I am sure there are some out there. I don`t tend to do replicas as you need a the licence to sell them if you make more than 1.

Hmmm... Interesting idea. Although, i do know one thing, i really need to get one of the leather crafters to fashion me a new quiver... my arrows chewed holes in the last one...

The idea was to make different details so you can customize the armour. So the shoulder plates have plain version. I will be making a dragon version, griffon, undead, and lion. When I eventually get the chance

That is amazing! Veryyy slick and the metal finish is beautiful. Mind if I ask how you achieved the finish?

Thank you very much. The finish is done with chrome paint. Its all in the prep. You have to have a jet black pure gloss finish to spray the chrome onto.

Ah brilliant, I have always used cold casting or sponge method for my metals but I have to give that method a go on the next build. Thanks!

what did you use to get such a good metal finish on GRP?
also what is the semi-flexible polyurethane you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use a chrome paint. There are plenty out there. The quality of the finish is all in the prep. It has to go over a perfect gloss black.
I have been using poly plasti flex by nottcut but I don`t think its good enough. I will soon be getting a Graco machine.

It is used alot in the film industry. It sprays ployurea resin which cures in 7 secs. The resin is very, very tough but flexible.

It's breathtaking. Are you going to make the Griffon Knight's armor as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much. I made the dragon armour which was sort of ment to go with it, but I am working on another suit now which also could work with it.

I can't wait to see it. I am starting to work on armor as well. It's rough to start but so far it's coming along nicely.

Well I look forward to seeing it

It means Glass reinforced plastic. Basicaly fibreglass. Sorry I have been doing this so long I forget that not everyone will know what I am talking about

Anyway, great work!!!

Wow that is a very nice helm! Great work
How well does GRP hold up to abuse? Will it handle hardwood impact?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hi and thank you. GRP is not to bad and I have taken a few hits and it held up ok, but I did drop mine and broke it. I have started using a semi flexable polyurathane now and that is fantastic.

Pardon me for cutting in, but that semi flexable polyurathane...A gauntlet made from it, would that be flexible enough to move your fingers?
