I wanted to share this one with you guys and gals. We needed a couple Egyptian sickle swords, quickly, for the SpookyWoods commercial that Elswarro came out to shoot. Tony went out and picked up a 4X8 sheet of PVC Foam Board. If I remember it something like $88. I sketched the swords out in white chalk and used a jig saw to cut them out. I traced the handles out, cut two pieces to match and glued them to each side with PVC Cement. I used a grinder to grind the edges and round the handles down. I didn't have any plastic primer so I used some heavy grit sand paper and sanded the entire sword so the brown primer that I did have would grab. I primed the entire sword, taped off the handle and painted the blade silver. I lightly hit the outer part of the flat of the blade with black spray paint then sprayed a Q-tip with silver, repeatedly, and ran it over the sharp of the blade. Lastly I took the same heavy grit sand paper and lightly scuffed the blade to show some of the brown primer and black of the board to just age it a little. Long winded, sorry......
