Since this was planned as a whole armour but wasn't possible to craft it all at once, I decided to make a copy in EVA foam to keep and keep working on it even after deliver this pieces. That means using the leather armour to mould the foam copy... or the prev one since this is still strapless!
Pic of the red leather armour corset put on the adjustable mannequin, sandwiching both the front and back parts of the corset pieces in the measures of the black armour corset to mould it Pic of the red leather armour cuirass put on the fiberglass male mannequin sandwiching the back part of the foam cuirass copy with the measures of the black armor cuirass Inner view of the front pieces of the black cuirass copy in foam, put on the black leather cuirass itself to mould it by hand since the volumes are not exactly like any of the mannequins Pic of the foam copied pieces on the black leather cuirass, facing down and the front of the black corset used to force them a more curved shape while the foam cool down

Also, couldn't help take a comparative pic with my leather OCS cross, and I find it so funny that they are exactly the same size!!!! <3

I'm pretty impressed by 2-years-ago Saira, all the pieces where perfectly tucked and fine, and there was even a bit of space for more things
Pic of the big suitcase open, only 2 big boxes wrapped in fabrics, 2 small boxes, a raffia bag half filled and a leather head visible Closer view of the raffia bag, a couple of winged bracers, a mannequin hand and the back of a piece of leather the only things visible Closer pic of one of the big boxes, only the bottom of a couple of bowls and a vase, all in leather, and the side of a dark green plate Closer pic of the other big box, only one side of the facehugger and the top of the plague doctor mask visible

The horse heads, the singularity of the pommel, the filigrees.... One of those designs that haunts my mind and despite it being a challenge it felt like a natural step in my leather skills. It's been 6 months of slow progress in my free time but couldn't be happier with the result
#leatherwork #lotr
Collage of 6 pics of different stages of the hilts' shaping. The first shows the top layer of the guards tooled on the leather with the shape of the ring beside traced. The second shows both hilts assembled, 4 layers of leather glued together, the handles carved and sanded roughly, the pommels only traced with a pen on the block of layers, and the tooled layers of the guards missing. On the third, the tooled layer is glued to the rest, the pommel is roughly carved in the trapezoidal shape and there is a piece of leather with the final layer of the pommel tooled and still uncut; one of the hilts is facing down showing the back part where the strap will be attached and the stud is placed in the pommel. The three pics behind show the final aspect of the hilts unpainted: a general view of both hilts, one grabbed and one on the cutting mat, a very close up pic of one of the horses neck, the textures of the filigrees and the mane at the external border; and a pic of the corners of the pommels, an almost hidden part from most of viewpoints, with more filigrees carved with a pyrograph Collage of 4 pics showing the moulding process of the blade/straps. First, both straps side by side, one undyed and only the fullers carved along the center, and one black with only the edges moulded downwards. Behind, both pics of the straps making an eight loop to show the maximum possible of the volumes, and both with the fullers and the edges completely done. And last, a very angled pic from the hilts, the belts resting on a bed, with the lightning heavily from the side upwards to show the volumes of the pieces when they will be assembled Collage of 8 pics of the painting process. First, two pics, one of the hilts and one of the straps, only painted in white on the most prominent volumes. The second pair of pics shows a black layer on the nooks and crannies and most of the surface, but the most prominent volumes still white. The next pair shows the first layer of metallic painting, dark bronze and thin silver. And the last pair shows the final layer, a lightly darker and a brighter golden for the hilts, the handle already dyed, and a glowing silver for the blades Last collage of finished work, both belts laying stretched on the lawn and pic taken from above. A close pics of the hilts and part of the blades, light difuminated from behind. A close pic of the tips of the blade/straps, the longest slightly darked than the shorter. And both belts placed around the waist of a mannequin but showing the back part with the brights and shadows highlighting the volumes of the edges and fullers

Muchas gracias! Fue mi segundo yelmo, el primero hecho a medida, y me lo pasé genial haciéndolo
All 5 different parts of the elven leather helm dyed in green, with only the frontal part riveting all the parts together The two rows of leaves that decorates each side of the helm, the one in the left only marked and cut, with the veins of the leaves tooled but plain. The one in the right is also moulded. Both are still unpainted All the three rows of leaves (both sides and the one on the forehead) painted in bright yellow, before the different colour shadows applied Pic of the helm finally done worn by me
