As cool as the armor that came with Konnor and Viktor is, it does pull on their beards and Viktor's hair. I decided I will put the plastic armor on the basics and make custom armor out of felt. I drew up a pattern and started sewed up the armor. Gotta add the details such as the red edging and silver studs which I will do sometime soon. The pattern for Viktor's Armor. Konnor is a little bigger so I had to make a larger pattern for his armor.  Just a test to make sure his armor fits well before I cut out any other parts - looks good!  Pinned together and awaiting detailing. (This way if I screw up the details I can just cut out another piece)  To be continued after a trip to the craft store... |

Great idea man. Looking forward to the finished product.
Is this your first time making accessories for your figs?
Also, will you be making custom EDDIE MONEY tickets for the guys?

I did make a custom kendo stick a while back. I took a bamboo chopstick and whittled it down and added some masking tape. I had a thread about it ages ago but the link broke. Oh well.  I have also done a mini breakable table but is looks like poo so I will wait till I perfect that to make a thread. Haha I probably could. All I'd have to do is make them, size them tiny and print. (I bet you they sold those tickets and went to a grindcore thrash metal show) |

 Stitched the ribbon onto Konnor's armor. Took me like 3 hours to do all that. Next step is to stitch those panels on and then we start on Viktor's armor which will be the same process but with the panels on the opposite side. |

Finally finished! Took about 5 hours to stitch up in total. (I just sat and watched an entire baseball game while working to keep myself from going nuts.) The edging too the most time to do but I think it really looks nice. Always good to have a project complete.  From the side you can see the layering better.   |
