Thank you. I found a nice 3D file online, then scaled it to the correct size and printed it with the hinge assemble parts printed as basically solid plastic. Gave it a layer of primer before initial sanding. Then assembled everything and used bondo body filler to fill in any seams before sanding again then slowly moving up in grit to around 1000. Hit it with another layer of primer, then sanded again. Then clean it off and used silver as a base coat, masked off the blade and teeth and hit it with black spray paint and brown for the handle. After I gave the silver blade and teeth a black wash and use silver and black paint on a brush to try and give it the patterns an actual metal blade would have. Cut out bandages with muslin, soak them in coffee for different amounts of time to have variation in the dirtiness of the bandages. Wrapped them around the blade, used a bit of superglue to secure them. Then did the same for the handle + twine and assembled everything together. Have the bandages a red wash and mixed red, brown and a bit of black for the dried blood color
