Ephemeral Reader Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I came across this YouTube video whilst looking up Polybian military tactics of the Roman Republic, it's awesome! I remember hearing something about the show-runners having trouble finding someone with the know-how to make a sword that was pale as milk-glass without using paint. (George R.R. Martin dislikes paint) Someone should tell them about this guy! With season 6 already filming it is probably too late, but I think he fulfills at least one more category for making a real Dawn than expected. Forged from a fallen star? Pale as milk glass? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_PS2l31EhM 'nuff said.(Skip to: https://youtu.be/K_PS2l31EhM?t=1250 to see the finished product.)

Vastet Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 About halfway through that video I began wondering just how long this was taking. 3 freaking months holy ****. Imagine how much longer it would take a thousand years ago without the machine assistance. This guy is awesome, this video is awesome, this sword is awesome. Almost makes me want to look into becoming a smith. Sadly the heat and I really don't get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
