Just started cutting out the first few pieces of the glass bow - I think this will be my most complicated build yet. I am glad I've built a few models before so I have some experience but wow, with those details I'll need to be extremely precise!
Also, hint for scaling for all attempting this: I have a horsebow that I actually shoot (
http://nephtis.deviantart.com/art/Archer-325985353) and that one (unbend) is roughly 140 cm long. Those files are 120 cm. So if you build this and even considering that horse bows while rather short have a strong curve, you need to consider scaling those files up a lot according to your body size. Especially if you are building something like a regular hunting bow.
I chose 110% which should make it a little larger than my real bow but hopefully not too large for me as a person. After all this is not one designed to be used from the back of a horse and it already has the curve.
You should be able to hold it comfortably so maybe scale the hand grip for your hand and the rest should fall in place? There isn't an arrow rest on those bows, so you'll have to shoot over the back of your hand. So maybe make sure the decorative elements on top of the grip give you enough space for that too.
I know, I am nitpickicking... but with a build this complicated, I hope to avoid re-building it when you figure out you scaled it wrong half-way into the project...
