November update

Work is continuing on Mjolnir and I have now made it to the painting stage. Rather than brush paint on the head I’m sponging on the paint which is giving a really nice metal effect. The rings on the grip have been painted with some liquid silver paint.

I wasn’t happy with the pommel and re- printed it. It’s now sanded and just needs painting. Before gluing it on I need to create a paper template and cut out some faux leather for the handle.

Finally I’ll use the same leather to make a strap and attach it to the pommel.

When this is done I plan to work on the sword and scabbard for my Solaire costume.
