Use low grit sandpaper moving to higher grit with each application. Multiple applications of body filler, with sanding in between layers, is easier than one heavy layer, requiring lots of heavy sanding to achieve the proper bevel shape. Super glue bonds extremely well to styrene, and the body filler will bond better to the super glue. Heavily coating the styrene with super glue first is recommended, as the body filler doesn't like to bond to the styrene surface. These strips were tapered as necessary to match the outer edge of the blade.īondo body filler was used to fill in all of the gaps that create the beveled edge of the blade. Strips of styrene, the thickness of the MDF were cut, and adhered to the outer bevel styrene piece, with super glue. I did the same thing with the other piece of MDF on the opposite side of the styrene. I removed the MDF, applied epoxy adhesive where it was positioned, then set it back in place and clamped it down till the adhesive cured. One piece of MDF was properly positioned into place on top of the cut out piece of styrene and traced around. On my piece of styrene, I traced the outer bevel template. I cut these shapes out of the MDF using a scroll saw. On my piece of MDF, I traced the inner bevel template twice. Please read through to the end, and vote if you find it worthy.

The tools I used to fabricate these pieces were : Polyurethane/silicone (only necessary if you want two blades) The fabrication of these pieces uses the following materials :ġ/16" Polystyrene Plastic (will be referred to as styrene)Ĭyanoacrylate (will be referred to as super glue) There are other blades from the "God of War" video game series, but none with the character that this one has.
While looking through random internet images for a weapon to replicate, I discovered the "Blades of Exile" from "God of War III", and I fell in love. I once wanted something new to build, a weapon from a video game.
