Sorry lads, been cleaning the oil off it today

#

Will be putting it on sometime here this week

#

I had had to order the boots to go under the sabatons yesterday. Those should be here within a week

#

And I got an armor stand coming too 💯

granite locust
#

I thought that they were usually worn like. On just the chausses (they're like big socks lol) or with small Lil shoes

#

Speaking of which

#

Do you have clothing?@topaz mica

topaz mica
#

I just call them boots cuz the go up the ankle a bit

#

Ye I’ve got tights (👀) and I bought a gamberson but tbh it’s waaayyy too thick so imma need to find another

#

I’ll just wear a monotone long sleeve under until I get another gamberson

#

I’m finished gettin oil off about half the set. I’ll do the other half tmrw night

#

Shit takes so long ngl 💀

#

Oh I’m just gonna wear some normal cheap brown slacks unless I can find something good

topaz mica
lavish plover
#

looks decent yeah

#

almost a perfect fit i'd say, maybe a little small

topaz mica
#

Ye it’s not as buffered out as I was hoping

#

Pretty good for 500 bucks tho archerapproved

#

Should look fitted better with the rest on. I’ll do that sometime this week

lavish plover
#

yeah for that price it's well above anyone's expectations

#

depending on what the full harness looks like when worn, i might look into it for myself so i have something before i finish my intended harness

topaz mica
#

I’ll link it here in a bit for ya

#

A week ago there was like 4 but now only ones left I think. The legs are a separate purchase but on his store as well

granite locust
#

This guy not only found something good on etsy but also got it for 500 bucks...

topaz mica
#

I honestly thought for a month I was going to get scammed

#

The greaves kinda really fucking suck but the cuisses are really nice

#

So I’ll just skip the greaves since they don’t even fit. They’re like FO4 super mutant greaves 💀

topaz mica
#

Obviously the advertised armor is much better but here it is

lavish plover
#

yeah the nice thing about that armor is you can forgo parts of it and it'll still be reasonable and historical

#

mull art cosplay moment

#

oh it's on a limited 60% off sale, shit

granite locust
lavish plover
#

nope, broke

granite locust
#

It's my time to shine.

lavish plover
#

topaz mica
#

granite locust
#

Clavicles on this armor stand are a bit narrow sadly up it still holds

Eyes reveal in armour when

topaz mica
# granite locust what happened to his other leg!

I had them both on but it looked horrendous and receded so I just took them both off lol. I need to find a way to add like a peg in the midthigh so it buffers its placement. The bubble wrap was killing its aura lmao

granite locust
topaz mica
#
