It\'s my first and hopefully not last sword.

So... Any comments?

Well yeah I didn\'t work on the textures at all (just plain colors there), so I guess it\'ll look better with some detail and perhaps some scribbling on it.

taper the blade more starting at the base.  The handle looks great, but the blade looks too big for it.

Then add some awesome texture.

nah nah i like it taht way. gives it a very broad sword feel to it. also i think the crease in the middle of the blade (the word escapes me) should be very deep. gives it an even more broad sword look and feel.

fine leave it broad, just thin the contour a bit to make it look a little flatter, and easier to swing.

I tried how it would look with tapered blade and now I\'m not sure do I want to keep it thin or to make a bigger handle for I don\'t like the handle the way it is now by myself... I\'ll try it out with a bigger handle and then I\'ll see how I\'m going to continue with the sword.

I used Milkshape 3D which is mostly used for modelling Half-life models but I like to use it cos its easy to use and free.

You should find it by just searching for Milkshape 3D but you\'ll probably be able to download it from here: http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=477

broad swords are considered a category of long swords. Plus even if it wasnt it could be rethought and he might decide to make a broadsword instead. but as i said broadsword is a category of longsword.
