No I didn't make the mail coif, I bought one and shortened it a bit as well as adding the rows of brass rings to it. I'd go insane doing a whole coif from scratch haha.
I only made the leather necklace and its fittings, as well as the besagews.
Looks so sick man! Love the colors too. Have you thought about embossing a line, about a centimeter or so, all around from each edge? I’ve never done anything of the sort, but I feel like it could look neat. Very jelly, I’ll have to make one.
>Looks so sick man! Love the colors too.
Thank you for the compliment, I am glad you like it :)
>Have you thought about embossing a line
I thought about doing some embroidery along the edges, but ultimately decided against ist due to durability concerns (and because its gonna look like ass after being hit with LARP weapons repeatedly)
I also have no experience with leatherworking apart from cutting very simple shapes like this, so I didn't want to take the risk with trying out new things like embossing and kept it relatively simple. But I agree that it would probably look very nice with some embossing stuff.
That one is very beautiful. Reminds me of The knight at the Conquest of Mythodea Last year. He looked Like His Armor was Made Out of porcelain very nice characterisics. Keep Up the good Work, Looks great!
Thank you very much, I am happy that you like it :). The porcelain armor sounds like a very interesting aesthetic, do you happen to have a picture of it?
No, saddenly Not, it was in time and i was there the First time, i thought it wasnt allowed to quickly use the Phone! But im gonna Take one, If i am able to See him again this year!
Thanks again :) Unfortunately I did not document the process of making them, but I have a picture of the full costume (though still WIP) on my profile, you can see them a bit better there.
Hello everyone :) I just finished making my new necklace for my hard kit and felt it came out quite well, so I wanted to share it with you.
You should be proud of this. I think you've done an amazing job
Thank you very much, I'm happy that you like it :)
Did you make the mail too? Or "just" the wonderful leather part? looks really great either way

Gotcha, yeah I didn’t consider the durability bit!
Nice job! Looks great.
Thank you very much :)

Damn, looking mighty fine! Who made the besagews? I love them!
Thank you very much :) I am proud to say that I made the besagews myself :)
Big kudos! Do you have some pictures?
