Wow. As a leatherworker myself, I can hazard a guess at how much time all that custom tooling took, and my hat goes OFF to you, sir! Phenomenal achievement.

First, you have to know that's leather-crafting is my job =3
It took me 1 month to realise it, but that's not my choice... I couldn't sell a Yoroi like this, handcarving this much, under 3000€. Yep, this is not "cheap" ^^'

By the way, do you make armor like this as a comission?
How much would that be?
I have a project, that would require a very detailed samurai armor...similar to this one.^^

Yep, I can make armor as comission. But, for a Yoroï detailed like this... The budget is huge.
I could not sell this armor is less than 5000€

Fragrach In reply to Bear-Crafter [2011-11-16 19:12:32 +0000 UTC]
Then 5000€ it is...I'll have to save a while for that, but quality has it's price.

Fragrach In reply to Bear-Crafter [2011-11-17 01:23:50 +0000 UTC]
I thought that already...this degree of detail takes a lot of time.
By the way, how long does it take to create something like this?

That certainly explains the price...definetly worth it.^^

I think I'll contact you again, as soon, as the character, who is going to wear it is complete...aiming for some kind of tiger beastman, with a lot of padding to add enough muscle mass. XD

Thanks...the greatest problem with things like this is allways to find someone able to create armor, that doesn't actually fit human anatomy.^^
And if you mention something like "blue japanese inspired armor with gold details and dragons"...most people doing armor here would likely run away. XD

Bear-Crafter In reply to Fragrach [2011-11-21 16:01:19 +0000 UTC]
It not make me run away =x
Like the Lolcatz says: "This is relevant to my interest..."
As a Minotaure-maker, I think I can craft this kind of armour =3

Fragrach In reply to Bear-Crafter [2011-11-21 17:51:46 +0000 UTC]
Then I'll have to craft the character, because I can't take measurements without it beeing finished.^^
I'm looking forward to cantact you again, as soon as it's finished.*g*

VERY well done. I live in Japan, and I attend a lot of events and stuff and I've never seen something so beautifully put together. My SCAdian/Leather working/Japan-living soul appreciates your work to the enth degree.
