looking awesome Love the work on the handles
Thanks Niabi!
I don't believe I forgot to post updates on this sucker!
Well... here goes...
Here is the handles mounted to the blade using 1" Chicago screws:
Well with the custom shape of the handles there was a wee bit of a gap at the front of the grip
So I took a scrap of the glued PVC that had been cut off and shaped it to fill the gap:
And after some silver paint, glue and weathering... Voila!
And some more shots after the whole thing was weathered and had about 5 coats of matte clear:
Close up of the Mando'a inscription:
And a bit of a "happy accident"
The last layer of clear bubbled a bit in this area but left a cool "pitted" look to the finish!
Now I just need to make a sheath that will be mounted to one of my greaves!
Yep, one step close to having all the parts for sniper brigade!! 8)
