Custom Made Cloud Strife FFVII Inspired Metal Steambuster Sword with Steamateria

This is a custom reproduction of Cloud Strife's Buster Sword from the FFVII game series with a Steampunk twist. -Constructed primarily from Aluminum the sword is cut from 1/8" sheet, welded together with internal bracing, filled with foam to help prevent internal rattling, then ground and sanded to a smooth finish with textured painting in metallic hues, then antiquing added to finish the product. - This one is 85" from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle and weighs 25 lbs. It is 10" wide and 1.75" thick with a battle worn roughness to it. - The handle, which is welded securely into the blade and re-enforced with a steel inserts, is wrapped in a basket weave pattern with genuine aged gray leather. The handle diameter is 1-1/8" and is also approximately 23.5" long. Brass fittings and a crystal door knob are used as the pommel. -One piece each of 30 mm Aluminum and Brass Steamateria are incorporated into the sword. Various gears,cables and electrodes made from brass and copper are attached to give the sense that the Steamateria is powering the weapon. Tried not to overdo it with the gears either but still give it a Steampunk feel. -A lot of time and work went into this one. Hope you like it. Thanks for browsing.
