I built my lancer's Blackbeard out of plastic garbage and broken gundam kits! I've been steadily working on it since late September and I'm super excited to have finally finished!!
Some details I really like are:
the omni harpoons are wrapped around the waist. the chains are hard to see, even in real life, but they're in there! The yellow spikes sticking out above the hips are the harpoon tips
the chain axe is made from a BIC ballpoint pen. the blade is made of paper, that is inside the plastic
the caution stripe cables are made of the straps from medical grade masks
i carved my own, teeny, tiny stencil to make the emblem
the numbers on the sword are the numerical flags on sprue! i think it's so silly that my pilot has this fancy ass nano-carbon sword and they chose too sloppily rivet embossed sheet metal into it.
