ironsightsffs Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 [i could not get the thumbnails to work properly, sorry]There are a ton of exquisite Filipino swords out there and I would love to see any of them in Skyrim. I made the same request years ago for Oblivion, someone said they would do it and then they dropped off the planet. These swords are truly works of art, and it's really a shame they haven't made it into this great game yet. The swordsmiths make each of these slightly different from the last one, so I would have no problem if the modder did the same, as long as they kept true to the spirit of the original. Please somebody, put at least one of these in the game. Here are some of my favs (click the links for more/bigger pics + description):The Laringhttp://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/Images/Laring.jpghttp://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/Laring.html Lahot:http://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/Images/Sandata%20Large/Lahot.jpghttp://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/Lahot.html Pira Cotabato:http://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/Images/PiraCotabato2.jpghttp://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/PiraCotabato.html I'm trying to figure out how to word a disclaimer about this not being an elaborate ad for that site. I don't know the people that run it at all, but I have been eyeing this site for years and hope to buy some of these one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full listing of all the swords (& other weapons) is here: http://traditionalfilipinoweapons.com/sandata.html Plenty of potential inspiration there in case someone has different tastes than me.

Spl1nt3rC3ll Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks like they'd make good Khajiit or Redguard blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarnaut Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The Laring is another light, quick, and devastating traditional Filipino Moro weapon, recently added to our combat blade arsenal. Nineteen inches of deadly steel with beautifully carved exotic hardwood handle in an ornate scabbard with locking spring lock retainer. Our new, lighter, harder steel is used in this weapon, making it razor sharp and amazingly quick! wow... it must be America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsightsffs Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well I decided to teach myself Blender and do it myself. Here's what I accomplished today. While the scaling on the length is perfect, the width is off. Blade is way too chunky. Hoping I won't have to start from scratch to fix that. Also if anyone wants to step up for the texturing part I'd be grateful for the help. I'm actually a busy student trying to break into the medical field... http://www.freeimagehosting.net/185qs.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
