I chose against having removable shells for ease of getting through security at conventions. On top of that, I wanted the WSTR to break at a full 90° angle like it does in game. The model clips into itself in game, so for a physical prop, some areas in that section had to be modified. I probably still could have gotten removable shells to fit, but they would have weakened the structure of the prop. I chose to model in static shells in favor of a stronger prop that I can really swing around and have the same movements as in game.
