In this part of the tutorial we finish the sword by adding the details and painting it.

Next we do the various detail pieces. These are all pretty easy. They are parts 5,6, 7,8, and 9. So trace those out onto foam board and cut them out. Most of them you should make two of. The template tells you which ones to make two of.
We are going to glue all those pieces onto the sword but they are rather thick. So lets reduce them in thickness by cutting them right down the center of the foam. This way you end up with pieces that are half as thick as normal foamboard. This will look much better.
You do this cutting in half for all the pieces except piece number 8. For that piece you only cut the center section to half its original thickness like the picture shows here.
This next picture shows you where to put the detail pieces. And flip the sword over and do the same on the other side.
Now add a wire like this. This is a nice detail. It is glued on both ends with hot glue.
Now let's add a crosshatch pattern to the handle grip. I did this with a ball pointpen. Not so much for the black lines but so I could press firmly and make the indents. The lines are about 1/4 inch apart.
So n0w let's paint it. Here is the color scheme that I used. You can of course paint it any way you choose.
You finish off the sword by adding the blade lines. I put mine at every 3 1/2 inches and I drew them with pencil.
And that's it. Your sword is done. Be sure to send me a picture.
