Rapier - HDR

Having fought with rapier for almost 14 years now the only thing that needs help is the stand and the blade the rest looks brilliant. This is what I would change add the grind grain(or burnish marks) to the blade to give it the texture it would have got when it was made into a diamond shape. Where your first finger rests on the blade needs to be fixed, its to shiny to see the transition to the edge. Last go with a Ice blue for the stand, and reduce some of the black around the edges, it makes it look straight up cg. Other than that I give you a huge grats on it. Just my opinion.
