Sword story

My story for the sword is that it a special blade for a hero, the blade stays sharp for years after it is forged, even with wear on the blade. Also when the handle gets damaged or needs replacing, the blacksmith always uses a bone from the last person that the blade has slain. it gets bound by leather and buckles and resharpened whenever it gets a new handle.

Summary:

years of fighting have marked the blade
Human bone, shaped handle
leather bound hilt with buckles

Below I have included some pictures of what worn blades might look like, and also a leather bound handle.

Ship story

The story is that the ship is a frieght class ship that has been converted into a medical ship. There is some wear all over because of the debris in space, and there is also a lot of wear on the bottom of the ship because of reentry into atmospheres and landing in precarious locations to help survivors on unsafe planets. It has been on over 200 missions on its medical career alone, so has been repaired and repainted a lot of times. The paint is red and white and has medical symbols on.

Summary:

medical ship, red and white
some wear and tear
a lot of tear on the bottom

Below are some pictures of worn boats, because I think these are the only real life objects that could acuratly represent the worn paint of a space ship.

Crate story

The story for the crate model is that it is used to carry precious artifacts around the world. It has been used many many times so it is a bit rough on some of the sides, especially the bottom where deep scratch marks can be seen. at some point the crate needed to have some extra protection so a layer of a foam like substance and wood were glued to the bottom.

Summary:

some wear on the sides
layer of foam
deep scratches

Below are some picture examples I found on the Internet of what I am trying to convey.
