Title: Game of Thrones Replica Swords
Post by: jazzycat on 06/06/2012, 04:08 PM
Sooo... to splash out or not on my first sword? US$170...

I haven't even read the books yet! Waiting for the series to finish so I can tear right through from start-to-finish.

...but after finding out that it's made from high-carbon steel and therefore, high-maintenance, ergh. But dammit, the simplicity of the design and the measurements suit me perfectly!  :'(

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IT CHECKS OUT.. it should be a decent purchase for display purposes especially at that price. but, shipping is going to kill this for you. sorry thats just the way it is.

Yeah, the shipping is steep as shit. Display and COSPLAY purposes, if I ever do that shit again some day. I'll talk with you some more about it tomorrow if I'm not swamped with work again... =_=

Lol, oh if only! No, I have never cosplayed as a TF2 Medic - she's not only taller than me, but her boobs are bigger...

I've cosplayed Lei Fang (DOA3), Chun Li (Streetfighters) and Miyuki (You're Under Arrest anime)...

This has gone so bloody off-topic... lol.

But yeah, will look into local and NZ sources for weaponry.

It just occurred to me too, if I'm going to be dropping AUS$200 on a weapon for display/fun, might's well get a damn lightsaber (http://www.parksabers.com/phaeton.html)...

I'm guessing it was at a convention, if so; I guarantee it's on the net.
look hard enough, you'll find it.
