Longsword + Sheath

[exigaen]

I got bored so I started modelling this and it just kinda took off. The blade is 2.5cm wide at the hilt, 90cm long, has a fuller running 3/4 of its length, and a lenticular cross section. the hilt is 15cm from crossguard to pommel base. The sheath / scabbard has 14 overlapping plates that rotate out of the way to allow for a quick draw and strike. I don't do hardsurface modelling very often, so I've learned quite a bit doing this. Crits are quite welcome, there's always room for improvement. Modelled in Maya, just so you know. I'm probably going to take it into zbrush next, as it's all fully uv mapped.
