Members Dom Posted August 1, 2008 Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 This is an armour I make for a friend ... It should be finished in a week or two. I will add borders and make a red/brown color. Quote

ArtS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 That is awesome! What thickness leather did you use? Did you mold it on the person then tool it? I'm very much interested in the steps you take to start something like this. ArtS Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything.

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted August 2, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted August 2, 2008 Awesome job, great wook on all the tooling, must have taken hours. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
Members Dom Posted August 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 Thank you answers to the questions : I will color the whole armour with antique finish (Tan) and then add red and brown It is 3 and 3-4 mm leather The work took 30 hours (and it's not finished) I made all the tooling before I mold the pieces on a dummy. The guy is the same size (and circumference) as me... so I modified the pattern of an armour I've made for me (the one below). Quote
