I am pondering what to do with this sword....how to paint it.



I loved the look of it, but now I need to paint it (lol) and I am stuck about what/how to go about doing it.

I have never done NMM before...but an willing to try.

I have never done a Power Weapon before with an airbrush (I now have one)...but am willing to try.

The problems I am considering are:

1) if doing NMM....where would the colors/shades go?

2) if doing a Power weapon scheme...how would I accomplish this when the sword isn't the traditional "double edge" with the line up the middle....

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback, everybody!

So the power weapon painting I'm referring to is very nicely illustrated here:

So, I'm thinking of something like this...with the bottom edge being the "divider line" like the middle of the blade in the video.

This is photoshopped, btw...not actually painted yet
