:D

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thank you, glad you like it!

Agreed lol

There is a high likelihood of a samurai series on the horizon but it will be with a fantasy flavor like all my work, not historically accurate.

Oh yes!!!! I'd like to make my own samurai armor but the images on Google aren't what i'm looking for. I'm not that creative to think of it myself so i'm very excited to see how he would do it.

That's all good to hear.. I've seen versions of star wars as samurai etc. Ass long ass it has plate armor and knot works all good that's what resembles samurai in my opinion

@@Princearmory And if your original fantasy set was any indication (two style options, one simple, the other with more fantasy flair), I see no reason why a Samurai/fantasy set couldn't be customized by its user to be more historically correct.

@@LadyAmanita Well yes, anyone can always take a design and spend the time to make it more to their preference.

Thanks! 😃

Good to be back!

Thank you!

Yeah, definitely do!

What measurements did you use for the pauldrons? If I can get the width of the top piece correct, I can figure out the others.

Thanks, I wouldn't say easy but we got it done.

Yeah I have a big soft spot for video game inspired projects and as our patreon and youtube memberships grow it is something i hope to do a lot more of. I will probably stick to the games I'm familiar with myself but anything is fair game.

@@Princearmory Glad to hear it! Thanks for the response :)

AND I NEED TO OWN THE WORLD IN NEAR FUTURE.

Well, you've come to the right place I think!

@@Princearmory Thank you I have been on a long Qwest for the right gear and I see I may have found it here. Good to know let's keep in touch.

Yeah, I made mini versions of some armor pieces in the past for some amusing displays at renfest. And some of our students have resized them for dolls and small kids too.

To some extent the laser does it, it's just not as slick

The fantasy armor series can walk you through making a full suit of armor with very little experience needed and provides many options for tools

@@Princearmory Thank you for the response. When I write functional I should clarify. I mean is it fighting worthy or how much protection would it provide?

@@Wolfedog It's functional, and if you're making it yourself it is obviously completely up to you what you end up with. You can use thicker leather for more protection, as well as harden the leather if you're really wanting it to be solid. If you're actually planning on fighting in it, you should consider padding under the armor to reduce bruising.

@@Wolfedog I wear a suit of the fantasy armour that I built every week at my LARP, it provides good protection and mobility plus it looks awesome as well

@@Wolfedog That depends on how you build it man. If you use thin leather, not so much, if you use thicker leather and harden it, then quit a bit. There is a balancing act for each person to find their own preference. Some students are adapting the patterns and making them with steel too.

I have seen folks wax dip their pieces, darkhorse armory does this some. Most pieces get a acrylic top sealant , Resoline is the most common it seems. I think any leather shoe waterproofing conditioners work good too. I'm a hobbyist beekeeper so I like to slick and seal my edges with real beeswax. The non grain underside, flesh side is trickier with water proofing. You can glass panel slick it with Tokenole or wax I believe to help with weatherproofing but it makes the leather a bit thinner all that rubbing and compacting. You can probably also "hot stuff" the leather by adding wax and using a heat gun to melt into the leather, adds some weight of course. Black Raven Academy in the UK has their own blend of water based stains he claims has a built in wax for water protection but he also still recommends using sealants. I'm still a noob but this is what I've learned so far from my studies.

Thanks very much! Sadly they are unavailable, at least for me :( will check at a later time again

We're not, but I'm sure someone has.

Watch the other tutorials, not every tutorial will be the same.

I just did! I gave you the ability to make it at least!

@@Princearmory yes that ability went straight to my brain 😁
