Members Oldtoolsniper Posted August 21, 2015 Members Report Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) It truly amazes me what people see in a piece of leather, I see belts, holsters, and sheaths and you see Middle Ages battle armor. I'm impressed by what you have done. The chain mail and other metal parts really bring the whole chest piece together. Even your rivet placement Is well thought through. Well done Sir!

Members Memorymode Posted August 21, 2015 Members Report Posted August 21, 2015 Amazing! And great carving work on that Green Man! Did you make the pattern for the armor yourself? Quote Maybe Bob Ross can show me how to make that extra mark a "happy mistake."
Members TheGrinningDwarf Posted August 21, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you very much everyone means a lot to me ! Yes ,through a lot of trial and error and fitting i designed it i used manila folders to trace the design out with , they are cheap enough and large enough to make most pattern pieces with and they hold up well. Designing it out is probably one of my favorite aspects of the whole thing haha! Quote https://www.facebook.com/TheGrinningDwarf
