Description

This is my steampunk werewolf's main weapon. He's a little vicious. 

It's... maybe a little too fantasy to be called Steampunk? I'll see if I can embellish it any more, but hopefully it won't look out of context with everything else I have.

The 'glaive' head is actually a sword from Spirit, with the pommel removed. Handily there was a tube just wide enough to wedge the end of a PVC pipe in there. About 50% of the top half of this guy is filled with glue and willpower. I painted over the original dirty bronze and lurid orange to make it look... better. 

The chain is another Hallowe'en prop that used to have hooks attached to it- they've been taken off as another weapon belt accessory. It's held on with hot glue.

The butt end is actually a small juice bottle painted up with a hole in the liid for the shaft to fit through, with hubcap parts making it look more... brutal. And to hide the juice bottle >.>; I had wanted the hubcap 'blades' to be pivoted out but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to secure them well enough for their awkward shape without having screws poking out. I'd rather it not break and at least look like they flare out to some kind of harpoony looking thing than have it shed pieces all over the con.
