The shield and sword weapon, obtained in the new DLC for Dark Souls 3 has been my favorite weapon for a while now and I couldn't wait to bring it to life. The sword was made in Solidworks. The shield was made using Solidworks, Meshmixer, and Autodesk Netfabb.  

Bill of Materials:

• 25" long 1/4" metal rod

  • Post process and paint 
  • Wrap the handle in the brown cloth

  • Using the connectors to line up the pieces assemble the pieces in rows and glue into place

  • Loosely wrap a piece of cloth around the two loops on the back of the shield
  • Wrap the handle in the brown cloth
