At first I didn't want to use the Machette, but rather a pirate saber. Some ingame shots show her to have one.
Then I thought... The machette does emhasise the character, much as Connor's Tomahawk, and the Machette should be a little easier to move around with.
The thing is made out of a PVC pipe and the handle is made of 2 pieces of wood.
The logo of the belt is also PVC.
I must admit I am pretty satisfied with the whole thing so far

Might add more yellow patern thingies on the red waiste belt, but not certian yet.
I think the whole look of the costume is good so far.
More soon!!
Thanks for he interest!
