I hate you so much right now uncle @Rob Fisher
Don't be a hater @Viper_SA...
Just think if you work hard for many years and you are 61 years old you may be able to afford one.
@Rob Fisher
There is no 'mean' rating, so I can't rate your post above
That green bit is awesome! Looks like little ghost heads to me and fits the mod name so well. Dibs if you ever sell, provided I don't have to sell a kidney of course

Hehehe... I doubt the Mythos will ever be sold...
Truly a thing of beauty! Congrats Rob. Please keep us posted on its progress. Love this type of step by step post.
That's is a very beautiful piece. Did you get to choose the piece of wood?
THIS is the reason I got out of the music biz lmfao. Money is great to have. Hell bent on being able to retire by 65 and have a good time doing it. Looking forward to it. I will pick up guitar again but on the most ridiculous custom instruments and actually enjoy it all the time.Don't be a hater @Viper_SA...
Yes I got to choose everything @igor... the wood, the top plate, the bottom plate and a special Hussar Tank to match.
The Viking's are completely custom made.
Very Nice looking Mod WoW
ps where's the Porcupine icon going to be put on

I now understand what my wife means when she talks about couple goals. It must be about a man and his incredibly beautiful and fully personalised mod living happily together. I cant wait to see the finished product @Rob Fisher !
I want to practice so I can make things that look this good. Thanks for sharing the process I thoroughly enjoyed the read so far.
Wow @Rob Fisher that blue/green colour combination looks awesome
. Especially with those knots (I think??) that look hauntingly like skulls. The top and face plates, are they Damascus steel??
@Silver more fodder for the "Reading Forums As A Non-vaper" thread:

One is Damascus Steel and the other is Mokume I think... can't remember... just chose the ones I liked.
@Rob Fisher , I was chatting to @Paulie the other day and he told me that this Damascus Steel was very special.
Interestingly, it seems there is some mystique about it. The original methods of producing it are not known.
Check out initial excerpts from Wikipedia:
Damascus steel was a type of steel used for manufacturing sword blades in the Near East made with wootz steel.[1] These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, resistant to shattering and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge.[2]
The steel is named after Damascus, the capital city of Syria. It may either refer to swords made or sold in Damascus directly, or it may just refer to the aspect of the typical patterns, by comparison with Damask fabrics (which are in turn named after Damascus).[3][4]
The original method of producing Damascus steel is not known. Modern attempts to duplicate the metal have not been entirely successful due to differences in raw materials and manufacturing techniques. Several individuals in modern times have claimed that they have rediscovered the methods by which the original Damascus steel was produced.[5][6]

Yip Hi Ho @Silver... it's one of the reasons the mod is so expensive... the Damascus steel and Mokume (which is a similar process but used more in high end jewelry) adds to the cost in a big way... but it makes the mod really unique... and I guess that is part of the appeal of HE... not to mention it makes it really beautiful and a piece of real art!
Mokume has a high wastage of materials because they take lots of sheets of precious metals and hammer them together to create that effect and the offcuts are a hassle to reclaim...
