Detroitika - Tanner Jon A.
Sword of the Blue Mountains
Last Spring, a few on-sprue German cavalry sabers found their way into my hands, but they all had shortshot blades. I did the best I could -- I saw the curved sprue attachment as an opportunity for a fantasy handguard, and filed the stubby shortshot into a sharp curve that fits a short elven Scoia'tael sword from The Witcher.
The grip is a lathed ODG sprue. I wanted light impressions of rings, but the sprue was slightly off-center during lathing, which turned out to be a happy accident... I got my light impressions, but only on one side of the grip, so they look like finger-holds.
I don't see myself making a Iorveth fig soon, so a forest backdrop it is. I made a little baby arachni for the landscape, but it's out of the shot!
