gwbh Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Very good job, how did u make the serrations? My only critique would be the root looks a tad bit small for a blade of that size, but very very close to the real thing. Overall extremely realistic.

thair Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was not completely satisfied with the first try so I did another. Of course I have never been satisfied with art projects but the shape of the blade on this one came out better I think. I may have to go back and re-paint because I not to happy with the color. Thanks for all the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrieder79 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 IF you want to make it look truly realistic, take a hammer and bash it into little pieces. That way it will look exactly like all the megs I've found. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
