Batmanisaninja- Actually, you're totally right lol. I messed up when sanding it down, and attached it anyways since a convention was coming and I wanted to bring it as a display prototype. I am casting my favorite of the two hooks (the right one) , and will use those.. and of course, get them aligned straight!
Felandi- NICE!!! I think thats the most accurate render I've ever seen of the sword! Dunno if you mind nitpickiness, but theres a weird extra nubby thing right where the handle meets the crossguard. I was initially planning to curve the "toothy bit" on mine as well to add a lil more character, but couldn't figure out how to do it nicely with that extra part there..
Updates wise- I have the hooks plucked off the sword, and have been tweaking & refining one (i chose the right one) to be just right before molding it. I'm still really slow in this because of some major stuff i need to finish for conventions and panels I'll be running (have two in the next two months). Come the end of October I'll be freeeeee til i think around March, and I've been itching to make the dust fly in the workshop. Theres a lot of projects sitting around down there..
But guys, yes! I'll be making a run of these. I'll make an interest thread in the near future, since is fairly close to completion
