I won't be posting to lemmy anymore. I was using liftoff, and now that that's dead I really can't be bothered to learn another client. I post most of my content to my instagram now. If you are interested thats https://www.instagram.com/chamrsdeluxe

I also still post to reddit /u/marc815 (I know, evil) every now and then to a couple communities that just don't exist here.

Good bye lemmy peoples. Really enjoyed sharing and discussing my outfits and armors and props with you guys!

I will check on this post for the next day or so at least tho to say bye to those who kept tabs on my stuff.

If this makes you sad, hopefully this can cheer you up.

Fun

No potions, cloaks, hoods, baubles. Just trying to see how the surcoat will lay with my breastplate and what mods I'll need to do to achieve the lay of the blue surcoat seen in the inspiration armor.

Woohoo

The helmet is currently in the basement. Waiting for the base cost to dry before I can finally start weathering!

The armor is full steel. I have just painted it to look worn and "experienced"

Can't strap the breastplate solo without longer straps lol.

Fun fact, the breastplate isn't small, solitary breastplates are sized like this so the wearer stoll has full range of motion. If it was any longer you wouldn't be able to bend or lean.

Jammies are also on. Couldn't be bothered to change into my trousers.

speaking of legs, I made arming points for the leg harness and they work GREAT!

This Wenzel bascinet isn't my main helm for this fit even though it would be more historically accurate to this style of armor.

My armet just isn't finished and painted yet, but that will be my main.

Also omitted is the maille skirt I have on order and the cloth layer of the armor.

Just wanted to see how everything sized up.

Looks much better.

Widened the eye slits with a rotary tool and the initial sanding and priming are done.

Now more sanding, bondo and sanding and priming etc.

I'm already working on modifying it.

I added the nasal between the eyes in the visor.

Before pic

After pic

Adding a plume holder soon, a strap and will be painting it to match the rest of my armor.

Very happy with it!

Incredible year. Any questions, or anything, feel free to ask!

This time my armor was heavily inspired by Elden Ring, including the cerulean and crimson flasks.

I've named this iteration Astor the Tarnished.
