Would be excellent to have some helmet and arm-guard patterns.

It's popular to use Kenji and Japaneese signs in the patterns and I found a little translation tool online which might be interesting for carving: http://kanji.saiohgama.com/ Tips: Change the font color to #000000 to get better contrast. Attached an example of the word "Dragon"

Wow, this was a nice little thread! Special thanks to lazybum for the real pattern :-)

Seems they work together with another royalty free site: http://www.clipartof.com/

Stumbled upon this today when searching for a pattern of some wings, they are all royalty free and vectorized so you have BIG pictures that could be shrinked to desired size: http://logos.co/new-pg2 Many are outline and would both fit for using as tattoos and carving patterns.

Nice one! Not for me though But intricate design.

Very nice looking! What did you use for a frame in it ? Hmm, isn't it NFPA approved ?+ Strange

Cute! Very "girly" and nice! Nice braiding! Roo and in Kangaroo ? Would love to get my hands on some of that!

Very nice, getting some mixed signals though, knuckleiron (is that it's name?) and love ? That is some hard lovin

Looks nice, some kind of Inca/Maori design ?

Very nice! Like the look of it ! Where u from ?? "Hundservice" that is DogService in Swedish....

Very nice, maybe would have wanted a bit more contrast between backgroun and image but that might be the photos BTW - Do you use Checks in the US still ? I don't think I have seen a check in 15 years !!!

I like the top one, very nice details, especially on so small area

I suppose it's handcarved or if it's massproduced they create a stamp for it all.

Looks great! Is it confortable? WHat kind of leather did you use as it can't be to stiff if you would like to fold it together. Wouldn't it be nice to have a pattern on it related to the excavations (spelling?) you are doing ?

Reviving this trhead after seeing Ian Atkinsons review the other day. Ian Atkinson Youtube clip where he talks and show stuff he bought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckfDgtCRhb4 GoodsJapans youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoodsJapanJP GoodsJapans Homepage: http://www.goodsjapan.jp/

If you would like good quality irons I saw a youtube post with Ian Atkinson the other day where he bought Japan made stuff with good quality but cheap. Free shipping as well: Ian Atkinson Youtube clip where he talks and show stuff he bought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckfDgtCRhb4 GoodsJapans youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoodsJapanJP GoodsJapans Homepage: http://www.goodsjapan.jp/

Nicelly done, might do some more work on the jaw part and some dyeing to make it more "worn" What kind of helmet you have to it ? In the original mask there are also pins over his mouth but that might be unconfortable :D

Looking good! In all things i do I often go in to hard on the subject and once again it shows that a bit delicacy is better A question on the topic of Copper Rivets - Will they not stain and turn green as copper normally does ?

Thank you magKelly for this wonderful tutorial! I copied it all to a document to be able to print it properly when trying it out myself so though you would like it as well. If you want me to change anything or remove it, please just tell me !!!! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxZTN_InJhJMcFBQcnRrVE15dmM/edit?usp=sharing
