On Senni's advice, I've given myself a crashcourse in modeling, and so far, I've made myself a couple of weapons. Also, a warning: although I like to tell myself my modelling is pretty decent, I absolutely suck at texturing, so don't expect too much from that!
Anyway, here are some of my works so far:

Brisingr

Bolt

Caltrops

Corsesca

Throwing Knife (still untextured)

Black Arrows

Right, after a break of 2 months, it's time for some moar modeling! I've tweaked the Black Arrows a bit, both the arrows and the quiver, so those should look quite a bit better now. I've got some screenies from in Wings, but not in game yet, because for some reason, Wings and Openbrf don't love eachother, and won't let me add a quiver animation. ._.
Anyway, screenies!

Moar Black Arrows!

Looks really nice for your first attempt, only thing I would say is perhaps try making the handle a little shorter?

Or the blade longer. I'd say the blade longer. Agreed though, this is a nice design.

Not bad, not bad.
Better than I did on my first try. I hope you model more and better! Big Grin

Although, I suggest either make the handle shorter or the blade longer. Also, before you start making more, I suggest making more than swords. If you only make swords, you won't know how to make any other weapon and fall into and endless loop of making swords. Only swords. It's horrible.
A spear. An axe. Halberd. Something else. Dear god.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys Big Grin

My aim is to continue working on this sword to recreate one I read about (the sword Brisingr from the Inheritance cycle. I'm trying to make a fancy pommel now, with a sort of claw holding a gem. I'll make the blade a bit longer as well, and put up another screenie Tongue

Why don't you add some hard edges?

Adding:

Spoiler

Wow.

For a first attempt, thats a damn good looking sword.

Also wings looks very similar to blender Tongue

EDIT: on the fancy hilt, the black bits are the smoothing groups trying to make something flat look round. You'll want to mark out all the hard edges it didn't auto catch.

Thanks, I'm quite proud of it ^^
And yeah, I didn't add any hard edges. At all. Had no idea what they did. xD
Which edges would I want to make hard (god, that sounds wrong)?
Also, Senni, once I'm done with this one, I'll get to making some new bolts Tongue

I really like the curve of the hilt (?). That's what does the blade for me! Nice first attempt I have to say, although I have little knowledge of these things.

Me likey!
