Shield. No real movement here. I contacted someone to redesign the artwork. Bugged them a couple of times but I don't want to seem like a pest so I will use what I have here on LJ. Things to be done:
- Add a basket. I have one around here somewhere or I will just go and buy another one as they are fairly inexpensive.
- Glue painters cloth on
- Burnish
- Jesso painters cloth
- Paint device
- Acid dip the plates (6-8 hours end to end)
- Mock up the shoulder / neck hole with inexpensive fabric
- After the pattern is right cut out in leather - leather purchased
- Order or pick up 550 parachute cord from an Army surplus store
- String plates and leather shoulder harness
Legs:
- Research or create a pattern for leather uppers
- Cut out pattern
- Design a way to hang the uppers
