ArtS Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dom Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
