The Armour Archive

LOL, sorry.....had to tell someone I managed to do it.....

I'm working on a project for my sister and wanted to do something other then 4:1 for it so I got looking at DC's site there and found the walkthroughs for all the weaves and decided to give this a try and it worked......

and it's pretty...... the precioussssssssssssssssss LOL

Good job.If its the one you got pics of on your site it looks wonderful.

uhhhhhhhh, nope, that's a Persian Char-Aina.....

Full Persian is a maille weave that I thought was going to be a pain in the arse but really isn't once you get going with it.....

Lots of squires and knights have chains made with this weave.......

rock on!!! i agree the weave looks like a chinese finger puzzle to figure out but once you get the pattern of it, it just flows. try the 4-1 half persian next...

birdcage is a fun one as well...

oh, by DC to you mean DeCordene? (sp?)

DC and yes........

I plan to try some other weaves eventually.... It end to learn things as I need them if that makes sense......

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, my brain hurts now.....

I'm sitting here looking at this length of fp I made, then looking at the triangle I made for a friends' maille bikini top of euro 4:1.... and got to thinking.... why not mix the two !!!!!!!!

The end result looks pretty cool and aside from the excessive thinking on my part and headache I think it will work out just fine.....

I'll try to post some pics this weekend once I get the other "cup" done and attached to rest of it......

sleep deprivation makes wierd armour.........

"then looking at the triangle I made for a friends' maille bikini "

For God's sake, remember to post pictures of the end result on the test subject, please! Ho, ho, ho...

Good job with the mail... I've never done anything mail in my life... (Only been at this for a year, so, I'm not too bad off!) I guess I should try something next week, maybe:\

Merry Christmas!

Here's progress pics of this so far..... aside from the bells and finishing the full persian straps it's perty much done..... the straps won't take much time but I have to wait for the bells and clasps to get here.....

Yes, my desk is a mess and the glowing blue light is my computer........

Ohhhh thats just gonna look soooooooooo cute on you.

Watch it man, I can easily strap this onto you next weekend and take you out to fighter practice in it......

Hmmm I might get a little cold in it though...ya think?

Here's some updates pics of it...... I put it on my new girlfriend btw. One of those mail order bimbos that never talks back and won't run off..... the girl this is going on has a much smaller chest then the mannequin does so it sits kinda funny on it....

All that's left to do is the chest strap and it's done, I'll try to get pics of the girl in it when she comes over to pick it up.....

You know, between you and ABHammer, I'm getting really jealous.

Nice work, though. I really like the edging chains; I would've never thought of that.

So the girl came over to try it on...... and her first comments were,
"You can see my nipples through this" at which point I just smiled......

She then decided it was "Really f@$%^ing cool" and felt good on her skin........

So now once I finish the chest strap and get the closure for it I'll have some pics of her modelling it. You really can't see her nipples unless you catch it at the right angle and are right on top of her so it's kewl. I'll post the pics off site just to avoid problems.

Maybe I'm missing it, but what material are you using?

Now for the see-thru "problem", with a flat triangle there is always the , smaller ring solution, the 6-in-1 solution, or use a liner. (I know, "boo... hiss").

bright aluminum, and we wanted the see through factor

To reiterate, I hate you.

It's good to see new and interesting projects, though. I could use some projects like that, but there are a large number of women in this town I'd rather not make these for.

Man, I am with you on that....... kinda like spandex is a privilege not a right.........

Here's a pic of the gal in the top..... it was a wee bit nipply outside so this was taken inside..... just wait till it warms up........

Bah...Wulf I still say you put too many links in it. Guys trust me it looks even better in real life

Some of us who read the archive at work would appreciate a NSFW or "suggestive material" tag in the title if you are going t post pictures like that.

LordWulf, can you steer me in the right direction for a GOOD pattern for a tab maille shirt? my wife just got her tabs in today from DC. Thanks

Actually, thanks for reminding me, I need to make an online tutorial for that as there are other people wanting to do it as well.

Cool, I'll be watching for it. By the way nice bikini top. My wife is making a halter in 4in1 for the straps and a Persian weave for the cups. Her first, looks pretty cool.
