TF2 - Group Cosplay - Melee Weapon Update I

So although I had plans for cosplay this year at PCC16, among other set backs, time just ran out.

Here's a quick update of where I currently stand with my TF2 group cosplay.

Probably a year or so ago I drew up cad files for laser cutting the basic structure of the bonesaw and wrench, I ended up doing it right before I graduated college but lost the parts and kinda forgot about the files. Two months ago, I wanted to revive this thought and started working on the sniper's Kukri.

Still not being able to find the old pieces I laser cut, I re did the templates by hand roughly cut them on my bandsaw and sanded to the respective lines of my template. I do all my templates in Rhinoceros 3D so that if I choose to, I can also create 3 dimensional parts very easily from my 2D lines. This program is not free, but you can get a free 60 day trial before you buy.


 Original Engineer Wrench and Medic Bonesaw


Sniper Kukri - very basic linework


 Spy - Knife (still in the works)


The screw portion of the wrench I had a buddy 3D print for me I'll show you guys in the next update.

When I start to work on the guns (likely after the melee weapons are finished) I will post up a secondary update thread just for those.

As always if you have any questions, comments, concerns please let me know and I will do my best to get back to you asap.

Cheers,
Kevin
