Haha yeah I think I understand what you mean now. Thanks for that tiny little image you typed out haha ^.^

ok no clue why the links don't work. they always used to work in the past. >_< anyways you can go to www . bluelionheart . com and look at all of my stuff. At least, all of my stuff that is currently online. And that's really a broad question and nearly impossible to answer because I've made a Green Lantern ring that took a couple hours, and then the Ark of the Covenant that took months... A gunblade takes about a week since I have the pattern figured out now, but since I don't have very good health it becomes harder and harder to make big props these days.

Oh thank you ^ ^ The links however don't work... I think they're just the [link] text and not the URL? Out of curiosity, how long does it take you to make a piece, on average?

Thank you very much for the kind words. Hyperion is one gunblade that I rarely make simply because of the complex shape of the blade. I DO make them for commission, however. They are $500, and that price includes shipping and handling. I don't demand it all up front, though. My clients are required to pay half up front as a non-refundable deposit, and then the second half is due upon completion of the prop before it can be shipped.

As for the finished side panelling on the Revolver...let me check...

here you go. You can view all my work with a lot more images of each prop here at [link]. Thank you and have a great day!

The hilt is the small part at the base of the blade with the dark grey background and the "wings" pattern on it. That dark grey section is the part that has the reinforced dense wood on it.

Blade Hilt Handle

oooh you do beautiful work! I've been looking up reference pictures for the Griever etching on Squall's blade, and by far you have one of the best You wouldn't happen to have a sketch or picture of it from a front on view would you, especially after it's been painted? I saw the one you had of it carved out in the making of the gunblade, and the finished product, but the image isn't big enough to get any detail really


If you don't, don't sweat it, but if you do, I'd really appreciate seeing it!

Also, do you take commissions at all? I have a friend who cosplays Seifer and he's looking for a wooden hyperion since most cons ban carrying around weapons or those made of sttel


Thanks bunches, and beautiful, beautiful work!

Haha yeah I know what you mean mate ^,^ Don't worry about the diagram anyways.

So the whole of that part with all the nice design on it is the hilt and thats the bit thats made out of a dense/red wood. I was getting abit confused with what you meant by hilt but I understand now. So the whole big part is all a much more dense wood I guess.

The hilt is where the handle meets the blade. IE. The part with all the details on it. I can give little tips here and there, but I can't really start drawing designs and diagrams. I promise that I am not trying to be rude, but this is kinda my business, so if I give people instructions on how to build their own, it kinda puts me out of business. ^_^

I'm a little confused with what you mean by hilt because i know it means handle. It may sound cheeky asking but isit possible you could spare 5 minutes and draw a very short diagram as its a little confusing. By hilt do you meanthe part where theres all the detail? But if you could draw or even do something on paint so I have an idea of how to do it I would be so appreciative.

That was actually a problem that I faced when I made the sword. I had a feeling that once it was all put together that the handle would snap the sword down the length of the blade. So what I did was go to a specialty woodcraft store. Here in the US we have a store actually CALLED "WoodCraft" and it's a block from my house. I got a small piece of rEEEally dense wood. I think it was Cherry or Oak or something. I remember that it was a dark reddish color. Anyway, I cut out panels to glue over the hilt with the grain going left and right instead of up and down like the blade. That added a TON of strength to the hilt so that when I drilled the hole for the handle, which was actually only as deep as the hilt itself (about 2 inches) it took all the pressure of the weight of the sword and kept it nice and secure, thus no chance of a break. I HAD a diagram of the sword, but I can't remember what I did with it or where I put it. I just remember that the sword with the handle and the cap on the end of the handle was about 6 feet long. I hope that helps you.

Hiya, I just wanted to ask about the buster sword you made. im sure everyone is wondering as it is a beautiful sword.

I was just wondering though as I'm making one myself, how did you go attatching the handle to the blade? I may sound cheeky but have you got anything like design/blue-prints for it. I'm just worried that when I make it the handle will snap because it won't go in far enough because of the two holes that are on the actual blade.

If you coulod help out I would appreciate it so much.

Ouch T.T
Im making one out of solid wood to mount on my wall xD

About $500 plus shipping. It's actually a very complicated sword to make.

hey, how much would it cost to get the Crisis core buster blade commisioned?

um....Ooohkay? o_O

hi i like cheese

like there is no tomorrow cuz eventually you'll be right!~~~~~``

Awww X3 you're welcome! lol

Lol, yes. What i've noticed alot at the moment is that the BBC is REALLY going down hill- it's no longer listening to the viewers. Channels like ITV and Channel four and five are gaining more ratings and such 'cause they're listening to the veiwers. There has been a demand for better shows and more add on episodes, but BBC aren't listening. While in other channels departments they are listening to people, heck channel four have made a few series of alot of their programs 'cause of how people are hooked. the BBC is being silly ._.; they need a kick up the bum really lol.

I don't mind detail. Thank you very much for saying that. ^_^ About my work I mean. hehe

But I understand what the BBC thinks seeing as how for SOOO many years Doctor Who was good, but yet bad at the same time. It was so hit-or-miss that the only real fans were just those die-hard nerdy types (I used to watch it late at night when it came on in the 80's and I was supposed to be in bed asleep because school was in the morning ^^) BBC has gotten SOOO liberal and trashy these days....Doctor Who is one of the only really wholesome shows left on the network. Torchwood ended up being so offensive to the senses that, even though I still watch it, I'm practically covering my eyes through every scene. >_- They are trying SOOOO hard to gain shock value that the series lost any real credibility as a decent spin-off from Doctor Who. And I really liked Captain Jack too.

Really? I can't beileve you don't get many new watchers. People are REALLY missing out. It's a shame that they fav and don't watch, personly I can't wait to see your next peice of art work! X3

Thanks! X3
yeah, I agree with Doctor Who, it's a downer about it .___. but the BBC aren't wanting to invest too much money into Doctor Who anymore, [which I find rather odd ._.;] But I won't go into detail about that XD It'll get werid XP

Not at all. Thank you very much. I appreciate the support. I don't get new watchers very often. People are constantly favoriting my stuff, but no one ever watches my new work, so I really appreciate it.

Plus, you are British! Therefore you are automatically nifty! ^^ Doctor Who is my favoritest show ever! hehe I just wish they came out with more than 14 episodes a year.
