I’m not sure what the appropriate name for these is, so bear with me. These have been cut out for a couple of weeks, but I haven’t done anything with them. I’ll blame my overbearing headache. Today I really got a lot done, I finished the pauldrons, and these. I’m very excited that I’m finally…

Still have a stiff neck 🙁 It’s very painful when I get up and towards bedtime. Most of the day, it isn’t too bad 🙂 I fell asleep with the cat on my chest the other afternoon, when I got up I was really hurting. I cannot sleep on my back! I always have neck…

I’ve had them cut out and pieced together for about a month. I got lazy. I’m better and got lots done. Almost all of it was done today. I started by texturing them with my handheld sander. Then I painted them with one coat of black, covering it evenly. I painted the inside with one…

It is done!!! Wow, it looks like I forgot to post quite a few steps I painted the inside, and like the way it looked, but forgot to take a picture 🙁 I spent quite a bit of time deciding whether it was done or not. Finally decided that it needed more of a textured…

I haven’t done much, I’ve been having trouble with headaches and that makes it hard to concentrate, understand things, or even think straight. I am feeling better, and am having some ideas. A hurricane is headed this way, so I wanted to make sure I had some things to do even without power. I picked…

I cut the pieces out, but I’m not happy with it. I am thinking of modifying it. A gorget is the part of the armor that protects the neck and part of the chest. I am thinking of making a foam piece that covers the neck and making chain armor that covers the chest. I…

Cut the shoulder pieces out and put them together. I need to shape them, then start filling in the gaps before I can paint.

Started painting the helmet, I’m excited. I used a sponge to put on some black acrylic paint. This is after the first layer of paint. Looks kind of crappy, so I put on a second layer. Looks much better, just need to paint the inside. Then on to the gray to make it look more…

Ran out of PlastiDip, tried to order more in bulk, but they want more than twice per can than I pay per can. I’m buying multiples of the single instead. Weirdness abounds. My helmet is looking better, I think I’m going to paint soon. Hubby wants me to decide which character I am doing, but…

Sanded the edges of my helmet today and put it together. Mixed up my 2 A pieces and glued them wrong. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. See why I’m not happy with the way this worked? Had to cut those 2 pieces out of the helmet. Contact cement is no joke,…
