You know, the sword is really cool, but the stand it what really impresses me. The curves and lines on it a very well executed.

Definitely a cool sword. But I must say, the stand absolutely steals the show here. I love the curling effect you've achieved. Beautiful work.

Thanks Chris, I try. Thanks again buddy! ;)

Thank you for the compliment Seth, it was a lot of fun to build.

awesome MOC and photography!

Amazing. That is all I can say. Simply amazing.

Thanks for visiting this one Romy. :)

this is INCREDIBLE !!!

Ha! I wish. Just a fan since 1978. However, I have been the Show Chairperson of the Lego Competition @ EXPO New Mexico / The New Mexico State Fair since 2003. It's always a blast and it is a decent venue to display my work and occasionally, live building demos. I also build sculptures for new video game releases for Hastings Entertainment since October 2010. If the game logo matches Lego colors, then I add it to a short list of possible builds. Hope that answers a few questions for ya. Thanks for the excellent compliment Will.

Geez, Louise. You just keep on churnin out these great MOCs. Are you a professional? Of course you are :)

Absolutely. That was my thought as well after its construction but I was able to solve this issue a few days later with a next gen evolution of this technique. The original premise of this design was to ensure the blade would not bend or bow while in full swing. Come by again when I post the next few blades in my Zanpakuto series. Thanks for the excellent feedback Deus Otiosus. :) -M.

The side-details are of course excellent, but the sword looks very thick... The axe you made is a lot better, if you decorated it as you did it with the sword...

The curves on the stand are amazing. Some more photos would be great.

Thank you David. Yeah, the day was overcast when I took these a few days ago. Many photos were badly washed out. I plan on shooting it tomorrow weather permitting. I will also shoot the stand separately as well.
