Re: New Armor


Come on guy, you gotta make it blue and black. Unless you have a special colour scheme you're making your garb that would horribly clash with that.

Re: New Armor


this makes me wish I didn't fail at everything and could make some armor for myself.

Re: New Armor


That doesn't look like a particularly complex construction. Nothing really overlapping except for connections, nor complex patterns. Though I know nothing of leatherworking.

I like the simple and clean look of it, and can't wait to see it on the field.

Re: New Armor


The pattern I chose was super simple cause i have never done any leather working before either. I learned a lot while doing it and my next set will be more a littel more complex but still its all about the same.

Re: New Armor


Nice nice. What weight of leather did you use?

Re: New Armor


Did you harden your leather? If so, what method did you use?

Oi, is unhardened leather even allowed for armor?

Re: New Armor


my leather armor is unhardened. it's layered, which is legit.

if you want to harden some leather, amnomnom and I have done a lot of research into it and know what's up.

Re: New Armor


Layered like using a scheisse ton of thinner pieces of leather?
With the research I've done, it doesn't seem ridiculously difficult (excluding the wax method..it looks scary) I'd just use hot water. The only issue I have with that is shaping it. I'd probably try to slap it right on my arm, and burn it or something. emoticon Then my mom would yell at me.
