Cannot believe i'm back to making swords what is this sorcery

the absolute clownf*ckery i'm going through to make him real is amazing. Honedge is canonically 80cm tall, so I blew up an image of him onto a grid and then scaled it to real size on a screen, taped a whole bunch of newspaper to it and traced.

don't know how clear it is in the photos, but i'm making him in two sections; the blade and the guard. honedge is supposed to be able to unsheathe , which raises complication for the eyeball. I want the guard to fit perfectly over the eye, but I also want a little bit of a bubble when making it. So far I have a plan for every single material for the blade without having to buy anything fancy like metallic spray paint(its so fun to use but expensive).

Duct tape metal it is.
