Recently I was lucky enough to pick up Conan's 1993 plastic chromed armour for a few pence.
It was in a carrier bag containing his armoured horse, which I blogged last week.
Hoping to complete the horse and rider, I've dropped on a bargain Conan figure, which is battling it's way to me through the postal system as we speak. I think he even has pull-string swinging arm action!
The one thing I'm still missing is his sword. The above example is an auction shot.
How would you go about replacing the sword cheaply?

Update:
Taking up Kev's clever lolly stick idea I knocked up this prop sword ready for Conan's arrival and a few shots of him swinging his blade on his rearing charger.
Really cheaply? Carve it from a lolly stick and cover it in aluminium tape or use a chrome pen.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I reckon your on a winner there Kev!

DeleteWow! That's a pretty good sword Woodsy.

Hey thanks Looey! It lasted one pho shoot and the grip fell off!
