Miniature Bodkin Points

<< < (2/3) > >>

WillS:
They look really good!  What's the diameter of the "socket"? 

jaxenro:
1/8" for a 1/8" shaft at 1:4 scale that would be a1/2" war arrow. I was not sure if I will drill out the socket or drill the shaft for the sprue that goes into the socket. Probably the latter as shafts are a lot cheaper than these points

Next up are some Tudor Bodkins.

I was going to blacken them with brass black but I think I will keep them brass for now. I ordered some small goose feathers and some thin ebony to use in place of horn as a reinforcement for the knocks. Either walnut or beech for the shafts. Beech would be more traditional but walnut with ebony and bronze would look cool

JW_Halverson:
Walnut/ebony/bronze?  Sounds like a description placed on a sculpture at a museum!

To quote B.A. Barracas, "Enough of the jibber-jabber! Now show me whatcha got!"

Danzn Bar:
Wow.....I really like those!  those look like they would work great on some cane.  inserting the spruce into the cane shaft.  keep us updated on the progress... You got my attention.

Call me a geek but I think it would look cool to put all the parts to make an arrow on one sprue, feathers, head, horn etc
