Skyrim Daedric Sword Test Build
Ok, so for the last few weeks I’ve been playing Skyrim,… non stop. (level 73 as of this posting) Finally gotten to the point that I can tear myself away from the game long enough to actually start making something. Here is the first “Skyrim” project in the works, a Daedric Sword. Started on this today and got everything shown in the first video done in about 4 hours time. I should have the 2nd half of the build finished tomorrow and will be putting together the video for that soon after. Most of the tools, materials and techniques I’m showing are the same ones I used to make all the Mass Effect stuff.
PART 2:
Test version of the Skyrim Daedric sword made in EVA foam finished in just under 2 days. A bit of a rush job, admittedly. I cut a lot of corners and took a few liberty’s with the design, slapped some paint on it with a brush (no airbrush) and called it finished. After all it was just a trial build to figure out how I will be making the swords to go with my armor later this year. After making this I now have several ideas on how to improve the final prop, which should go much faster and look a lot nicer.
Let the gaming now resume! .. er,.. I mean the costume research!
Pretty promising so far man! I’ve still got a bunch of foam tucked under my bed that I was going to use for a bigger project but I think I might do something like a sword soon because it’s so much quicker. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

I want to thank you for posting some videos further explaining your methods. I’ve been dieing for a little bit of better explanation. I’m finally venturing into my first cosplay using yours and a few other crafter’s methods.

I plan to fully document the upcoming Skyrim Daedric Armor builds in video format, which should show many more tips and tricks of how I work with the EVA foam.

Wonderful. I can’t wait to see them. I’m starting a cosplay of Cyborg Ninja from the first Metal Gear Solid, and I feel that the methods you use can easily be adapted to work for my suit.

How long’s the overall length of the sword?

Well, if you had watched the videos on the making you wouldn’t be asking this question,.. but I’ll answer it anyway. about 35 inches long.
