Steampunk Reaper Scythe

Dark alleys, foggy nights. Clothed in black, a nightly fright! Jack the Reaper, scientist gone mad, has come to the city, to punish the bad! Wielding a mighty blade, that shifts its form, there is nary an opponent, that won't squirm like a worm!


This is a modular steampunk weapon that can be broken into smaller weapons, combined into different forms, blade rotates to different positions, basically good fun! The scythe stands over 7' tall, a bit large, not too heavy though. Finish oxidization was a bit rushed in the hotel bathroom to get it finished on time, but overall a very cool project. Huge amount of CAD work, an excessive amount of shop work, definitely not planning on making another one any time soon.
