Boone, I think you sould upload the file to the files folder on the yahoo group, anyone who wants to see it can download it from there… oh and dont forget to send me the new file :D…
Denntanos, the sword is going well, try to render images at 2k, so we can see the details… ok, the rope on the handle needs to be thicker, and modeled like the concept cipherL did, thick rope tends to fold more at the edges.

Also you need to model the eagle motif into the hilt, and try to put some detail on the base of the hilt, and where the blade meets the guard I think there should be a gold brace.
