I just read through all of this, this is so amazing!  :o Sure it was several pages back, but I have to make me one of those light up knives, using a flashlight is so genius! Wonderful progress, you've got skillz!  :like:

Thank you so much Trashcanmando it is a big help for me to have all support from you, amazing people.  :like:
That dagger was the result of inspiration and playfull day with plexiglass and that torch light.  :porg2:

Everything looks good! I like how you did the shins, that's impressive.

@J'Khara Vontess Thank you. Now it is time to test and make the right shin from sintra. i hope it will be shaped ok  ;D

Agreed, that was pretty brilliant with the shins!

Thank you vod. It was a mockup to understand how it will look and how it is the size and shape.
All I make until now it is new to me but I love to learn.  ;)

Super awesome kit you're making! Love it, keep up the good work   ;D

@evening.echiveria Thank you very much vod. It is a real pleasure to have your support.  :like:

Thank you Trashcanmando, it was like a check list of what I've done and what remains to do.  :porg2:
But I like to build things :)

When are you taking commissions?  :laugh:

Hehehe :)))) thanks vod! It is a big help for me to have those mock-ups. And the leather shin was a big try for me.
I wish I can be that good to have commissions but like a friend and brother I'm here and if I can help you with info or picture or something else please shoot.
It is pleasure to help my friends.  :like:

The blade of the larger knife looks like it could use a bit more filler and sanding to remove the print lines. Other than that, everything looks good so far and the progress is great! Keep it up!

Thank you so much. It is not 3d printed. It is plexiglass with metal foil over and I made that cratches with a hard brush to be used metal not a new one :)
it is intended to be so used and old. I put the link for the video to take a look if you have time. Thank you again for your support and for your time. Big hug from Romania.

Ooooo! I see. I stand corrected, thanks so much for clarification.

Also those detonators...I want them! They look so cool! I'm going to have to take wiring lessons from you!

You'll want to make sure that the back plate isn't so long that it touches your waist items.

Also, big hugs right back at you vod!

I took a little break from armor building and made a dagger from sintra.
Design was made it by Alexander M Robinson from Digitalarob and can be found in on artstation.com







And inscription say: Strength rejoices in the challenge

It's hard to tell which dagger is better. I like the glowing one, but the new one is just so cool. I think it would go with a dirty weathered kit much more.  :like:

Thank you so much mate!
I like the glowing one too  :porg2: But like you said, this one is better fitting with the kit.
Thank you so much for your support mate!
This is the way

Your back armor mock up looks good and the knives look great as well.

That is a good new so I can now trace the pattern and start shaping the back plate.
