Part 2: Building the Witch-King Sword - Painting and Weathering
Welcome to Part 3 of my 18-video series documenting the creation of my Witch-King cosplay! In this video, we bring the iconic sword to life with paint and finishing touches. Watch as I:
• Prime the surface for smooth, even paint coverage
• Layer base colors to achieve a realistic metal look
• Add weathering effects for that battle-worn aesthetic
• Highlight fine details to make the sword truly stand out
This is where the magic happens, as the sword transforms from a raw prop to a piece worthy of the Witch-King himself! Whether you're a cosplayer, a prop-making enthusiast, or a Lord of the Rings fan, this video is packed with techniques you can use in your own projects.
🎥 Stay tuned for Part 4, where I’ll start crafting more components of this epic cosplay.
