Old Metal?

These are a couple of the blades I made when I was just setting out into the world of Blacksmithing. A sword forged from a plough blade, with a full tang and antler handle. A knife made for my father using the Saami method or mounting disks of antler, decorative wood, and leather washers onto a full tang that is riveted over on the end.

I wanted to try my hand at scratch building on a project I could do in a few hours. So I picked a building that had a simple structure and a rough texture with some simple weathering. A friend of mine who is a Games Workshop hobbyist wanted to have the model when it was finished so I worked to a 28mm heroic scale. Each layer is made from flat section of foam, the block look was made by sticking down section of card and letting the gaps between them look like mortar joins. The texture was achieved by simply mixing dirt and grit with some acrylic and painting on a few thin layers as a base coat.
