Hello all!
Pretty sure I'm posting in the right place for this, so here goes.
I got a late start to playing Skyrim, but now I've played a bit and I'm itching to build some items from the game. I'm thinking of building a costume, but I'm not sure whether to build a Dragonborn rig, or just a Stormcloak/generic guard costume. I do love my arrow in the knee jokes.
Either way I know for sure that any costume I make will be using the "Steel sword" from the game. So while I ponder the costume, I'll be busy building the sword. Here's a pic I found from someone doing a high definition re-texture mod, just to show what I'm after. For the build though, I'll be using the "stock", in game version. When I get the chance, I'll take some screen caps of my own to replace this one.

So far I've only scaled the blade from the game, and cut the blade out. I'm starting the process of shaping the blade geometry now, and hope to finish that soon.

I'm also documenting the build as a tutorial series on Youtube, so here are the links to what I've got so far.

Feel free to hammer me with critique and suggestions because I KNOW there will be some flaws. It's been a long time since my work got kicked to the curb, and my ego has gotten far too large.
