Ours is actually just a half inch thick length of pine wood that you can pick up from your local hardware store, like Lowes or Home Depot. To get the point and blade edges, 5t4rw1nd87 actually sanded it by hand with some heavy grit paper on a block. It took a lot of effort and about an hour all told. There are other alternatives to this if you would prefer not to have a very sore arm. The most efficient is to find someone with a belt sander, or barring that you could cut a rough edge and then sand it smooth. Either should be considerably easier than what he chose to do.
The mouth can be tricky. If you want it to be 3D, you can use an air dry clay. You will want to reinforce the tongue if you go this route, so that it doesn't just break from a small hit. Ours is actually a small wire frame with some plaster wrap around it to give the shape and clay build up to fill it in. The lips and teeth are simply more air dry clay. Make sure to glue the mouth on with something strong, I believe we used hot glue.
For the straps below the mouth, a roll of gauze works wonderfully. Alternatively you can use more plaster wrap, both of them with give you the correct texture. You can use many things for the tabs, including furniture nail heads or small thumb tacks.
The guard and pommel are just more clay work. We wrapped the handle with gauze and secured it on the ends. Then all that is left is the paint!
I cannot stress this enough, after having seen other attempts at Ragnarok. Please use painter's tape or some alternative to paint the white line down the blade. It will give you the crisp lines and keep it straight.
I hope all of this helps, and would love to see your work when complete! If you have any further questions, please ask away.
What materials did you used to do the sword?
Thanks for the comment!
