Real life buster sword
« on: 2010-06-03 16:21:07 »
I've been googling and searching videos from youtube how to make a buster sword but I can't seem to find one video that is good. Anyone know of some site??

I remember seeing one where someone made a really really good one out of wood. Lemmie see if I can find that again...
I think this was it.

I saw that one before too but I saw someone really made a buster sword that really looks good in youtube. It looks just like the same as the original. Thanks anyway man. :)

When I went to Victorville CA I went to a midevil weapons shop that had them in the most perfect awesome condition you have ever seen. Maybe cost like 20 dollars and was life size and wood with a finish that looked real, and the porportions were correct. He prolly still has some and it wouldnt be hard to call the man.

So you can buy it from him?? Well even if you could and I want to buy it I do believe I cannot do this since I live in the Philippines.

Instead of buying I'd rather do it myself. Got some tools in the garage and I'll start working. Damn man I hope it turns out good. :-\

Thanks for that. I have some ideas on doing the buster sword but I don't know how to make the texture to make it look metal like the real buster sword. :)

This site  :D
I had a friend that bought a sword from FFX from this site to use in his wedding.
That was a really crazy wedding. Course, he and his wife are already divorced... So maybe, don't use a sword from Final Fantasy in your ceremony... If you're considering it...
