Allan's sword models-an update with

[Allan]

Hi fellows,

here they are, the latest shots of my samurai sword models

I imagine I'll have them finished in a week or so

the material for wrapping around the hilts and sabbards I bought at the local dressmaking shop----it looks better than the stuff found in the kit----easier to wrap too--do you know purple is the color of sexual frustration?

I used small dots of superglue to fix the material in position as I was doing the wrapping

Tell me what you think---my next projects may be a P-1101 in Don Gentile's markings or maybe Meyer's, or Hartmann's WW2 Lutwaffe Sabre in tulip pattern.

You know a JMN is going to comment " the hamon line is not realistic"

They are very cool. But do you do all your modelling in the pub?

Wow very sharp, Allan! Those are beautiful! It's great to see Thursday piccies from you again. Excellent work on those swords!

Purple is the color of sexual frustration? Looks like I'm gonna have to redecorate.

And the next thing to do is to let the JMN examing the Hamon line from VERY close up!! As in watching the blade slice through the neck

Different.

Actually, I have the real thing at home, courtesy of my dad who liberated them in 1945.

Looking good dude!

I have real ones (not Japanese made mind you) but more than enough to cleave a person in twain...
