Here are 2 of the 6 Chinese swords I made for the show. They were sculpted in Chavant, moulded in silicone/fibreglass and then cast in resin/iron filler. The handle was wrapped with brown leather thonging.

A pre and post polished and handled sword.
6 Hazaar swords cast in brass and alluminium resin for the cavalry scene in the show.
The mould with the 2 halves cast inside.
Before and after the polishing with wire wool.
The cannon is a (mis)firing cannon which is operated by one of the dancers. There is also a plume of smoke from a smoke machine which is concealed within the barrel.
The barrel was poly scuplted in 2 halves so the mechanism could be fitted. The back of thr barrel is removeable to house the smoke machine and the wick acts as the opearating cord to fire the ball and reset the paddle to it's firing position.
It was then coated with glass fibre and plaster polymer and coloured with iron paste.
