"Here's Johnny!"

This weapon was modeled for the GameBanana 2016 Halloween Skinning Contest.
This is the iconic axe that Jack Torrance uses to break through the door in the movie The Shining.
The most sharp-eyed will notice it's a bit less shiny than in the movie and the wood is a bit darker. I decided to give it a slighty more rough and damaged look to avoid keeping it too simple, plus super shiny reflective metal doesn't work very well in some games, such as L4D2.
Keep in mind due to engine limitations the blood will not always be visible on shiny metal surfaces, nothing I can do about that I'm afraid. :)
Enjoy!

- Replaces the Fire Axe from L4D2. - Modifies models & textures. - Uses HD 2048x1024 textures. - Uses default animations. - Includes custom blood texture.
