1.
This is the wrong board. Go to completely unrelated with this. (I'm sure Obesebear will be along shortly to oblige you) (sl1982 beat him to it. Oh well. :) )
2. That image is a bit large for a forum. It took me dial-up time to load it and I'm on a Optic Fiber connection.
3. That sword is too weak to do anything with other than use as a decoration. When I opened this up I expected to see self-made Bokken or something. Then I would have asked you how you did it.
-
yea I know it is just for decoration
-
BoKKens are actually pretty easy. You just have got to find the right kind of wood and know how to carve. After that it is all whatever the hey you want.
Is that supposed to be a soldier sword?
I'd say, pretty good/mediocre. Sword you'd see in a cheap booth at a con. I personally prefer to make my swords good enough to actually be used. Wooden or not. Considering some people want to do mock battles for photos/vids.

Lol your connection must be effed, the pic showed in 2 seconds for me and I have charter.
-
not really sure what kind of sword it is I guess you can say its a soldier sword lol. I was thinking about using it for a movie prop but its kind of useless because if you hit anything with it the paint will probably get ruined.
-
You can always use it for cosplay. You can cosplay Zack with that kind of sword.
-
not a bad idea

Have you done any other swords? I'd really want to see a buster sword. I want to make one but all attempts I've done has failed. :(

I don't think you'd want a buster sword out of wood. =P Unless you want it just for decoration or whatever, cuz it'd be way too heavy and unbalanced. It's like what, 6 feet long?
Edit: Last I heard Timu was making a buster sword to sell at a convention, if you're interested. Dunno if he's still planning on making a second one but he might.
-
actually I surprisingly have made a buster sword out of wood......

That's a small-ass buster sword. Kinda defeats the purpose.
-
I think it is a little small? Anyways it looks alright. :) I got my inspiration to work on the sword again.
-
That's a small-ass buster sword.
But another big-ass image :P
Apparently, our friend hasn't discovered the joys of imageshack's upload and resizing options. ;D
-
You should paint that buster sword in metal colors. Like it's in advent children. It's gray and got slightly red handle just so you know ;) It's looking really nice...you could probably become a furniture carpenter with some more work. :D
-
Pfff mah gunblade is moar badass. :P
-
Btw I've never seen a sword from other FF like 9 and 10. I guess the buster sword can be considered in FFX since the model is still there.
-
Yeah it would be cool if someone could create the double edged sword from FF9. Maybe too hard though since it has such a complicted design. Would be very hard to create with wood, maybe old milk packages. But still it would be very hard. I like the weapon quina has.
It's a fork :D wonder why no one creates her/his weapon. That would be awesome, if anyone here goes to anime convention can you make a spoon and make a suit that is fat? Then post the image on this forum pls. I would love to see how it looks hihih^^

FF9 sucks, that's why no one bothers to make these weapons.

I have to disagree...I think it was just as good as FF7 and FF8. But we all got our tastes right ^^

FF7 is much better cuz it has cultural diversity (Barret). ^____________^ FF9 only has furries.

FF9 just had a shitty storyline

It had people with tails, and we all know that monkeys are teh stupid

Lord Frieza hates filthy Saiyan monkeys.

Wow many dislikes FF9. I understand since its also my first impression when I first played the game. But I tried playing it again and now I find it funny and side quests are fun rather than following the story like FF8. I also liked it because it is the first final fantasy game that has good graphics which stays with the real final fantasy like black mages, thief, white mage, blue mage, knight/swordsman etc.. *off topic*
-
Uhm, I was just kidding. I like ff9. :P

Monkeys aren't stupid, they are on of the smartest in the animal knigdom and we the humans are very close cousins to them. Some monkeys are stupid yes...but a lot of them are smart. FF9 was a good game, it had it's problems...like some ridiculous characters. Quina, Eiko...but everything else was pretty much perfect. Storyline wasn't cliche like some other games we know. And music and art style was a welcomed suprise after both FF8 and FF7 darker and more serious atmosphere.
You could call FF7 and FF8 almost science fiction, while FF9 went back to the roots of fantasy again.

Monkeys are stupid. You're thinking of Apes.

Er, the storyline to FF9 was pretty cliché. Right from the beginning it starts with some thiefs kidnapping a princess. I've heard that one too many times. :P I'd also say I prefer darker games, like FF6 which I'm playing right now. :)

That's one thing about FF9 that I love, all the references to older FF games. XD I hadn't played them the first time I played FF9 but now that I've pretty much played all the older ones I get all the references in it. :P

Actually, I have a buster sword that I can wield and I'm a pretty skinny guy. It's like almost 6 feet (About 5'7", though the blade's a little flimsy, and made out of steel... I have a hard time swinging it around, but I'm pretty sure someone who works out would be able to wield it (Maybe not like Cloud, but shoot, atleast they'd be able to hold their own I'm guessing). @.@

I think I'll try to make one of the weapons in ff9 but the problem is there isn't any weapon there that is so memorable like the buster sword or gunblade. Any suggestions?
-
I was just going to suggest zidane's ultima weapon but then I came across this.....
(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/581/finalfantasyixultimawea.jpg) (http://img838.imageshack.us/i/finalfantasyixultimawea.jpg/)
So I'm thinking maybe something like Vivi's first weapon the mage staff
-
Where'd you get those images?
-
If your talking about the first two images I took those pictures cause I made the weapons lol but the last one was just on google images

Rofl, when I saw these links I had already known what they are. Actually, I don't know WHY he had such a hard time swinging it around like that. It's not to boast or anything like that, but when I carry mine around, it doesn't seem incredibly heavy on how he claims it is... Maybe I cheat when I use mine, I don't know... =P

probably different metals make a difference. Iron is quite heavy after all.

Hummm... Is there a quoting limit...? Either way, I don't see why you'd make a huge sword out of iron haha... Steel's a little bit more durable, right? o.o;;
That Ultima Weapon from FF9... Is that made out of wood as well, or is it made out of plastic? Or the blades made out of plastic and the "stick" wood?
-
@ Clodus
To be honest I'm not really sure at all what that ones made out but If I had to guess I would say it is plastic and the pole is pvc just because I see the white on the end. This made me think though how sick would it be to made Ultima Weapon from FF7???
-
I actually think they've made an FF7 Ultima Weapon, though it looks a bit messy. It looked pretty awesome, considering haha.
-
any pictures??
