    M13 Machete Build (Real-Steel)

    I planned on drilling them out careful like and then remold em prior to assembly. What did you use to drill your dowel rods on your barrel?

    M13 Machete Build (Real-Steel)

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm on day 3 of waiting for my mold backing to dry. Been looking into a product called Aves Epoxy Clay. Anybody ever used it? It sounds like what I need for any project I might ever do. So if you have used it, lemme know what you thought of it... Gobofrag

    M13 Machete Build (Real-Steel)

    Sorry, no pics of the ME2 build. I started it and realized how much cash I was going to have to pump into it. I've postponed that build till I can afford it.

    M13 Machete Build (Real-Steel)

    So I've started building two M13 Machete's. These will be real-steel but not usable quality. Purely decorative. I imagine if your life depended on it you could use them in a pinch but I wouldn't bet my life on them. One or two zombie kills at the most...lol I had them cut by a friend of mine...
