There's a craft shop on the upper level of Stephen's Green shopping centre, you might be able to find what you're looking for there!

Assuming A&H means Arts and Hobby shop then thats whats in Stephen's Green too.

Try model shops for plasticard. Ones to check out are Mark's Models in Hawkings Streer and The Model Shop in Capel Street.

Try the one in Jervis street, its about 4-5 times the size of the one in Stephen's Green.

As for wher Capel Street is Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=the+model+shop&hl=en&cd=1&ei=XbeuTJjYM4bSjAfot5muCw&sig2=kuhCfCVUOfvOWqXBgQcbfA&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=5595241818326305632&iwloc=A&ved=0CB0QpQY&sa=X) is your friend.

You could maybe go into a local supermarket and see if you can take some of the boxes they display fruit and veg in.

They're normally sturdy enough cardboard.

But maybe make 2 daggers in case one gets damaged!
