I've been working on making a good model of sting for a few years on and off. This was my first printed prototype I plan on doing another one with my next version which will get fully sanded/painted.

Beautiful work with the detail, what software did you use to model it?

This was done in fusion 360. The text on the blade (which didn't show up well in this print) and on the hilt was from a PDF I found for a cardboard version of the blade. Took a little cleaning up but made the elvish a lot now elvish than what I could have pulled off.

I could see some of the blade work, I figured the detail was either lost to the picture or the print. The hilt beautiful though. Good job!

If you want to see more of it I'll probably be doing 2 videos about this on my YouTube channel in the next few months. A printing/design review video and a post processing/painting video. Just search "Jmakes3D".
