[WIP] The Galaxe - Hatchet

Dear Lads,

I am right now on my next Project for Chivalry.
The existing Hatchet seems to me like a woodcutter ax so i wanted to make a Hatchet in a more military way and some accents of nordish culture.

Thanks goes to Sir Galahad the pure who gave me inspiration to create and design this ax!

This is a [WIP] Work in progress Thread, that means it's a step to step documentation about creating this weapon.

Estimate the right size and shape for the handle.

Shape the upper part of the handle in a eliptical geometry to give the hatchet a more solid body.

Working currently on the grip of the hatchet. Added some leather strips to make the thing look a lot more craftable.

Finished the detail modelling too. Added some more Strips and Leather to make sure the ax has a solid look. I am pretty satisfied with the result right now.
Next Step would be making the UV texture mapping.
