Armor Time!

Postby Forkbeard » Mon May 24, 2010 3:29 pm

I am now making armor full time. If there is anything you need for Bel, I can make it.
It's been a rough start, but I'm ready to start taking on multiple projects. I got nothin but time and leather.
I'm developing a base line standard for prices. I'll post it soon. It's on par with the general prices around the net.
I'm also working on a website of my * own.
Please PM me if there is anything I can do for you.
Thanks

I plan on getting some armor sometime soon. First off I need money though, but I also would like to learn how to make it as well. You wouldn't mind teaching me the basics of leather-working would you?

well quite honestly the only armor protection I don't have is on the chest....and the only thing I could have there would be a Darth Vader chestplate :D

That was for the whole torso, without lights. It might have been low, too, as I donm't usually buy soft leather and need to re check prices for it at the appropreate thickness.
I could do lights, but I don't know how much they cost. I know where to get 'em, though. Those Burning Man folks are handy.
For just the chest peice on straps, it'll be like $200. The straps probly wont count as armor.
You may behave well on the field and that might get people like me to treat you with sportsmanship and respect on the field, but, your insistance on being a super dork won't ever make you any friends. Old sayings are usually true. The clothes make the man.
Why can't you be original?

*Note* A Sith Lord would, in my estimate, have to come forward in time as The Star Wars Saga happened a "Long Time Ago, In A Galaxie Far, Far Away" Can't remember the timeline off-hand, but i believe the whole SW epic was supposed to have happened some 3-4000 years ago.

That's the idea ;)
traveled forward in time and lost my lightsaber, so I had to use the primitive weapons of the era :D

And Fork, I wouldn't need the straps to count as armor, since I'm mostly covered with it anyway, the only exposed parts are chest and back, I've got my shoulder's covered. If you've seen the pictures of my armor before, then I'm sure you'd have some insight as to how to best incorporate the chestpiece with the rest of it.

If you buy the camera equiptment with a pencil/wire type camera dealy, I'll build a helmet around it. Probly about $250. There will be alot of design hours.
Check out what I made.
The more facelike one is sold but the other is up for grabs. I'll dye it in your colors and do some fancy trim work for $50.

How much would you charge for something like the helm below? Just trying to get an idea of how much I need to earn before October (My goal is to cover all target areas with armor before Samhain).

Karesh, I'll talk to you about it at Chaos.
Probly about $150. It depends on how much detail and how exactly you want it to match the picture.
The lenses might not work, they fog alot. We can try it, though.

It may just be me, but that doesn't look like legal thickness in the photos I looked at. Might want to be careful before buying LARP armor since a lot of it is for looks and not thick enough for our rules (just from what I've seen, I may be wrong...)

And that means no good? Sorry, but i know the thickness regs, but dont know how that translates to oz. Either way, the question about it being made and the cost still stands.

You generally want like 12-13 oz if I remember right.

Noik is correct, 12 oz. leather is the absolute minimum to be legal in Belegarth.

For reference, each ounce of leather is 1/64" thick. Therefore:

As you can see, 7 oz. leather is 7/64" thick, which is less than the 3/16" required in the BoW.

That helmet is a piece of ****. There were like 4 at Chaos. A guy from my realm bought one.
The leather is thin, but everything but the face counts as armor becuase it's doubled up. I re-sewed some parts of his becuase it was falling apart when he got it. I also studded the face.
I could make you a decent helmet for $75. It will be a viking type spengen helm with a nasal.
If you want somthing segmented and full head covering like that, it'll be about $150. I'm not a pakastani child laborer.
Thank you.

Well, thank for letting me know. I hadn't ever seen them close up, and it's good to know they are bogus. I was only at chaos the last few days, and don't remember having seen any. I'll steer clear. I was just hoping to find a helmet that wasn't as so common. I'll just save up for the plate piece I've been looking at. Thanks for the info.

Remember full rigid metal helms are illegal.

Yep yep. It's not a bucket head or anything. Thanks, though.
