thx Report post Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Took a class at the local Tandy in Columbus to make a Roman Lorica Segmentata and decided to steampunk it up a bit. The spaulders were liberated to make the raised collar, a number of strips from the stomach area were shifted to the rear to give the impression of a raised waistline in the front and coat tails in the back, and I added painted leather 'lapels'. Also made an Armored Cuff, a Geared Elbow Couter and a 'gramaphone' Horned Pauldron. I hope to wear this to more than a few 'cons' and a western/steampunk LARP called Exiles we have here in Ohio.

Studio Apocalypse Report post Posted May 3, 2012 The gear pattern on the shoulder pieces is a creative look, is it some type of stencil work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrdabeetle Report post Posted May 3, 2012 All that nice leather and your revolver is tucked into your belt? Surely something can be done about that. Great work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thx Report post Posted May 3, 2012 The gear pattern on the shoulder pieces is a creative look, is it some type of stencil work? Yes. Its a full sheet stencil I found online a while back. Its nice because even the stencil border fits nicely into the design. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thx Report post Posted May 3, 2012 All that nice leather and your revolver is tucked into your belt? Surely something can be done about that. Great work! Good idea. I have a shoulder holster I made for it but that doesnt fit with the armor. Ive been wanting to do a belt holster so will add that to the list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
