Weapon in Development, part 2

Hi, guys! How's the term break going? Enjoy? Having fun?

So, this is my progress for making the axe...

Based on the working drawing, I've cut the axe into many pieces.

Each pieces of the cutout is a mounting board stick by double-sided tape with 2 pieces of compact foam at both side.

This is to make the axe looks bulky & thick, but still very light to wield it. (like holding a feather... :D)

As the picture shown above, this is how it look when combine all the pieces together.

Of course, I'm still have a long way to finishing it, this is just the inner part of the axe, I'm still need to covered it with cardboard, make the blade sharp, adding all the details & etc.

Yupe, still got a long way to go... OTZ

So, hows your progress?

Weapon in Development

Greetings!

There is a Chinese saying, "hit the metal when it's hot" (打铁要趁热... :D)

After I've sketch out the design, I trace the artwork with FreeHand(designer software), and this is my basic line work. The axe is about 2.5 feet in height, less than 1.5 feet in width.

The status up to now is, I've printed out the actual size in paper, now I'm going to start all the handicraft works... :D

I will update the progress again, maybe with photos also, really looking forward to make the axe happen. So, how's about your weapon?

The Forge Master

Forge your own weapon...

As if an artist without his brush, a chef without his spatula.

How can you start your adventure without a weapon?

Fellow members, we should forge our own weapon, if we need to start our journey...

So, as for our next mission (character development still ongoing), think of a weapon suitable for yourself. Learn from the previous meeting, find a concept, brainstorming and development.

Show me your design and we will make it happen, also, don't forget to engraved our club logo into it.

As for me, I will be using Axe, I named it "King Cutter X-AE"(pronounce as X minus AE). The ideas of my design is based on [X](axe) and [O](round shape). After a few development, as what you can see from the picture above, this will be my final outcome.

The center of the axe is a round green orb, the two blade is heat blade. So, I'm thinking of colored it with gradation tone, from white, yellow to orange, maybe a little bit red at the edge. Also, I engraved our club logo into it, can you find it?

So, this is what I can think of it for now... Now, what will your design be?
