John,
I did get it, thanks. Doing the UV for the hilt was a trial! Anyway, thanks for the help, encouragement and advice from all. Here is a render with a bump mapped texture on the ironwork and grip.
I think I’ll call this one done, and work on some companion pieces, maybe a dagger, plus scabbard and belt hanger. When I get the set done, I’ll contribute it someplace!
Lex
