I'm jumping on the early crusader bandwagon....because they are awesome. My design is pretty straightforward, nothing too crazy.
So as you can see my color scheme is brown....and brown....off white bone color....and more brown. My main, and possibly only, weapon is an axe. All the armor will be made out of sintra, with the spikes and stuff sculpted on with epoxy putty. I think the gauntlets I had in the 1st two designs looked too much like fantasy so I changed them to straighter plates with spikes on them. And I think my axe will look more like the first design instead of the one in color.
So anyways, just showing concept drawings would be no fun so here is what I have done so far. I found a roman style pepakura helmet and modded it to look the way I wanted, then did the usual fiberglass/bondo/sanding to get it mostly smooth. I didn't make it fully smooth so when I do the weather later the paint will have some nice crevices to rest in. Then I used epoxy putty to sculpt the ridges on the head. I had a bag of teeth sitting around from when I made a predator costume a few years ago so thats what I used for the horns. I know it's not symmetrical but I can live with that.
I'm waiting on more putty to get here so I can finish the helmet.
