Awsome! Not so sure about that longsword. It looks faintly play-mobile-ish, but everything else..thumbs up!

That's possibly more due to the type of plastic that was used to inject that particular accessory. When he's making prototypes, Will tends to use whatever plastic he has laying around. With that item, my guess is it's a mix of black ABS plastic and silver "Bionicle" plastic, which is more flexible, not nearly as shiny as ABS, and doesn't hold detail all that well.Chaotic Good wrote:Not so sure about that longsword.

Maybe. Depends on how these first few historical edged items do! If you like what you've seen thus far, show your support by buying a few when they're released!lord azreal wrote:will we ever see 2 handers or 1 1/2 handers?
That explains it! And thank goodness anyway. To be honest, I was actually worried that it would look like that finished off. Now I know it isn't, I think I'll buy some.

Just a quick note -- the 'longsword' IS a "1-1/2 hander." Hence the term 'longsword' - which is, in current academic conversation, a term designated to hand-and-a-half swords.will we ever see 2 handers or 1 1/2 handers?
Not really, a long sword isn't heavy enough to fit into the hand-and-a-half category.Damien wrote:Just a quick note -- the 'longsword' IS a "1-1/2 hander."

I really, really wouldn't argue with Damien when it comes to historical edged weapons. I'm fairly sure he could give Ewart Oakeshott a run for his money!Blue Moon Knight wrote:Not really, a long sword isn't heavy enough to fit into the hand-and-a-half category
Glad to hear you like it!The Blue Knight wrote:The coin-hilted longsword would be my favorite, though I think it's a little off.
Indeed, the Longsword is an item Will's be working on for some time. Again, here's a few of the different versions he's prototyped:The Blue Knight wrote:He had several prototypes so I think he is still looking for the right look on that.
Yes, Little Armory does produce castle accessories, as does BrickForge, Unknown Artist Studios, Fine Clonier, and TLG itself. While Castle items are something BrickArms hasn't previously explored, Will felt he could design and produce his own original, high-quality accessories in that theme that the community would enjoy.Lord Scuba wrote:Hey, doesn't Little armoury already make Longsword's and such?
