I’m making this incredible master sword from and I need some advice on how to finish it! My plan is:

  1. sand
  2. fill in any gaps btwn multipart pieces with wood filler
  3. sand
  4. spray with sandable primer
  5. sand
  6. paint… with spray paint?
  7. …. Assemble? What about the parts that fit together with tight tolerances? Will the added paint make it impossible to assemble?
  8. what coating do I finish with to make the hilt a comfortable texture to hold?

Advice appreciated!

@boda this seems to be a pretty standard succession of operations, it's certainly similar to what Kamui Cosplay or Bill Doran would do, and that's a good sign. (Both of them Cosplay related YouTubers that I can recommend)
