The armor is full steel. I have just painted it to look worn and “experienced”

Can’t strap the breastplate solo without longer straps lol.

Fun fact, the breastplate isn’t small, solitary breastplates are sized like this so the wearer stoll has full range of motion. If it was any longer you wouldn’t be able to bend or lean.

Jammies are also on. Couldn’t be bothered to change into my trousers.

speaking of legs, I made arming points for the leg harness and they work GREAT!

This Wenzel bascinet isn’t my main helm for this fit even though it would be more historically accurate to this style of armor.

My armet just isn’t finished and painted yet, but that will be my main.

Also omitted is the maille skirt I have on order and the cloth layer of the armor.

Just wanted to see how everything sized up.

    Frankly, and from someone who is a complete noob with anything cosplay, I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed with your passion for this. I’ve seen all sorts of flashy costumes, but yours is somehow more real. Keep posting! Keep adding and show us! You’re fuckin’ killing it!

      Thank’ee kindly! I would love to someday get sponsored by one of the vendors of this stuff and do reviews and content creation for this stuff. Would love to turn this passion into a way to earn a living instead of breaking my body in a factory.

      I really appreciate your kind words!

    This has been my favorite Lemmy anthology thus far. In years, only real ones will know about these posts

      Lol. More to come as well. Still gotta modify the surcoat to go better with my inspiration for this kit. Carian Knight from Elden Ring. I have a black surcoat I am going to modify to look like the blue surcoat on this guy.
