Cloud Strife's Buster Sword (Game Version)
I have wanted a Buster Sword for almost 30 years now. I kept seeing a bunch of 3D print projects people made of it, but always from the Remake or the Sequels. I don't particularly like the re-designs of the Buster Sword, I wanted one that was game accurate. So, using one of the variants I found online I made this version from scratch using similar design mechanics. And I finally have the base model printed today. I have a few gaps in the sections I haven't quite decided what to do about yet, but the model is more or less done. It's quite large and quite heavy lol. I think I am going to make a hanger that I can hang over a door ledge.
The "scaring" on the blade takes inspiration from both the artwork and one of the figures I have.
I also saw people had made "Materia" inserts for it (The green and blue parts) but I didn't like the way they looked so I made some custom ones too.

That looks awesome! How is the project progressing since you printed the base model? Did you figure out how to handle the gaps and the hanger idea? I’d love to see the finished sword!
