Dark Souls 3: Valorheart

The shield and sword weapon, obtained in the new DLC for Dark Souls 3 has been my favorite weapon for a while now and I couldn't wait to bring it to life. The sword was made in Solidworks. The shield was made using Solidworks, Meshmixer, and Autodesk Netfabb.

Bill of Materials:

- 25" long 1/4" metal rod

- Dark brown cloth

- Glue (super glue, hot glue, etc.)

- Using the connectors to line up the pieces assemble the pieces in rows and glue into place

- Connect the rows with more connectors and glue them together

- Wrap the handle in the brown cloth
