The Sword of Power & Sword of Protection

pinshape

I always coveted the He-Man sword when I was younger. Now that I have the power to make it a reality, I can finally model it! Then I thought, why not create a She-Ra sword too? Absolutely! The coolest princess ever deserves one. My trusty printer can handle the task with ease. All I need to do is whip up the model, slice it up a bit, and print it out! After countless hours of tinkering, these are the models I came up with. I chose the original designs from the cartoon for authenticity's sake. Sure, the new version looks pretty sweet, but the old versions hold a special nostalgic charm. After printing and assembling the swords, they measure around 27 inches long each. Photos were taken before gluing them together yet. The She-Ra sword exhibited minimal warping during the process. I have the power now - you can too! I'm excited to see all the amazing creations that will come out of this! UPDATE 11/8/2013: By popular demand, I added merged versions of each sword at a scale of 5 inches in length. You can easily scale them up or down as desired. Previews of the mini models with Thingiview are also available for your viewing pleasure.
