Riku's keyblade

I guess its been a long time coming. I started this project for someone I no longer talk to. I was doing it as a favor, and not charging for the work, so I quite working on it a year ago, after spending a day or two on it. It's been a year and it's just been sitting around in my workshop, and I think I'm gonna go ahead and finish it up.
The reference photo was given to me by the friend for which it was intended. I never played the game that its from (Kingdom Hearts) So I don't know the details of the game. I'm simply making what was in the photo below.


I started by layering MDF to get the basic shape.

My wife likes it ;)



Then shaping it with bondo

I picked it back up today and started shaping the hole above the handle where the "EYE" will go. I plan to create that in resin.

I figure if I finish it I may later cast it for kits or something.
Who knows?
