Arrggghhhhh! I've tried to resist getting this but I would absolutely kick myself if I missed out and the opportunity didn't arise again.UPDATE:

Please add me to the interest list.
I'm in Australia, so I know shipping will of course be extra.
Totally worth it though!!

Have it and you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Count on it.
I finally started on my glaive kit last night. I chickened out and used gold paint pens instead of gold leaf.
Instead of off white I used a darker gold that in person looks more bronze-ish. I was going off of the prop auction photos where the white had drastically discolored over the years. I’ll probably redo this part if I can find a close enough color
I went off of the color as it appeared here and thought a darker gold might actually look pretty good. I'm undecided on it.
Side question. Anyone have any tips for how to dull/tarnish the chrome blades to make them more closely resemble steel? I'm all about weathering it to make it look old and used as well. I was thinking of applying some acrylic washes to the blades to dirty them up a bit.
I'm also very interested to see everyone's display ideas. I'll most likely be sending this to my father for his birthday (it was one of our favorite movies to watch together when I was a kid). so I'll want to include a way for him to display it, either a stand or shadow box.

That looks amazing. Could you provide the name of the gold paint pen you used?
Tree House Studios gold paint marker that I got at a hobby store years ago. But I'd assume any of them would work.
The darker trim stuff is just a different brand, DecoColor.
UPDATE:
New KRULL "Glaives" are being shipped from the foundry and should be ready towards the end of July!

Runes done and crystals added.
I also rubbed the blades with a melamine sponge (magic eraser) to dull the chrome a bit to make it look more like a steel blade. I think it helps quite a bit. Before and after.
Such an excellent kit Brenton! Very fun to put together.

I'd still love to see examples of how people are displaying or placing this once its done. I've stopped building mine until I can figure out how I'm going to display it. I might try 3d printing some kind of stand.

I got a shadow box from Amazon and used several cubicle style hangers to hold it there.
The box: Amazon.com

Exactly like those actually. I had to tweak them a little. I used pliers to make hook a little wider and the default pins are slilghtly too deep for the back of shadow box. Just enough to poke holes in the back. So shorter nails/pins might work better if you can find them. There are other types out there that would probably work but I had those at the time.
The box is actually attached to the wall with command strips one pair in each corner and one pair on each side of the longer edge of the box. Might be overkill but I didnt want it falling off the wall.
The ones with the built in pins on the back are great in those shadow boxes, as they have foam and material backing.

To dull the blades a little, you could possibly try a fine steel wool. Might give it that more satin finish. But. you'd have to be super careful as you wouldn't want to go through the chrome.
