Lifesize Ultima Sword anyone?

Well i was bored and found a few weapon files on my external harddrive. I don't even know if it is the "right" size to be lifesize. I just did it by eye calculation. Such a big model, 153cm to be precise (equals 60 inch), doesn't really fit anywhere in my small room. I am thinking about hanging it on the wall ^^ Please post your comments how you like the model and if i should build it. For those who want to be faster than me; downloadlink below:

1. I haven't tried out if all the flaps are positioned right. If you really think about building the model, check out what you do before you cut the pieces out!

2. There are no inner supports, so if you build it, it will maybe bend at some areas. My tip is to measure the thickness of the hilt cause that is the thickness of the whole sword! Then you can add a long "whatever" at the inside of the whole thing to make it stable.

3. I just printed out one part of the blade and well, it looks very blurry. That happens if you resize a little game sword to a lifesize monster. Hmm vector graphics ftw?

If you find a wrong flap please comment it!

  4. @ Chris Wong: Well the problem is that i am only familiar with FF X and FF X-2 files. I never tried out any things with FF VIII or others. I think there is a way i guess. (there always is) i will try to learn more about getting 3d models of FF VIII. ... Oh and, i don't say that very often to musicians, but the songs on your blog touched me.

  5. Hey, Jouzu, I don't have room or enough paper to build a 153cm sword. Can you make a model that's about 35cm (1 ft) large too? I realize that would be very skinny for a sword (about 6.8cm), but that's not your fault--it's the fault of the designers who built such a skinny sword. :)

  16. In my Opinion I think your idea can be real because I've ever craft a Frostmourne-life sized. The important things is the material and the glue. I use 500gr/m2 paper and super hard glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive). But I mention the glue may be toxic so you have to keep a distance from its odor and invisible smoke. Just like casting weapon :D. The result is impressive hard and sharp :D.

    P/S: Don't swing it to hard.
