[Blog] Dear Armor Diary,...

Post by Feromar »

Hey guys!

I'm a long time lurker, only posted once in 2012, but I always enjoyed this forum. So I thought I use this thread to show you guys what I am working on currently. And to not trash the forum to much, I just keep this thread as my "diary", that's why the weird thread name.

So if you have any questions, just ask! I think it will mostly be a photo diary, but I welcome every discussion :-)


First some stuff I made the last years. I do have the WIP photos of most stuff, so I can post those too if needed.


Sallet for my imperial soldier (Sterntower Marksmen Wissenland), LARP is pretty big here in Germany and people are quite serious about it. 1.5mm mild steel and velvet leather

The rest of the armor:

and this is from the event

I also made most of the armor for the rest of the group

really cool. What type of group is this? its good to see steel armour with open faces. Reminds me of Warhammer Fantasy.

We are one of the many regiments in the imperial camp at the Epic Empires in Germany. One of the largest Larps here. We are part of the storm troops, with heavy armor and shields.

Superb! As an ex Empire player I do admire the detail.
