Well, nothing really special. The tips are well engraved in the kit part. I have used a piece of paper pressed to the blade and a pencil to draw the demarcation line, then used this template to prepare the mask from Tamiya tape. Then painted wood, placed the masks and airbrushed Vallejo brass colour. After that some dark brown wash and ready (almost). The wash is still not sealed, I will do this when I take the decision on prop logos.

Anyway, thanks Bo and Bob, for your kind words.

Truly astonishing work, Prez!  Another masterpiece added to your collection!  I'm sorry I missed so much of this thread, my friend.  My notification is set, but I somehow didn't get them.  Going to look at the rest of the photos, now.
Cheers,
Bud
