Ive had luck using spray foam and shaping it. Of course id throw on a layer of masking tape, followed by paper mache, and finally some celluclay. This works out well for any hammer/stone weapons you may think of making, but shaping could be a bitch

Been meaning to substitute the final layer of celluclay with plastidip to see if it would work for short swords but it doesnt sound like it would work too well.

However for large swords I use some balsa wood and add thin eva foam and shape that with a dremel tool. I'd suggest making a buster sword if you want to try it out. May be a bit too heavy, but its usually what i go for. My only issue with large props is transportation
Pic somewhat related to anyone who ever has a large spear and want a removable head for transporting.
