Trust me pet, Listen to your mother, It's a scary world out there! So protect yourself from the Ruffians, thugs, poison Ivy, and quicksand, now you can be the bad guy with Mother Gothel's Dagger, available to download below!
The print comes in 4 pieces, which makes it much easier to paint, and is really easy to assemble with the included pegs which help to ensure the pieces line up properly when gluing. I printed the blade using silver PLA and printed the handle pieces using white.
To paint the handle I made a 50/50 mix of Valejo Bronze with Valejo Silver, which creates a nice metallic brass tone. I painted the upper and lower parts of the handle with this, and mixed slightly more bronze into the paint for the darker swirls, then for the lighter swirls I used Valejo Bonewhite. Finally I used Arteza metallic Space Gray for the upper handle rings.
Overall it was a pretty easy print, when fully assembled the Dagger measures about 32cm long and took less than a day to make in total. I'll definitely be adding a lot more Disney weapons to the page over time, starting with King Triton's trident, coming next month!
The end of the month post is next, then tomorrow see what we have in store for the rest of April!
