    I am under the impression it is international, but you can always check by starting an order and putting in the code before paying. It is doesn't remove the shipping fee.

    I just tested ordering to Canada and the code worked!

    Here are the exact products I used:

    Delta Creative - Ceramcoat all purpose sealer (seal the sword before painting)

    Paints:

    Delta Creative acrylic paints
    Empire Gold
    Walnut
    White
    Black

    That's it!

    - The blade was painted with a mix of black and white to get a nice light grey.
    - The handle was painted with a darker grey with a small amount of walnut mixed in to give it a grey/brown colour
    -details gold!

    Then get a semigloss sealer and you will be good to go!

    Sturdier? I am not sure what you mean. It is very strong, the sealer is put on it to smooth out the WSF.

    It is actually really easy. My paints were gold/black/white/brown. This was my first time painting a model too!

    I know a bunch of people got their swords recently! I hope more of you take some photos to share!

    I don't care how much it costs. I just want a Leader-Class scale version of this sword for my Cybertron Optimus Prime to wield and unleash hell with.
