In this part of the tutorial we do the ornamental work and the painting on the handle and the pommel.

We are going to ornament and paint the handle pieces first. start by cutting all the lines you drew. Just cutting the top layer of paper and some of the foam.

Then run a toothpick through all those cuts you made. This opens up the cuts.

Then open up all those cuts further by running a blunted pencil through them.

Looks good!

Do this same process on the two pommel pieces.

Trace the template onto them, cut, toothpick then pencil.

Let's paint these pieces. You have a couple of options. I will point them out.

Paint the handle pieces black.

Then paint the lines silver like this. The silver goes inside the lines you cut and a little bit outside the lines too.

Paint the pommel silver then do the detail work in black.

Alternate color scheme: You can reverse the colors. Paint the handle silver with black lines and paint the pommel black with silver lines.

Next cut out the space between the wings of the nightingale.

Then cut out the emblem.

Lets put it all together!
