Uhm, weekend? What weekend?
This is my self-obligatory post - just to make myself a little ‘motivated’ to work on what I actually planned.
On the armor-making project:
I’m off to a slow start. I tinkered around manila paper and rubber sheets last Saturday early morning and eventually came out with two depressing-looking pieces that are supposed to be leg armor. and those two are for one leg only. Sheesh. I also made a mistake by measuring my leg without the boots on - my cut was a little too small for the boots. I have this idea to have eyelets attached to the sheets to make it easier for me to wear and to allow me to adjust the size armor without re-cutting it. I have to finish cutting the leg and chest armorso I can bring it to the shopo on Saturday.
Also on the armor-making project: a great idea came to me this morning - instead of detailing the armor with tiny rubber sheets, why not use masking tape instead? Ideas ideas.
On the greco glue:
The shop was closed last Sunday! I have to pass by this one of these days to get that glue. Now, I could just use rugby for my project (worked for mt Princess Emeraude chestplate). But I need something that dries fast so I can see the shape of the armor right after applying the glue. Good luck to me.
