One of the unique things about this sword project is that we form a crease along the center line of the sword. This makes it look like a real sword. But it also gives shape and form to the sword, making it much stronger. It is not just a flat sword.

And I also show you a neat painting technique that makes the sword look like metal.

The painting scheme

All you need is black paint and silver paint to do this. And you can use a light grey paint if you don't have silver.

 

 

Materials and Tools:

 

The template

Print up the template and cut out the parts. There are five parts, six ifyou consider the round medallion above the Nightingale's head.

 

 

Tape together parts one two and three to form the major shape of the blade.
