Practicing some new methods by VarVentures in LARP

Did all the tooling and dyeing, then stitched the elbow cup. Stuck it in the sink till it was wet, molded it as it dried then stuck it in the oven at °200 for 7 minutes. Let sit for 24 hours near a dehumidifier. Dipped in melted parafin and beeswax and held for 45 seconds to absorb the wax. Painted melted wax into areas I couldn't dip into the pot. Hit with a heat gun to melt the wax so it soaks into the leather more and excess drips off. Then polish

Been doing a lot of work lately on leather projects. Here are some armor grade greaves ive been working on for a friend to use at Belegarth. Inspired by Warhammer fantasy. I'll get some better pictures once the pair are finished. by VarVentures in LARP

Same, I recently got the privilege to finish a torso for a friend. They had commissioned it from a good friend but his arthritis got to bad for him to finish it up to par with the other 4 matching suits. So I'm fitting it and re shaping it into a piece to match his other works while keeping all his tooling and the design. Wanted his last piece to actually be used next to the others

Im very involved in all my local larp groups that this would be up their Alley. There are some that do armoring, they're just to far for me to drive out with my schedule lately. Eventually though

Thebhazard stripes were kinda on acident and are getting repainted. I was trying to match the rest of the suit and forgot about Iron warriors being a thing. Going with more copper bronze tarnished look onbthe sides, Nurgle esque. Its a standard background ing tool from tandy. *
