Primary Space Mongol Jarhead Dao Sword

I can't recall where the original version of this sword came from- however nothing is really left from the original other than the cross guard. This is my attempt to make a fitting sword that would be appropriately scaled to 28mm heroic. There are two versions: Full is used where you want the full sword displayed. Full Peg is used to place inside the hand of a model. This version is meant for conversions where you want to replace a normal power sword with this one. The model has two sections with a pre-scored element in the middle that is slightly tapered. The way to use this: Cut the original sword from the model to where the hand instead looks like a closed fist. Make sure it's smooth but also has a decent flat-ish area on the top and bottom. On the bottom be sure to remove all of the original pommel. Print the model as you see here, right now the size from pommel to tip in a straight line should be around 35mm. With a pin vice, drill a hole from top to bottom straight down through the fist and clean with jeweler's sandpaper. Cut along the pre-scored line that makes up the grip and trim as needed. Use the pegs of the grip and insert them with super glue into the holes you drilled.
