I have the thigh pieces and bracers cut out, just have to start smoothing edges and texturing. I was starting to freak out because Halloween is in October! This is the end of August, there is just September in between! Only a month to get it done! Total freak out!!! After a week or so…

Now I get to paint, this feels like it is really coming together. The first layer is just covering the whole area smoothly. After that dries, I use a sponge to fill in the tiny holes that were missed. Instead of smoothing the paint like I did on the first layer, I squished the paint…

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…
