three holes, because I do look at it every day! :-) To...

Here is the final result! The plaque, with the sword on it, now has a prime spot on my wall! :-)

First I designed a plaque based on the various pictures I found (first version I made looked very bad, the second version turned out fine), then I started working on some kind of stable holder for the actual sword on the plaque. I made two holders that went through the plaque and were then glued...

The time has come to build a plaque so I can display the sword mounted on the wall. There are so many different plaques out there that some of the swords get mixed up sometimes and it took me along time with lots of research to figure out the correct plaque for each sword. I finally put together...

To Rhaven Blaack; Wow! Thanks! I like it too! And of course I am going to do a plaque for wall mount! :-) Pictures of that build will be posted here very soon! To inky; Thank you very much! :-) I think it actually WAS difficult to build, so if I made it look easy it is because I really took my...

... all of a sudden I am the proud owner of a full size paper replica of Anduril, the sword of the mighty KING Aragorn! :-) Yeah!! This was a challenging build, but totally worth every minute! I enjoyed building it (really, I did) and I am very happy it turned out ok! :-)

So, all that is left is to glue shut the tip part (open in the left part of the photo) and the blade is done! In the right part of the photo, the three main parts, the handle, the hilt and the blade, are now complete!! :-) All that is left is to glue the finished parts together, and...

...it was time for the last section and the tip section to meet! Working on both of them from two ends at the same time felt like the right way to go so that´s what I did. To finish the concave part with the help of 2-3 small parts (see close-up) that were supposed to be bent in the right way...

A close-up of the concave part, then on with working on the blade (that took many, many hours, even days) until...

Time for the blade! Now, it may have looked pretty easy, but when I realized that besides the last section that was the tip, every other section of the blade (there were four) was supposed to be built by gluing together six different stripes (three on the front and three on the back), I felt...

After bending the hilt into impossible (almost) angles I finally reached the end of this part, when there suddenly was a piece to glue that "closed" the hilt part, leaving no space to glue on more pattern parts. That part was hard to glue in place, but it came together nicely after being...

So, part nr 2 of 3, the hilt! After making the difficult handle, the hilt was a joy to assemble! :-) Even though it looked crooked and strange at times, as more small parts were added it got more stable and actually looked kind of nice! And by "nice", I mean similar to what it was supposed to...

When getting to the handle, I must say that things got a little complicated. To fit all the small pieces straight was hard. Very hard! And there were so many of them! The handle part took many hours to complete! After finishing this first part, I understood that the sword is made of three...

Ok! Time to build my first sword. And I have been warned about it not being easy to build swords in paper! However, when I found a model of Anduril - the sword used by Aragorn in the third Lord of the Rings-movie I knew I just wanted to own it! :-) So, starting with the top (when it´s pointing...

Uploaded! Alright boys and girls, the badge file is in the moderation queue under SCIFI/OTHER! Hopefully it will be available for download soon! :-) Fingers crossed!

To dnalor; Thank you so much, you pointed out the two things that gave me the most trouble, glad they turned out ok! :-) To Rhaven Blaack; Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-) Just happy all that hard work resulted in something ok-looking! To Revell-Fan; Thanks! :-) Model of the month? Slow...
