Re: Skyrim: Steel Axe
But it can be so much better with robots!
Before I got one of my own, I used Ponoko a lot. They do some excellent work there, and I still have parts cut there if the stock is too thick for my machine.
Worked some more (in between other projects) on the axe head parts. The "neck" section is coming along well. I carved out the concave section with a dremel and added a beveled cap to the end which will eventually be fitted to the rest of the handle. Also spent some time making the raised rounded accent pieces on this as well.
Weird coloring at the moment, just using different primer I've got sitting around.
The axe head itself was widened around the center and got a coat of textured paint in the recessed areas. The game art shows a bit of a dotted texture to the metal here, so I'm hoping this will simulate that well.
Placed the test filigree parts on this, but the added thickness of the paint makes them sit a bit high. Might need to re-cut them in .020" styrene to get the proper look to the depth.
I was kidding because your stuff is already so good.

Where I can learn more about this "laser cutter" sorcery?
