This is all done to taste, i went with a weathered look as the handle i got was a used item so was scuffed so it wouldn't right to have a clean new body and a used handle so i scuffed up the body. Once all the weathering has dried get some very bright Red paints and paint some bloody splashes and stains. on mine there was damage sustained to the top of the body under the top handle so i added some rust to it. This is also a great way to cover up any imperfections that may have been missed. this will give it a worn look, then over dry brush some light and dark browns to make it look dirty and rusty. When all the glue has dried its time to weather and get bloody.Īcrylic paint is used to weather the body of the saw,ĭry brush some silver paint onto the high points and corners of the saw. Once the body is the right shape and fits in the handle take a retractable snap off blade and extend it out (be careful when handling blades.) and trim the corners of the foam so there is a chamfer around the blocks (see the fourth and fifth photo) Once this is done make sure there is a way to insert an L bracket to secure the blade to the bottom of the handle.Īlways check that the body will fit inside the handle easily. use either the template you drew up for the blade or don't glue this side panel on until the blade has been made then check it fits. the blade needs to be inserted after the body is completely finished so make sure the blade will fit. Make sure that the side that holds the blade has a cavity cut into it the size of the base of the blade you are going to make. Then place it inside the handle to make sure it fits.īecause the blue foam i used was quite thick i had to draw out the outside sections and then cut them in half to get the correct thickness's.Ĭreate these sections the same way you made the middle section. Then sand the edges to the size of the template. or cut out the template on many layers of foam then sticking them together (it depends on how long the blade you are using is) (and how confident you are) Start by making the middle section of the body by either by sticking the blue foam to get the correct thickness then cutting out the outline from the plans you made.
