So this year I was inspired by those amazing figures imagining Star Wars villains as samurai. This is my interpretation of Vaders sword. I made the base, handle, hilt and picture frame. I found the pic online and used an old blade just painting it cherry metallic red. I'd love your feedback

That looks so freaking good!
I think you need to do a matching Obi-Wan katana now. You know, to "complete" the set.

I was the first person to ever combine star wars and samurai visually in a series of figures I did well over a decade ago. It has been done a lot since but I thoroughly researched it and no one had done it at the time. I posted the figures below. I love that sword. It is a very cool idea and turned out very nice. So cool thanks. I have thought about making full sized versions of some of my helmets and weapons. This makes me want to do it more.
