My first build- Emiles kukri and sheath

[Toto]

Since this is my first time doing this, I thought I'd try something fairly simple to see if it was something I'd want to turn into a new hobby. So I decided on Emiles shoulder mounted knife from Halo Reach. The pep file was one i found while browsing these forums, modeled and unfolded by L3X BLU3RIV3R.

Thanks guys, I still have some touchup to do on the point of the blade, and I'm waiting to get a dremel attachment so I can get started on the sheath. I got an old washing machine info display from when i used to work a sears thats made out of plastic that i think might work for the sheath.
And thanks for telling me how to post pics in the threads Darkrider9.

I would not recomend pep for small props like that. When I did my kukri it was wood, so I know that wont break after some "asassinations"

Didn't think of that, I just decided that it was simple enough with the amount of cardstock i had on hand to try. I may go in and reinforce it with something later after i coat it with hardener

I got a coat of fiberglass resin on the knife yesterday, soon as I have the funds, I'll get it bondo-ed up and shaped properly. I'm going to attempt my spartan character from Reach

I have both shoulders printed out and started on assembly and I've finally found a MK V helmet that I liked.
