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
Schno Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 That is going to be beautiful. Color me impressed! I'm going to be starting on my own soon. I think I'm finally getting over the apprehension. Quote
TomSwede Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 This is a really cool piece of armour and I can't wait to see it finished! Tom Quote
Members Prince Posted August 1, 2008 Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 That's really nice. Will you add color to the knotwork? 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

Members Storm Posted August 2, 2008 Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 This is some most excellent carving and craftsmanship!!! SUPERB! Storm Quote
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
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
Members jammon Posted August 2, 2008 Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 The tooling is VERY impressive! Quote
Members trastu Posted August 2, 2008 Members Report Posted August 2, 2008 impressive work. I love the color. greetings Quote

Members BradB Posted December 14, 2008 Members Report Posted December 14, 2008 WOW that is AWESOME!!!! Very well done!! So how much leather did it take to make that and what weight do you use? Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah that is great looking. Thank you for posting the finished product. That tooling looks like it would take forever just about. Quote
Members Greybeard Posted December 15, 2008 Members Report Posted December 15, 2008 WoW!.... WOW! That is some real nice artwork, Quality all the way.. Very impressed (and slightly jelous) Quote
Members MatthewD Posted December 15, 2008 Members Report Posted December 15, 2008 Just wondering how you would store a piece like that during the times you were tooling up till you were done... Quote
AndyL1 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 That is the nicest, coolest piece of work I've seen in a long time. Very inspiring! Thank you. Quote
