Another Tenchi-Ken prop

[Djinntaco]

This section seems to have little life so I thought I might add some pics of a project I did a few years ago. I had wanted to make a replica of the master key for several years before but it took a while before I just decided to go do it. The whole thing is carved from poplar with satin finish. I really wanted to make it out of wood to get the authentic look since a lot of people were using clay, resin or some other plastic. I basically learned how to carve wood with this project. The wood grain markings on the end I carved in with a fine point wood burner (looked at a lot of various pics before I found the correct pattern) and with only 3 plastic gems on one side. I left the other side plain to simulate the master key before it had the gems added. I had a decent top for it made from pewter but it was dropped and broken in the making process so I had to go back and make a separate piece out of wood as well. Only that I added a few layers of lacquer and paint to remove the wood grain look from it.






After this I wanted to make Ayeka's headdress but I never did find any useful pics of it so that project never even got off the ground.

  Are you still working on such props?

[Harls]

Great work!

Vasima we need a step by step of this prop creation on the Wikia m8

By the way, the wood grain inlay on the pommel / kashira is really slick.

I hope that you are kidding. We shouldn't place any fan-creations in the wiki.

[WaitoKon]

Not in the main index, but perhaps under Community : Fan Creations if such a thread was made.

[antvasima]

My apologies, but only canon material should be placed in the wiki pages.

[WaitoKon]

This is a good point, we have much more work to do on the existing pages

[antvasima]

Yes, but I am already very overworked on the other wiki that I am a bureaucrat for.

I promoted AstroNerdBoy to an administrator a while back, but unfortunately he hasn't had the time to help out yet.

[WaitoKon]

You focus on that however much you need m8, I'll let you know if the Tenchi Wikia experiences any trouble.

Okay. Thanks.
