I got a customer commission for a 75% scale Raider sword (golden age arc of course) so here she is at 63" and 24lbs. Yes, the blade should be slightly tapered but this was a budget build so that was the one thing that helped the customer's wallet. The customer wanted it to be "functional", hence the scaled down appearance. It's still pretty big and pretty heavy but quite balanced and usable. I shot a video smashing a ton of free craigslist furniture and it worked great.

For now, here's some pics:

Enjoy!

Holy crap, dude! First off, beautiful work. Second, 24 lbs???? I can't wait to see the smash video. With that weight that thing's gonna be a beast to swing. Just watching you wrangle that monster to show it off is impressive, lol.

Outstanding job, sir!

Thanks, it'll be up in about 2 weeks, I'm working on editing it together. Hopefully it's awesome-ish

Gathered up some free furniture on Craigslist and had a go at it. Hope it looks as fun as it was for us!
