good work.only thing I can suggest is to drop the gauge of the blades to make them alllitttle bit thicker and burn alittle bit of varnish off on the armature.the brass looks great but the copper is to shiny. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> damn good looking soldiers too. -Matt<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI too agree with the look of the copper and am currently developing a method that will hopefully fix that problem. But I am holding off on doing that until I get my new templates in. I only wish I knew how Chris got his Numero Uno glove to have the color of copper that it did. As for the gauge of the blades, I cannot afford to go thicker because the shiny surface only comes on one side on the thicker gauges and I would have to polish them all by hand and I simply don't have that kind of time. But these blades aren't flimsy.. they're thin but still quite sturdy. I love the thinner gauge because the blades sound more like blades when they hit each other. Thicker gauges just sound like metal things hitting other metal things and I prefer the sound of real blades in comparison.
