of course you'd have to be at least 6'10" to carry it comfortably...using it must be a bitch if your centre of gravity isn't just right...

nah... is really light, knowing that a sword that big could cause a problem, I just attacked the weight problem directly.

Now what is sintra?

*Turi80 Nov 9, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

sintra is also known as expanded pvc foam. is a plastic, it comes in sheets. easy to shape, you can heat form (safely) and well... since its a plastic it takes paint really well. I substitute wood with sintra when i can.

I have to see it I can get that here. On one of my projects I used crafters foam. [link]
