Hi Borek

Thanks so much for the updates , he's looking good ...very action in the movement

Good to see the weapons ...dare I ask how you do these ....a basic shape and the sanding to achieve the look ?

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

I'm curious about that little piece of coil or spring on that battle axe. What is its function?

thanks so much Nap. And yes, , you described the procedure very precisely

I'm curious about that little piece of coil or spring on that battle axe. What is its function?

Found on several frescoes. I heard that it was a wrapped leather strap that was supposed to act as a seal between the handle (haft) and the the ax blade. I think it's highly unlikely. In my opinion, it is actually a wrapped skin or braid, and it is a simple primitive decoration of a haft under the axe blade .

Cheers Borek

Thanks Nap. Yes, it is a tool made of epoxy putty (milliput). Such a miniature groove, rounded at the end. I use it as a stamp, its imprint creates a nice and gentle crescent.
