Well I've spent 3 years obsessed with my model Orca over in the Models thread and now it’s finished I need to do some full size props for a bit. Iv'e chosen to fill in some gaps in my Jaws collection by making some holy grails I could not buy. The harpoon gun being the top one. Even though I know its owned by a RPF member I'd like my own. I've 3d modeled it and made plans
depending on how it goes I might make a few to sell to fund My 6th scale ORCA build next year.
but to flex my CNC brain again I thought I would start with a small project. Wile buying props to scale my ORCA one of the things I found hard to find or just out of my price range was the Machete (French ww2)
So I quickly drew it up cut out some steel made 2 grips without actually looking at my research properly.
looking closely it not like a knife with 2 sides its 1 peace. so started again
its now out side in the rain aging the old fashioned way. its movie sharp hence not sticking itthe wood.
