lifesize metal keyblade

[hms]

Okay here's the thing for a while now I've had this desire to make (or have made) an exact lifesize metal keyblade replica but I need to how and I also need to what size each part of the keyblade will be, how long they will be (mainly the shaft or whatever), and how thick they will be so that way it will be an EXACT replica so do you think you guys can help me out please?

What forum do you think you're at?

We may be a Sonic-centric forum, but a lot of KH nuts go here. Hell we had a Sora.wad in 1094, that should be enough reason to consider this a good place to ask.

Which is exactly why I came here to ask.

Find a model of Sora somewhere and pretend he's your height. Then look at the Keyblade and look at that from all angles. You'll also need that chain on the handle. But how you'll be able to carve the metal, I have NO idea.

Ok, you like the keyblade, and plan to make a metal version of it, but what then? what are you suppoused to do with it? It´s not like you can cut much with a spherical blade.

Don´t get me wrong, I just don´t want y´a to end like my japanese friend right here:

I remember Darkness Claw making a lifesize wooden one out of a broom. :/
You would be best asking him, but he doesn't really visit the MB anymore. So, yeah.

Dude! That is weird...but I HAD to show it to my ex-girlfriend. She's a HUGE KH and anime fan.

You do realize how heavy something like that would be, correct? Even aluminum would be pretty heavy at that size, never mind a cheaper, more practical to obtain and work one. Also, actually forging something like that out of real metal would likely be rather prohibitively expensive. There is a reason people make these kinds of props out of piping and cardboard.

Now, trying to be helpful in the topic, here´s a video of the most accurate replica I found, pretty amusing, actually, but the chain´s got to be a problem when swinging it. I´d prefer been hit with the blade than with the chain.

I haven't really played Kingdom Hearts much, but here are some references you can use.

Love the work they did, but really... what a waste of savings and a pay check for fandom -shrug-

Keyblades, eh? Well, I've got no idea on how to go about a metal one, but if you can settle for wood, then I may be able to help you. Here's a picture of the one I made years ago.

Hahaha, and you all thought I was dead, didn't you?

No one really dies in SRB2 Mb... They just go away for awhile... Or lurk :p

Anyway nice to see you again Darkness Claw :D
