Bracer I whipped up for my partner who didn't want to wear her metal ones, made for Empire LRP in the UK from 8oz

Working on a matching one but with metal scales sewn on. It's taking a wild amount of time

I really like the look with those metal scales. I think it will be worth the time involved.

Yeah, it defenitly adds a nice layer of Detail. It also gives it a bit more on an elvish look.

That looks so darn cool! I need to make myself something similar now.

And it's finished! Annoyingly it seems to have some kind of grubby stuff it's rubbing off on itself but it cleans off easy

These are amazing! The grubby stuff from the scales just adds character. Did you use rings to attach the scales or sew them on?

Just sewn on! Here's a WIP to give you an idea (the border is held on to check how it would sit - I sewed it on at the end)
I would stick the scale down with blu tak, then use an awl to mark the on hole location, remove the scales, punch the holes, and then sew that row and repeat
Time consuming but made sure they sat right. If you could definitely work out the distance between the rows that'd speed it up but I wasn't confident I wouldnt make a mistake
