Apologies if you have already seen this on r/berserk, but I thought I would share in slightly more detail my build of Guts' dragonslayer and arm cannon.
The blade took about 8 days of non-stop printing.
Used bondo for the raw iron texture.
Figured out how to attach the chain link without cutting it open.
Mock up to see how everything looks together. I thought the pommel was a little small so I resized it and got it ready for molding.
Shot of the hilt detail.
The cannon is coming together slowly but surely. I'm self taught when it comes to modeling in Maya, so organic geometry is very difficult for me. Some areas (like the thumb joint) will be sculpted by hand with apoxie sculpt.
As much as I would love to use this for cosplay, it's meant to be just a display piece, as there is no way to wear it while keeping it 1:1 scale without actually lopping off your forearm.
Thanks for taking a look at my work!
