The full size broadsword I made first in marzipan never set up hard enough, 
even after a week, to support any of it's own weight.  I ended up making a 
huge batch of marzi-plate and Morningstar ended up making the final sword 
(and the full size crown) out of that.  We did set it on a wooden cutout 
painted white.  Of course that was just gilded, not welded.
Orlaith (who has changed her name) recently made a pulled sugar rapier in 
full scale.  I got to see pictures!  It was wonderful.  Of course, that 
wasn't welded either.
