i have made my own armor for this larp and have found i have a nack for making it. and now im working on making one for another player, so im putting out the offer to all that i am willing to hand craft any type of armor for a reasonable price. i am doing this with a very low personal gain other than pride of my workmanship. so if there is any interested plz send a message and we can work out what i can possibly do for you. i also like to say im hand crafting it all and will make it completely custom to your specific design that u give me. thank you and cant wait to hear from you.

Maybe you could post some pictures here of what you have made so far?

a few things :

I wasnt sure but I think some of your endges are a bit sharp (an easy fix ^^)

I see you're useing stove pipe for your armor, might I suggest ordering sheet metal online or getting it from a hardware store, same amount of effort , better weight and you wont have that nasty crimped edge .

other than that it looks promising!! Just remember its alot of work , I have a buddy of mine whose been at it for a few years now(he used to play KB) and hes always finding new and invintive ways to improve his work (and injure himself , if you ever meet him ask him about the time he almost chopped two fingers off with a hatchet! I took his stitches out...)

Yes that part is made of stove pipe but i actually was recycling an older armor i never finished but i have been useing sheet metal for all my other parts. There was only alittle bit of stove pipe on the arm gaurds the stuff was for my own charecter so i used all the scrapes i could. Yet i have only been doing this for almost a year
