Drac Report post Posted May 13, 2010 Holy Crap that's a lot of work! Those look very cool too! Will they be dyed a color or kept fleshy? -Andy actually, it's not that much work. figure out your pattern, cut it out, mold it on a form, dye, seal, done. except for punching holes and adding straps, of course. mostly just time consuming from dyeing and sealing. thanks for the compliment! the first one's actually is dyed. dyed the whole thing, then went a little heavier to highlight the musculature. just need to punch holes, seal and add straps. the second's getting dyed right now. Very nice indeed, sounds like your gonna be very very busy for a few days. danke! yep, busy busy busy! not sure if that's good or not! *L* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck. nah, they're all gonna be just the chest piece with straps and a small back plate. everything had to be done cheap but still look decent for the camp.

Mokosh Report post Posted May 14, 2010 How old are they? It could be a really funny group photo with 70 kids all dressed up with the artificial 6-pack breast plates. It would look like the children's version of the movie 300! lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted July 21, 2010 the complete set of councelor and prize armor for Camp Half Blood (a literary day camp in austin, tx put on yearly by the store "book people" and based on the "percy jackson and the olympians" series of books. yep, the same series that the movie "percy jackson and the lightning thief" was based on, which was book one of the series).
