So I finished it in time for the expo, and even got the scabbard mostly done. I even got a brown belt and guitar strap for carrying it around with.

All done in time for the Expo last Saturday, which was amazing.

I didn't have enough time to do all the detail on the scabbard, but I got most of it done. I plan on doing the rest of it over the next few weeks, so expect a totally finished sword and scabbard soon.

I also took lots of photos as I progressed through this make so I plan on making a tutorial soon for anyone who's interested. I'm planning on doing it on instructables.com and posting a deviation showing it off as instructables will make it easier to show step by step instructions which will be easily managable.

Comments and critiques are all welcome, enjoy.

Wonderful sword and wonderful tutorial! I have been following it roughly in making my own Master Sword.
Question... I see that you made the sheath out of wood, but then did you just paint it blue?
And what did you use to make the yellow designs?
I see you have a buckle that loops around the sheath to the back, how did you attach it to the belt?
Lastly, would it be possible to get a close up picture of the design you drew out for the sheath?

Ok I'll shut up now :)

Thanks!

The sheath has some raised detailing, which was achieved by glueing on some shaped pieces of thin wood. Then the body was painted blue and the detailing painted gold.

At the top of the sheath I used a brown belt to attached it to the strap which goes over the shoulder. This is held in place by two ear pieces of wood on the sides. These where held in with screws and glue, they have to be really secure as they stop the beld from slipping down and effectively take the weight of the sheath and sword when combined.

I'll see if I can take better pics of the sheath.

Thank you very much for the information but don't worry about taking more pictures ;) I actually finished my sword and sheath months ago, for a con in April. But thank you for the info it would have been very helpful!
