Two pics of my kit from last weekend

Post by Rainald »

This should be two pics from the kit I wore at the event in Tokyo last weekend.
If you go here: http://photos.yahoo.com/rainaldk2
and look in the yahoo album they are labeled "blackhole event" and blackhole2" or something close.

Let me know what you think.

Have you tried to document that harness?

Thank you for the nice pics. The popup advertisements are overwhelming.
Do you have a server?

I like it a lot, but I've told you that. Didn't you have a helm with a visor that went with the green man theme? Also, get some damn greaves on there!

Nope, this one was done just for fun so to speak. I know I can't nail it done to a specific time period but I wasn't trying to. I have a gothic and transational kit in work for that. I had this very plain breast and back laying around and wanted to try my hand at some repousse work after seeing some posts on Negroli and some of Ugos work. Hence the face done on the breastplate. It was fun trying to figure out how bring a design out with out screwing it all up.

After the breast plate was done I tried to do a grotesque visor for a helm in the same theme. I did it in stainless and it can be seen in the same link as the first pics if you go to a album named "like fat..". It is hinged on top and attaches with a slot/turnkey arrangment so it can be completly removed from the helm.

After that I figured what the heck... and continued the face theme with the brasswork on the spaulders, besagews, elbows and knees and tassests. It's gaudy as hell but the whole kit is protective.

Brodir; I do have full greaves and sabatons I wear with it. Just didn't happen to have a picture of it taken with them on last weekend.
