I made the sword from the video game Transistor for Katsucon 2018. Transistor has been one of my favorite games and I wanted to recreate the transistor sword from the game. I started out with a CAD model to scale dimensions to my body size, and then read up on different tutorials and techniques on how to tackle this project. I would love to remake this sword knowing what did and did not work well, but I learned a lot during the construction process.
