Description When I was little, I kind of wished Barbie had come with G.I. Joe’s accessories, so I used to make little weapons for my dollies, because they weren’t jetsetters, teachers or dog groomers like Barbie. They were spies, ninjas, and vampires. We also didn’t have much money so I had to either use my imagination, or get creative. My mom was crafty so there were always some supplies and lots of paint around.

Now that I’m all growed up, I still make crap. Now they don’t fall apart as easily. Which leads me to why I’m babbling. I made a bunch of miniature Zanpakuto out of found objects. It was all because I was watching Bleach filler and my hands were itching to make something. My friend suggested I post them here. So I finally got on my butt and put them together.

Oh, and I made a sort of walkthrough on how to make them and posted it in my Journal. Here’s the link if you’re interested; [link]

Impressive. These miniatures are harder to make than the full scale ones.

Thanks! I don't have the tools or the materials to make anything full size so I have no idea if that's true or not.

This is made from rigid foam insulation, paper, and thin plywood, and was made using just a razor knife, glue, and sandpaper. [link]

I like that. I could make a lot more minis with all that than I could full size. I'd like to join your group. Do you think my miniatures are enough to make me a sword-maker?

Unfortunately the rules only allow for full size, but I am thinking of adding some subsections.

That would be nice. I've been a watcher of *chioky's for a while so I've been watching the group from afar. Sucks about that rule.

I am setting up a group called Wee Things. Dedicated to the art of miniatures.

Cool! Perfect since I don't just make just swords. I've made all sorts of little things that don't really have a niche here. Could be the start of a revolution.

Now to await approval. I want to see if I can link the two clubs.

I'm thinking about it. I can make more but, I'm not sure I want to sell the ones I've already made. I suppose if enough people want them I might.
