Hey guys! This is my first official build I am working on. Would love some tips on things I should maybe think of for future parts of the build/maybe some things it looks like I should work on.
First time really getting down and dirty with this hobby, so any and all critique is welcome!
Decided to start with a sword from my favorite series, The Legend of Zelda. This sword specifically will be the Twilight Princess sword since it is the most detailed of the current swords (Why did I choose the most detailed one for my first try...)
I avidly follow Volpin and Blind Squirrel Props (I hope it's OK to name drop) blogs, and noticed they like to take two pieces of wood and route down the middle for a steel pole to go for strength. So that's what I did! I have a lot of smoothing and refining of some edges to do, so I am going to pull the dremel tool out tomorrow and keep working.
Pictures below! I will update this as often as I progress on the project, which will hopefully be daily!
