So
months ago, Markhall handed me a Warmachine mini to repose. Namely, Maxwell Finn:
Mark asked that he have his arms stretched wide and game me a plastic knife from an Imperial Guard kit to put in his left hand. (as his left hand nominally has the side handle for his machine gun)
And I promptly lost the knife.
And tonight, amidst preparations for a holiday, I decided to take a break and assemble Finn. Not being able to find the knife, I decided to make a new one out of plasticard. It came out pretty good, I think:
Not the best photo, but you can get a good look at the various nocks I put in there to catch enemy melee weapons on:
to make the blade, I glued two strips of plasticard together, drilled a 1mm hole in one end and stuck it on a paperclip. I then used a couple of files to shape it, mostly at angles to create the edge on the blade.
