I then started by doing the parts if the handle firstly because I knew this would be the hardest part of the modelling. I began just using the beizer tool annd going around half and then added the lathe tool.
With this part of the swords handles was difficult so I used my normal beizer and then lathe but I deleted the middle bit so I was left with the top and middle bit then got back to the handle part nearer the end.I then continued using the beizer tool and lathe on the rest of the swords handle.
