I don't see it as anything wrong, just ways you can make improvements.
Thats how I should see it, but as long as I improve i cant complain.

Nice work as always, all around!
For, a question: Have you ever done anything based on a Bat'Leth?

Hi Guys, see my theory works! We are all "Works In Progress". Points to you both. Nice work as always, all around!

Hello and thanks Karmack, a Bat'Leth has been suggested/mentioned in the past and I said I would look into it. I wasn't very good with curved parts back then but I have learnt new techniques so fear not, I am still working on a Kurved Klingon Kutter to go with my Grethor hilts! I will make it so! Point on it's way to you.

Hello Karmack, Just had a few hours spare so I made a start on a Bat'Leth for you. It's a more complex shape than I thought to get right but I got this far... And of course it comes in For Tyeth Green too... I will add a few tweaks and try to sharpen the design up but I hope this works so far. Q'apla!

I'm fuzzy on why you added a secondary blade.

I'm fuzzy on why you added a secondary blade. Hi Logos, these weren't meant to be Screen Accurate or anything, I was just testing out techniques to build curved and contoured shapes. I did have access to use Google's SketchUp design software for a while but that didn't let you use curved surface tools unless you paid for the full license. All you could build were Minecraft Bat'Leths made of blocks! This was a Kylo Ren I made in SketchUp as an example. Blender 3D is Light Years ahead of SketchUp. Wow FT, those designs are incredible! Nice marriage between two great franchises "Q'apla!" indeed Thanks Dutch, As I mention to Logos these were just experimental designs to try things out. But I still had to be careful to make a fair job on them - I don't want to start an Inter-Franchise war by upsetting the Trekkie fans out there I even used a Star Trek typeface for my watermarks! Points to both of you and thanks as always.

Hello Everybody and Logos, @Logos, The extra blade started to bother me after you mentioned it so I have modified it back to a traditional Bat'Leth shape for you. And there's two in the picture this time! Might look good with this hilt...

And there's two in the picture this time! Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble. I just always thought the bat'leth was an elegant and superb weapon design. It didn't need tweaks. However....I would not be opposed to seeing a d'k tahg inspired hilt. Maybe with 4 guards instead of the traditional 2.

Thanks Infinit! Or should I call you Obi-Wan? (Hello There! I'm back!) I like to try doing different stuff now to "sharpen" my modelling skills. Doing Trek inspired models (or Ghostbusters ones) I have to be careful not to upset the fans so I do my best! Thanks again.

Hi Logos, no problem. I just saw an image with the extra blade and figured I could have a second blade section held in place by the plasma blade of the main body (so it kinda floated supported by the beams). I will have a look at the d'k tahg hilt you mention but I have a lot of jobs on atm!

Hi Karmack, glad I got this one right (eventually). Ironically the Star Trek TNG episode came on my cable package just as I was building/modifying this Bat'leth so I Kahless on screen as I was building it. I admit my Bat'leth wasn't forged from a lock of hair but I don't think it's bad for a first attempt! Thanks for the comment, I might try and model a Disruptor pistol next! Point inbound.

Anyone be willing to explain how these work? They look cool and all, they just don't look practical. Unless I just don't know what I'm looking at.
