Captain of the Anarquendor - part 3
Jun. 9th, 2011 12:44 pmLast time I showed you all about my progress in making a gambeson mock-up and you received a sneak peek at my chainmail. I promised to tell you more about that in the next installment.
( Promises, promises... )
And that's where I was at last night!
What still needs to be done:
- The front armscye needs some more shaping done, as part of my boob is exposed still. This I can do.
- The gold-coloured aluminium scales will come in at the beginning of July. I will make scale sleeveheads and work with a European 4-in-1 weave at the bottom of the sleeves so ease of movement is maintained. I have plenty of green rings left for the sleeves, and I'm no hurry. If needs be, I can do this after Drachenfest.
- Once the gambeson is done, I will wear the maille shirt over the gambeson to see if it fits or if it needs extra room. I'm quickly running out of rings, so I really hope I don't have to make it much bigger.
Stay tuned, for next time I will have finished the gambeson, and boy that is a story to tell as well.
