As promised a small update for y'all today - following a 500-mile trip around the country on Thursday, including the always delightful NEC in Birmingham and the world's best katsu curry in the Trafford Centre, Manchester, I ended up having Friday off of work. And I was not idle...
Talking through things with my friend Scott about his Ezio-inspired costume, we decided to take a slightly different approach with the armour. The plastic mannequin pieces are on hold due to time constraints, so I had to go in a different direction.
Going through the patterns, I decided to use one from the excellent Crystal Anvil book, produced and sold through Lederkraft Studios at www.lederkraft.com. Not content to build it as printed, I made a few alterations on the fly and came up with my own take.
So, small update, but here's where the "Ezio" is up to now:
I have a step-by-step for the shoulder armour to do, more to follow in the coming weeks as we hurtle towards the Comic-con deadline including the fix for my coat's hood, holsters, belts, boots, trousers and hidden blades....
Speaking of which, got mine finished!
Regular service will be resumed on Wednesday.
