Is that yellow or white acrylic paint in the double lines by the tri-weave border? Does the double ranger belt attach to the cuirass or is it a stand-alone belt for sword and/or axe? and finally... LOL, How man hours do you think you have from start to finish? You should change your profile from " Specialty:Armour mostly but no pro. " to " Specialty:Armour. " Great work! Thank you =) In the tri-weave i added a soft copper paint and did a patina run on it to. Was supposed to be gold, but that would not have been fitting for the larp character. The belt is a separate piece and consists of a 10 cm wide base belt with tho 30 mm belts ontop, fastened with massive copper rivets so they wont fall off the base belt when you move. If you look at the side, there is a leather loop with a metal ring in it. That´s for snares or small game when hunting =) The time for this from scratch took about 40 hours give or take =) Making the armor plates and cutting them out and all that took about 8 hours so the rest is all with making the details and painting and adding patina etc..and the painstakingly handstitching of the leaf pieces on the shoulders. 7 mm thick leather basically so even with premade holes to stitch in, your fingers will die...many times over Aww..haha... thank you for that specialty compliment =) I´l be sure to fix more to add here soon and more armors as well =) 14 hours ago, Steve75 said: Nicely executed.
