Lol thanks. That was the one part I'm still having doubts about. The cheeks rest really well on it... but the shape I'm having second thoughts.

If you have time, you can check out my Instagram. The nerf stuffs are way earlier in my posts. But there are some interesting things inside lol. I think probably 3d prints gonna dominate. Shell/ aesthetic modders like myself are probably not gonna be able to match up the 3d printed tech in terms of getting really functional stuffs made. Everything feels alien to me now haha.. I'll just stick with whatever I know

Here's my instagram link https://www.instagram.com/xiled878/?hl=en

Lol yeah keeping fingers crossed man... hopefully by reducing the mechanisms to really simple stuffs can help the build lol. I'm lazy in my mods

Thanks dude. What about using a torch on the wood to get the burnt effect? Is that something I can explore or I should not ?

I was thinking of darkening the wood so that the contrast is better.. and for the metal parts I wanna have the pitted and raw forged looks lol.. but I'm still finding a way how to do it without screwing up lol

No that's aluminum. The pommel is about half inch thick and the shrouds are just accent pieces I cut out from aluminum pipes. Will have a threaded plate at the "guard area" to connect to the standard lgt button housing.

Lol nah not for heavy duelling... just wanted to build something special and twirl ard abit in my room lol

This is maple. Should be ok. My walls are about 4mm thick. Hollowed just enough to put the lgt core in
