Description
Well...its my new Warhammer high elf helmet (its new cos I just finished it, not because I have another one XD)Again its actually a steel helmet but the steel is invisible so thats why its in leatherwork (I usually put steel under all of my leather because we play with Hitpoints in Denmark...and leather sucks when it comes down to hitpoints ><)
-Ontop of the steel helmet I gave it the wanted shape with foam and fiberglass. All thats visible is leather in various thicknesses
...now I've got about 1 month to make the rest of the armour... -.-
-YAY! a DD...Thank you very much for that...and of cause for all the comments ^^

I want to push the envelope of what I can do on every new project. I have lots more armor ideas other than dragon stuff. I learn from others all the time too.

Out of respect for the craft and craftsman, I'll always try to make my wheel a bit different. Thanks for sharing such amazing work!

Even if most part of it made of lether, it is not clear how this parts attached together... Π‘onfused

well since its a steel helmet underneath it wont move at all. That means many of the layers are just glued on to the steel. where it was necessary to have a firmer bond it was either stitched or riveted or "pinned" with the brass rods. (you can see the stiching along the edge of the side-wings and the rivits on the star and the bird)

That is simply stunning. Wow. I would leave a more substantive comment, but I'm rendered speechless.

I see. I seriously doubt that I'll ever be this good, but hell, I'll keep trying!

Wow ... I'm doing leatherwork myself (basic stuff, since a couple of weeks) but I've no idea how to do something like this.
Where did you learn to craft so amazing pieces?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ehm...well I think you need to give it a little more time then a few weeks
-I think I mainly just learned it by doing it...alot...for a long time
