My Rambo machete display

[Raven1973]

Best I can do chaps.

Used a real taxidermy cobra. Added an inert Claymore mine with tripwire and a white rag to simulate Sarahs shirt, as the tall boy bomb sequence. Loads of fake greenery. best I could do, will lift the foliage up a little more to show the knife and claymore better.

That looks excellent. Very accurate to the feel and look of the film. There's also no doubt that the cobra will scare any potential robbers.

Thanks, BTW just to clarify, the machete is a United Cutlery copy that I adapted, not exact, but as close as I can get it on a low budget.

In the film, the claymore is a horrible turquoise colour, so thought I'd keep it old school military green.

Great work. I picked myself one of the UC knives to replace the (very bad) MC I bought earlier. What have you done to yours? It looks a little different to mine. Did you make or buy the sheath?

Sheath was made. I removed the gun blue, with wire wool and let it rust to get the carbon steel look. Then cleaned off round the bottom edge of the blade. Removed the old wrap on handle, added paracord and hockey handle tape. Reshaped parts of the blade with a grinder, and thats as far as i could go.
