Re: Glaive - Rough Tutorial

Pipe-Cutting and Notching Once you have figured out how long you want your hilt to be, you need to cut both of your pipes to that length. I made mine about 29 inches long. You will then need to cut notches or slots in either end of your inner pipe. These notches need to be matching on opposite ends ...

Re: Glaive - Rough Tutorial

Glaive - Before you start Before you start, you need to determine how you want your glaive to look. The artwork in the comics is extremely inconsistent. Each comic panel looks different, sometimes with unique designs. As a result, there are a number of options to choose from. You will need to choose...

Re: Kanos build, step by step.

I may be wrong, but I thought Kanos had two different arm bracers, or whatever they are called. I thought one was the plain red armor, while the other was metallic and had all the technical gadgets on it (commlink, etc). Carnor Jax had two matching armor pieces. At least, in Crimson Empire I, that's...

Re: Force Pike Details

I'm kinda liking the spikes in the first option...kinda pyramidal. What are you making them out of and how are they attached?

Also, I can't figure out what the space in between the spikes is? Looks kinda roughed up, but also kinda fabric-y.

Looks like you are on a good track. :)
