In this video I will be showing how I took MDF and built my second Gambol Shroud, Blake belladonna’s weapon from Rooster Teeth’s ‘RWBY’, in 4 weeks. I had to take multiple shopping trips for my materials, did not keep all of my receipts so I do not know how much it cost me. It is definitely over $70. I also bought $30 ticket to have it signed by Arryn Zech, Blake’s voice actor, at Supanova 2018 and with the 4 weeks of spending all of my free time on this build, the resulting value of this piece well above $100 (I personally value it at $300).
