In this part of the tutorial we complete the building of the dagger and paint it.

Part 1 of this tutorial is here

Glue the handle on.

Then glue the guards on.

Cut a one and a half inch strip of foamboard. Remove one layer of paper then wrap it around the end of the handle. This creates the pommel.

Now let's cover the handle. You have some options here. If you don't have any leather or cloth you can just paint the handle brown. I did mine in two steps. First I covered the handle with black leather.

Then I wrapped a piece of brown vinyl over that. This vinyl is self-adhesive but very thin. So, with the two layers I have a nice soft handle that is the right color.

Let's Paint it

Paint the internal spaces on guard black.

Then paint everything else silver including the blade, the pommel and the part of the guard that isn't black.

And that's it! Your Skyrim Steel Dagger is done!
