    Thanks gang. The sword was made by hammering and filing a brass rod. I added a pommel, and a hilt by adding a blob of solder and filing to shape. The hadguard is twisted wire.

    Gino, sorry it's a one-of a kind. Maybe one day I'll develop the skill to sculpt 54mm faces.

    Speaking of 'hair', you'd probably mean the SNAKES as the severe head is Medusa's. ;)
