I decided to finally get my feet wet in this custom thing. I decided to do an original character, who will be a barbarian. Haven't made up a name yet though. The holidays have slowed down the head and body arriving in the mail. So I decided to go out today and pick up some stuff and make his main weapon. I love battle axes and also the giant war hammers like one on the main bad guys in Conan had. So I decided to combine the two.
I think it came out pretty well considering I've never made any kind of accessories before. A couple of pieces of wooden dowel. The end cut off an old butter knife. Some swede strips off an old jacket. A couple of heads off some small nails and voila a war hammer/axe. I tried to make it look like it's been used in some major battles. And also to look like something my barbarian made from scrapes in the wild. The two little brass nail heads on the one side are markers for the two dragons he has slain in his travels. This may not be the final version. I may try again. But I think this one came out pretty well. This custom thing is fun.
