ICO Cosplay - The Queen's Sword

Description

November 2012 - ICO cosplay, round 2... with a rather incredible addition to the costume! The Queen's Sword is amazing enough in-game, but actually picking it up and holding it is another thing altogether... still working on the glowing-magic bit though.

ABOUT THE SWORD:
- It is 165cm long, not counting the chain.
- It is entirely self-made (with help and lots of advice from my dad) from layers of 3mm MDF wood glued together and filed into shape.
- I didn't track how long it took me, but certainly well over 100 hours. Perhaps over 200.
- The symbols are all individually cut out - the blue parts of the blade are a layer thicker than the grey 'background' layer.
- I couldn't find plastic chain in the right size, so the chain is also self-made from MDF - three layers per link, slotted together before gluing. One of those insane ideas...
- It's painted with house paint. I picked out the colours and bought a sample pot of the ones I wanted to use - it seemed the easiest way of getting a good amount of paint in a specific shade.
*** THE PATTERN IS NOT 100% ACCURATE. Well, the symbols are correct but because I mis-measured and made the blade a bit longer than it should have been, I had to stretch it out a bit.

I'll put together a more informative 'details/process' thing for the sword later. For now, just enjoy the pretty pictures. :)
