The Armorer wip
« on: Dec 21, 2020, 11:17 AM »
Hi everyone. After thinking about it for a long time, I have now decided to go for the armorer  ;D. I have started by getting a pattern of the coverall and bought dark grey cotton fabric. I have also bought a sheepskin that I will dye. I hope I will get feedback during the process.

Some updates about my WIP.
My  large forging hammer got painted in silver and the armored plate covering for the toe got painted dark brown.
I have done one of the dark brown suede-like gloves that ends in a burgundy cuff near the elbow. Still have to do some light weathering.
It´s hard to catch the right color of the items with the camera.

Thank you so much, happy to hear   :porg2:
Now it´s time to start with the helmet  :'(. Since we only have a small 3D printer that only can make 15x15 cm (centrimeter) pieces, I have to make the helmet of 11 pieces. I´m so excited. Wish me luck!

                                                     (just a suggestion)
fiber glassing the inside will help hold it together and give it some added strength.
