Yup, I'm the guy that's posted a few of my similar creations.

Some pics:

And two build videos, one timelapse (5 minutes):

and one full-length/detailed (65 minutes):

I thought some here much like this. Not great for Cosplay since it's 72" long and 45lbs and very sharp but I prefer the more accurate "realistic" versions like this

In. Freaking. Credible. I give you props, no pun intended, for taking this on. If I were to make this, I would likely do it this way too.

That's huge, horribly impractical, and totally awesome. Great Job!

How long did it take to make? This is an absolute beauty!

Thank you! It was roughly 75 hours or so, I didn't track it accurately.

Made a stand for the client that will accommodate both of their Buster swords:

It weighs nearly 80lbs which helps with the stability of the blade-up display configuration.
