The templates, trash can armor, and stuff were from the Dented Helmet... I'll ask them if it's ok to either re-post the stuff here, with credit, or to post links *to* the threads over there that have the info.
As for my stuff... :twisted:
Here's mine so far. This piece was creamed by a semi, and was left on the side of the road for a few weeks before I salvaged it. It's some kind of aluminum alloy, and pretty hefty at 1/8 inch thick:
And I made a rough cut of the left breastplate today:
Lots of work to do, but there's an official start for you guys 8) |

Here's an update... I still have to clean up the shapes, round the edges, most of the corners, and then the back of the plates will have a *thin* layer of closed-cell foam after I shape them to add some cushion and keep them from cutting into the leather undervest, which will also be armor-grade leather.

I was going to do something a bit different with the chest diamond, but decided to go with the traditional rectangle in the center instead. |

So far today, I made a planishing stake, re-surfaced one of my happers, and pounded out the breastplates:

Ordo, your's is looking amazing! Purple and silver look really good together.
And for my armor: I have my trash cans, and I intend to print out my templates at Kinko's soon. |

| Yeah, they both look promising. Crix, Novall, and Josh (Ordo), I'm writing a piece of fan-fiction and I would love to base characters on you. Do I have your permission? |

Go right ahead! :D I have some notes on my character if you want them.
Mmk...
Sec'rix'lernus (Crixler) is a Chiss that wields a lightaxe with a repeater built into the haft. He was born on Talus, in a small city called Mina (Or Myna, I don't remember. It was my guild's city in SWG back when I used to play). Hmm... So that's some of the basics. And I have thought of making him play an ocarina, 'cause I love Zelda games lol. But yeah, I guess that's all that's important. I had a bit more, but it was for a fanfic that I was working on and never really got into... So I guess you're free to do quite a bit! ^_^ |

Lookin' good so far, Crixler 8)
Time for another update... I broke my saw, and had to go get another one
I decided to do something a bit different for my collar, since it will be attached to a gorget and I need it to be more flexible for fighting:
And continuing with my color scheme:

| Woah! I'm really likin' your colors, Ordo lol. And the collar is pretty cool, too. So what is it you plan on using it for? Sword fighting? |
