Now I need to get paid so I can go get the side of cow...I have almost all the tools I need, just not the consumables (dyes, leather, rivets).
Helm is going to be a dome instead of what I have shown. Still going to have the mask & jaw on it. Going to put a 14g bronze chain "skirt" on the back of the dome to protect the bottom half of my skull from missiles (and to make it look flashier than plain old leather or steel chain.
The greaves have scales riveted onto the shin. It's not too easy to see them in the poster board. I need a little more protection there and I don't want to go steel. I figure 2-3 layers of legal thickness leather should be enough to prevent welts.
The shoulders are going to be detachable from the torso via a buckle on the shoulder and a strap on the torso. I want to be able to take them off when I decide to shoot.
Hip plates I'm going to bake so they curve. Same with the top shoulder piece.
Photos of the leather pieces can be found below.
