Howdy, Loving those weapon minis! Tutorial? I used part of a manilla folder...Draw some shapes...The weapons will need three layers(not counting the hammer and mace)... the shields two layers... The Second/Third layers are generally slightly smaller than the center or bottom layer...Cut them out... glue the layers with pvc... coat the hafts with hotglue...add any hilts...use a small offcut...start a hole with pin or needle...widen as needed with toothpick...glue in place... Undercoat the lot... Paint to suit... I think the knife and handaxe are too hard as they are so small...I tried some with curved over hand guards this time...I like the katana, scimitar and cutlass. The mace head is made of 6 small circles all half glued to the next...difficult for me... I probably would not make the hammer head of layers next time...find some other way... Craftify, Kev!

This is awesome, and will probably be used in a project I'm brainstorming right now. Thanks!

I think I'll need glasses before I could make any of those. Very nice work indeed.
