I redid the Axe to make it look like the end of the movie and not so plastic and cheesy! I think it came out ok, hard to tell with iphone camera

That turned out awesome :rock
 
I've been meaning to post pics and further comment on the axe situation, but I felt like I burned so much gas stating the case the first time that I didn't want to revisit it, but the fact is I think even 7" is still a touch long. You could really take a full 1" off the back and this would look fine, but I think it would be a good balance for the figure if it was 6¾" (as a couple others mentioned). Only shaving ½" off the back still leaves it pretty damn long.

I wanted to take better pics with measurements to show what I mean but here's just a quicky. I have the hands spread apart enough for that wide grip with the lead hand close to the head as is on screen (I know Jack is a lefty and it's facing the wrong way; haven't had a chance to reposition it), and there is still a serious amount of excess at the butt (about 1½"). Taking off ¾" would still leave a good ¾" which would look as it does on screen.


 
Very nice work!

Thanks Turdf and Pop!!!! Looks much better, couldn't stand that plastic look anymore plus im getting the better axe(the real axe) I watched the movie last night and yes the axe is wayyyyyy to big, so i got inspired to get out the paints and destroy the axe! Chop chop!
Some of the yellow paint is chipping of the axe also so it was time!

Man that came out REALLY well!

It actually looks like it's glistening.

Awesome work.

Got the first maze completed. There are several things that I will correct before the next one but I wanted to get this one done so I could take a look.

7 inch axe proto. Fergo says that he will use a lighter color wood when he start production. He will send me the proto tomorrow to take pics of the axe on Jack's hands for reference.
