Make the RingWraith Sword from Lord of the Rings - Also known as the Nazgul sword
This is a tutorial on how to make the Ring Wraith sword from lord of the rings. I also give you the template which makes it easy for you to make. You just need a few basic supplies.
If you came here from youtube thanks! Give me a little bit of time to finish this tutorial.
Print up the template and tape together the pieces as shown in the instructions.
Place those pieces on your foamboard or cardboard and trace them.
Take note in the instructions as to how many of each to trace. For example you make eight of the little shark teeth.
Cut out those foam board pieces.
The sword blade sections have a wonderful diamond shape fold to them. This adds a lot of strength and makes the sword look very realistic. We are going to create this shape before gluing the sword pieces together.
But lets take a look at how these pieces will be assembled so you can gain an understanding. It is a long sword and we have to make it out of multiple pieces of foam board.
These two pieces are made from the template (7,8,9,10) and (11,12,13)
Then this two piece segment goes right on top of that. It is made up of (1,2,3 and 4,5,6)
Then a handle piece would go on it just like this. And another handle piece on the underneath side.
A couple of quick notes about this prooject. It has some unique techniques that I will show you.
First off we use foamboard in a new way (diamond shaped) to give it strength.
And we use a readily available product called plasti-dip. People normally use it to dip the handles of pliers and screwdrives. It creates a rubbery plastic like handle. Quite neat product and cheap.
