Sooo... kaween had this brilliant idea to give everyone a trinket during this Gamescom and he decided he wanted to print out personalized Halo Reach Combat knives.

I offered my help and Kaween has sent me the blades. With time I got 15 personalized blades - all with 405th logo, Gamescom 2016 and each name of the attending member.


First off I sanded down blades. These all lighter blades are already sanded down and Kris's balde on top is untouched.
I didn't bother with too much sanding as I didn't want all the lines to disappear.

Here I already primed the blades.

Aaand I after I sprayed them silver.

Here is where I started to paint them by hand. I chose to paint all the 405th logos like they are - not just black wash, but I wanted to do 405th justice and painted these light blue with some darker blue.
Aaand black wash for all other letters.

Weathering stage.

And finished! For comparison - this is a photo WITH flash, next one without flash.

And all blades finished.
Why I didn't want to sand down and fill all the printing lines? Because it gave a nice texture for the blades. With the weathering it gave that nice effect IMO.

Sorry I don't have any detail photos of the finished blades or whole knife. I hope Kaween has some or any of the people who got the knives. ;)
 
Damn, those are sweet!

What a fantastic idea!

Soooooo jelly.
