Just saw this thread, those metal weapons are awesome.

thanks Imperialofficer21 ! I pushed myself on the knight swords, and I think it paid off, it could have easily went bad and just ended up with scrap!

I just now realized that you made those swords, those look awesom!

thanks! there are many threds around here somewhere back over the 4-5 yrs since I made my first crude nail knife. also if you click the "customs" button at the bottom of my posts you can see everything I've put in the gallery.

I pressed pause on my fantasy project to make my cc13 stuff, but I've been tinkering some.

my wips pile


here is my wizard along with my version of a certain princess


MU shanna w/corps head. custom brass crown, shackles, and custom staff w/bfs cobra. her collar is cut off an imaginext piece and her belt is cut off a MU? skirt.




no more work on the wizard yet. this staff is a spawn? piece with the neck ball off a spawn? figure. i'll probably paint it some.

I made this staff after trying to add the cobra head and messing it up. unknown staff w/neck ball from a skull. I think it's going with a different custom.

this one is too large for him to hold. it's a marble glued to a bone off a Halloween critter.

my knights! pictured here with their plague swords new additions are the black knights sword and the white knight and sword.


a closer look at the white knight. custom brass and copper helm and custom brass sword (both plated gold)

a shot of the four plague swords

the black knight will also wield this war hammer. I had made it some time ago and just added some heat shrink to fit his hand better.


two of by baddies got metal axes also made some time ago. one is aluminum and the others blade is cut from a quarter. heat shrink was added but I wanted them to look weathered so over that I used plastic coffee straws and burnt them up some w/lighter. pigface got some bone shoulder pads cut from a Halloween rat (ears)

my African warrior got a spawn? spear and a shield made from the "screw cover" of an imaginext t-rex.

I cannot get over how awesome your custom swords look. Do you ever sell any?

thanks ImperialOfficer21! I think I sold a couple brass swords that i cast then I finished out. I've done a couple scratch built commissioned knives and spears. right now i'm in a transition that puts me in a position without access to all the tools I used to make these swords. i'm not sure what i'll be able to make in the future, and that's been a real motivation to get these made. I do have a small amount of custom blades that i've made in the past few years that you might be interested in. if so pm me with what you are looking for and i'll see what I could come up with.

today I took a couple of the starwars figures I got from DT and added a couple miscasts I got in an ebay lot awhile back. i'm calling these the royal guard of the dragon queen, and I could use a couple more I plan on some paint to the bodies as well. right now the heads have a dark red cote w/white highlights and a black wash. then clear spray to seal them as paint rubs off the casts really easy (not terrible as it just looks like bone). spike balls are from kiss figure mace w/real chain and twisted wire handles covered in heatshrink and topped with spear points from McFarlane?

I had to go back and look at ImperialOfficer21's fantasy thred and look again, as I thought this was the same base he used. it wasn't and his figure is way nicer articulation. his was very much in my mind when I got the idea to make these
