LMAOP Diggs.

I just love this way this little dude is coming alive in front of my, he starting to look like a little Ninja Ork.

 

[BloodASmedium]

That's a wonderful clever idea and turned ALOT better than I imagined..you Def are a pioneer with super ideas and many many untapped talents..this time you should win...

 

[Teronus]

The swords are awesome bro, haha they should of commission me to paint that hammer head, it still looks like a giant concrete block.

 

[EpicMiniArt]

Cheers guys, I'm going to rotate the left arm down a little so the blade goes below the jaw line. no point in having an ugly face if you are going to hide it lol

 

[EpicMiniArt]

I've reposition the arms so the face is more on show with a more natural fighting pose. Just got some scabbards to fashion out of GS and then its ready for paint

 

[Teronus]

Ork uses scabbards? I tough they would just slide them blades inside a belt or something.

 

[EpicMiniArt]

This is my own kind of ork, not really following any kind of lore but a scabbard doesn't always go the full length of the sword. I was thinking along the lines of this, but more primitive

if hes lucky he might even get a tricorn hat when hes painted but I haven't decided on that yet

 

[Digganob]

He looks like he is sharpening cooking knives and going to prep some humies for the slaughter

Pop Rivet Sword blades, Mini Tutorial.

Some basic tools are required for this.
Hammer. You will need a heavy hammer (I had a sledge hammer but that is slightly overkill)
Sometime to hold the pop rivet. (I used mole grips for this)
A hard flat metal surface. (I used an anvil)
Something to grind the metal. (I used a bench grinder, but you could use a dremmel or even hand file it, but the bench grinder is by far the fastest method)
To finish the sword off.
Saw
Hand files or dremmel
Sand paper to polish it, if needed.

So basically we use the hammer to beat the crap out of the rivet. (if you are using a harder metal like that for a nail, you might have to heat the nail up to its malleable)

You should have something like (normally I would beat it more, but this will do for demo)

Over to the bench grinder.

This is where you shape the blade into what shape you want and start putting the cutting edges on.

This is where you are finished and the sword blade is ready for finishing.

At this point you can refine the sword more using handtools and polish it using sand paper if desired. You can cut the blade at the base and make a handle for it using whatever you fancy. but that is the basics of it.

When I get around to it I will do something more in-depth and make a complete weapon from start to finish.

 

[Digganob]

You have quiet literally made an ork choppa. You have the heart of an ork in you bud. That's just Frelling awesome.

 

[Maenas]

I would have hammered my finger and sanded my hand.... Pretty nice sculpt job, I like the pose a lot, it looks like if he will start a fight in a moment.

....and that would be just NUTSO!!

NUTSOFF maybe? lololol

 

[BloodASmedium]

[EpicMiniArt]
