Lifesize Sentinel Prime Sword - Help Wanted!!!!!

Hello,

I'm a hobbycrafter from germany.
at the moment I'm building the sentinel prime sword from the 3rd movie in lifesize
(human lifesize of course...not robot :grin: ) and I really need your help.

On at least one of the blades there are written some signs in "transformers-language".
can anyone provide me a high-res image with enough contrast from these signs so that I can use this as a pattern for a stencil? And if there are some signs on both sides, an image from the other side too.

Unfortunately I don't own the figure and I already looked in the figures-gallery here on seibertron, but none of the images is good enough. it's always just grey on grey and hard to see.
you really would help me with that.

Thanks in advance!

If you can build Optimus's sword of Judgement from AOE, I'll buy it.

Thank you so much Sly. You made my day. Are there some signs on the other side too?

Or are there signs on the other blade? I want to make it as exact as possible ;)

Plenty of people have sold me swords before. Why would this be any different?

Nope. Only on the side of the blade with one spiked knuckle thing.

Also, I noticed that the markings on the toy are slightly different from the movie. There's 7 on the toy, whereas there are 8 in the movie version. So, I got some **** from the actual movie.

Don't be so hard on the kid. He's just going through his Angelina Jolie phase--the former knife-collecting Goth chick is now a UN spokeswoman or something.

OK. Carving is done. Not perfect, but there will be filled in some black anyways to raise the contrast.
I took the signs from the movie stills, because I wanted to have it
movie-accurate. Still a little work to do, but it should be done soon. ;-)
