    RSS Capt. Rogers - The Sword of a true American Hero - Full Scale Prop

    https://www.reddit.com/r/cosplay/s/sHhrdP5GXE

    My full scale Lego swords are made to be used. While they won’t actually cut, if you are not careful, someone could get knocked out.

    The second RSS prototype built RSS Captain Rogers; Captain America themed. I would begin working on the this new project before finishing RSS Iron Saber.

    After creating a base look and feel, I then looked for old Captain America sets that I could integrate into what I had created. I picked 2017 set 76076 Captain America Jet Pursuit It was already hard to find in 2018, but it had some key elements that I wanted to include like the Cpt. Rogers name plate and the printed star pieces. 

    Here are a few of my superhero themed sword I call Royal Sword Ship (RSS)
