Carcharodon Official Badab Chain-Axe mod

I decided earlier this rather than to use any old chain-axes, I wanted to make at least one or 2 officialy recognized ones from the Carcharodon arsenal.

This is a picture taken from Imperial Armour Vol 10 - The Badab War - Part 2 and is a known Carcharodon ChainAxe

I looked over the internet for axes thinking I might find 2 parts that are similar enough to the illustration to attempt this project without creating my own axe model, It would seem that the carcharodon chain-axe is basicaly a modified regular axe so I was lucky in my hunt as it would only take a few small modifications.

I removed the edge of the axe and cut the blade away from the chainsword and also removed the wire from the head of the axe.

I then made sure that the chain blade would be thin enough to bend and glued one end of the blade down and let the glue dry.

When It had dried I flattened the rest of the axe head down and clamped it together with a crocodile clip until set, once set I removed the over hanging blade teeth.

I then used a very thin strip of green stuff to fill any holes in the newly formed mold.and in a sense smeared it into the grooves until all the area was filled,  I'm not too bothered about the rough finish as I will be adding red ink to simulate blood and this will just add to the blood/ gut effect at the end of the model.

I smoothed the model down A little and let green stuff harden.

Next step will be painting this newly formed axe along with model so stay tuned for later updates :)
