My Amazon Armour (well it will at least be similar...sortof)
My Amazon Armour:
Colors:
Mainly Red with Black Accents
Padding:
Breasts: female fencing breast protection
Abs/Ribs/Kidney: athletic rib protective gear
Shoulders: lacrosse shoulders
Thighs/Groin: women's hockey pants with cup included
Shins/Knees: hockey shin gaurds that also cover the three points on the knee (if possible)
Elbows: elbow pads that cover the three points on the elbow (if possible)
Wrists: wrist gaurd things so that the vambraces don't rub my skin raw
Hands: weight-lifting gloves
Leather parts:
Bodice area: lightweight leather cuirass with shoulder straps that buckle to the bodice(mainly for looks and to hide actual armour)
Shoulder covering: Special bat wing like shapes in three layers on each side (this is attached to the shoulder straps on the bodice
Belt with attached fly-away skirt: studded belt (hopefully) with a Xena-like skirt made of strips of leather
(thin leather)
Elbows/Knees/Shins: thin light-weight leather to cover and hide the athletic gear
Upper arms: decorative 2-3in armband that buckles shut (thicker leather-same as the gorget and shoulders)
Lower arms: red vambraces with scales on them
Gorget: thick leather (same as shoulders) with the same type pattern on them to match
Cresent Sheild (like the Greeks used sometimes)
Did you know that Amazons fought at Troy to kill Achellis (don't know how to spell it) but they were defeated?
Amazons were one of the first people to fight on horses and were at first feared by all who came into contact with them?
Did you know that Medusa was once a beautiful Amazon?
