progress update on the weapon mounts!!

ok so if you missed the first part, i’ll link it here:

i finally finished the plaques fully! once again, i’ll be a bit overly descriptive for anyone who wants this as a reference.

you may notice that two of the swords aren’t a perfect fit into the plaques. that’s because i modeled the original mockup with only the master sword. i didn’t want to make three different sizes for each weapon. partly out of laziness, and partly because i can swap out the swords if i ever get a new one.

in BotW, the sword plaques are a lot bigger in comparison to link. the size of mine are actually closer in size to the bow plaques. i wanted these to be somewhat portable and fit on my wall. (plus my three swords are roughly the same size so it would’ve been a waste of resources).

i might paint the word “Builders” in Hylian on the bottom slab, matching the Tarrey Town brand in the game.

thank you for showing interest in this project of mine! :D

I’m getting married soon. We are both massive nerds, and we met thanks to Breath of the Wild, so naturally our wedding is low key Zelda themed.

Why am I telling you this? Because LOOK AT WHAT I DIY-ED FOR MY BOUQUET!!!

Before:

After:

No witty comment - I’m just inordinately pleased with how these turned out.

DIY LoZ Sheikah Slate

Thought it's about time I shared the birthday gift I made for my bestie @tsukinoshinjiu! It's a custom Sheikah Slate! So I'm gonna share how I made it... (finished images at the bottom!)

First I started by looking at in-game references for it and getting a general feel of what it looks like, what pieces I'd need, and what the general shape would be like. I wanted it to be a special box of sorts, so they could hide little treasures or letters...

After getting the general feel of the colors and shapes I'd need as well as what would be sunken and what would pop out, I looked for some measurements I could base myself off of. Luckily I found a Reddit post of someone who'd already done the hard work for me.

I tweaked the sizes slightly (namely putting them in a measurement system I could actually understand) then opened up SketchUp to model it out and simulate my rough idea.

I really wanted to stay true to the rounded corners, so I went for a layered technique, using 3 mm wooden slates.

So I created a "base" piece, a "body" piece, and a "lid" piece. In the end, it ended up being 5 body pieces, 1 base, and 1 lid. (And no, I didn't have access to 6 mm wood, otherwise, I'd simply done 2 6mm pieces for the body instead) In total, the depth was roughly 2.2 cm

Once that was ready, I laid out a simple graphic for my cutter. In it you can see the measurements:

Height: 25,33 cm (~10 in.)

Width: 15,33 cm (6 in.)

Depth: 2.2 cm (0.8 in.)

(yes I named it 6mm, I mistyped dw about it) Once that was done, I looked at the front again and opened up Illustrator to make the vector path for the cutter. I had barely used Illustrator before so I had to learn while I was doing it *sweats* but I got it done, and here's what it looks like. I saved it as .eps (vector) so the cutter could read it.

Once that was done, all that was left was to wait for the cutter to be done with my pieces....

Then I immediately started painting and organizing! Decided to start with something small, so I chose the little triangles, I took them apart and painted each piece individually, then with some scotch tape I held them together and put them aside. Next I painted the main piece as well as the lid, body, and base. I glued the layers first then painted them, same with the rest. The handle was especially fun to do and I think it turned out especially pretty. Always working my way up to the smaller colors. Once all those pieces were painted I glued them in place.

The little lines really tested my pulse *sweats again* I don't think they're perfect, but I tried my best (the circle around the eye is especially scuffed)

Not pictured (because I forgor) I made little stops on the bottom of the lid so it could stay in place and be used as a box. I used some thick 2mm hard grey board to make 4 little rounded stops and glued them to the bottom of the lid. When I was done, I sprayed the entire thing in a shiny finisher!

The inside had a special engraving since I'd originally wanted to throw in the Korok Bookmark I'd made for them in there as a surprise, but since this gift had lagged behind for a while, the bookmark was sent ahead of time along with the other goodies I'd prepared for their bday.

Once it was all ready I threw in some other goodies inside and packaged it for the mail! They got it last week and the reaction was...

In the end, the slate arrived a little later than I had wanted, but it got there in one place and the unboxing video I got from them was priceless hehehe.

So yea, that was my adventure making a custom Sheikah Slate as a bday gift! If I eventually remake it, I'll try to make it look even closer to the original.

And if anyone would like to try their hand at making it, go ahead! If there's interest for the files I'll find a way to make them available as well.

Bye bye!

i made these sword wall mounts from Link’s house in BotW! i made three in total to match the three in Link’s Hateno house. the TotK ones are slightly different, featuring a rod to stand the weapon upright, rather that against the wall.*

i’m gonna be overly descriptive here for my own reference, as well as anyone else who would like to make something similar!

here’s the specs:

mount:

h - 44 in // w(top) - 16 in // w(bottom) - 14 in

plaque:

h - 2.5 in // w - 8.5 in

- made from plywood and cut wooden sticks

- bindings used screws, wood glue, and a nail gun

- base colour using spray paint

- border colour using primer paint

- fastened with velcro temporarily

- backside is hung on wall with a wire line

i plan to add Hylian text to the plaques. probably something general rather than a specific weapon name (so i can swap swords between mounts).

also planning to replace the velcro strip with a leather strap and buckle. something adjustable for different sizes. i’ll either use rivets or simply cut two slots in the sides for the leather strap to go through.

all my swords i plan on hanging here are high-density foam/PVC pipe. so far, i have the royal claymore, great flameblade, and master sword. although the first two are larger in game, they are roughly the same size as the master sword seen in the photos. this allows me to make a one-size-fits-most build!

inspired by u/ on reddit and twitter for the inspiration!

*here’s the different versions between games:

it real, i swear

[rotisseries]

have u never come across the texting fanfics / gacha fanfics / edit type scenario ass type videos on yt. i dont think thats statistically possible yt reccomends it to everyone in the 12-15 age grp actually its company policy im correct and know this bc im the ceo of youtube

i think I've probably seen a gacha video or two but I never watched them and they didn't look like fanfic. fanfic adjacent maybe but they seemed more in line with like. a wattpad original story. there was ACTUAL FANFIC ON YOUTUBE?????

Helloooooo

So I decided to do some DIY covers for my phone! Still working on the Splatoon one, but here's some Zelda!

P.S.: the Splatoon one is from the first Splatoon haha

[chriee]

So I didn’t have anything to launch this sucker up the mountain, but what I did have is an engineering degree in building shit bridges.

So I made my monstrosity, glued the Korok to it, then dragged this with me around the mountain.

Now you’re probably wondering “how did he climb a mountain AND drag this beautiful feat of architecture?”  Well let me explain.

This poor Korok nearly drowned 3 times, but you see, I am a master of doing things the hard way.  So here is the secret: Recall.

I moved the device as far as I could, rested it against the mountain if possible.  If it fell, I used Recall, ran to a new spot, then grabbed it with Ultrahand.  Rinse and repeat, easy peasy.
