Bastone di Zanca Nijiku Gachiakuta

Zanka's staff from the Gachiakuta anime, complete and fully modular so you can adjust its height. I did my best to achieve the highest possible detail and be faithful to the original weapon. Meticulous work was done on the proportions and details, excellent as a base for cosplay and conventions.

READ CAREFULLY -

 In the photos where the weapon is painted, it underwent extensive processing; the print was sanded and the handle was reinforced with papier-mâché. 

The joints of the upper part are tight, so depending on your printer and printing precision, a slight sanding might be necessary.

The handle parts are sequential, so the joints are compatible only if the pieces are put in the correct order.

The chosen print settings were adopted for greater strength. If the print is not treated, it can only be used for display purposes; if you want to take it to a convention, post-production is absolutely necessary.

PROCESSING -

Sand the base of the blades with p120 sandpaper, do the same with the pegs; do not force the joints.

For the handle, work it with PVA glue (mix 2 parts glue and 1 part water) and newspaper, tear the newspaper into strips and add a spiral layer and a vertical layer and let it dry, repeat this process four or five times. Sand the handle and create a mixture of PVA glue (two parts), water (one part), and powdered filler (one part), mix well and brush it over the entire handle; when it dries completely, apply another coat, then sand with p80 sandpaper. Repeat the process until the defects are gone and the finish satisfies you. Give the handle a final sanding with p120 sandpaper, and you can confidently bring the print to a convention, but remember to handle it delicately.
