Super Smash Bros Brawl: Marth's Sword 2
I was commissioned to make another Marth sword and scabbard from the video game Super Smash Bros Brawl. You can see the original build
HERE. Having done it before, I was able to make a few refinements.

Instead of vacforming a shell over the pommel, I decided to build the bands from strips of styrene.

I made the guard a bit thinner than before so that the "arms" had a more pleasing edge

The scabbard end cap was made from thick styrene with holes cut into it.

Sides were added to make a box. The holes were backed with a very thin styrene.

I wanted to make the design on the scabbard with more relief so I made a master from thicker styrene and used scrapbooking brads for the rivets

I made a mold of the master.

I then cast copies of the master out of resin to be glued to the scabbard. The one on the left is the copy.

The painted design.

I painted the belt loop to match the surrounding details so that it would blend in.

The final end cap. It is painted a slightly more yellow version of gold.
