Brotherhood Build 1

So far I haven't taken many pictures of the build, but I'll upload what I have so far.

 I thought that getting boots was going to be a horrific ordeal, but I found these at goodwill for 4 bucks.
 The start of the belt.
 More pictures.
 Unifinished front.
 Mostly finished top.
 Finished the top part!!
 Hidden blade engineering.
 Pauldron. Just put the paper template I made under it so you could see the wire better. No armature mesh anywhere in town, and I didn't have time to order any.
 Vambraces.

 I'm aware of the flaws it has^ Hadn't started the swirl level yet.

 Everything nearly finished.

 Pauldron brooch.



Finished!!

As it stands, I still haven't taken pictures of most of the sewing, it looks really pretty though. The pauldrons and the vambraces are drying outside with the halo armour now, after that I'll sculpt all the stupid details.

Ezio's entire shoulder getup thing. I'll probably make some low-quality molds and cast the two smaller pieces since they are literally everywhere..

Nearly finished belt. There are way too many leaves, and im not even done yet.
 I actually dropped and cracked the pauldron in several places before I even got to paint it. Still too shiny at this point^
 Way too shiny. You can also see where it got hurt. :(
 Unfinished back.
 Vambrace was still too shiny.
 Cat likes sleeping on my expensive Ezio fabric, lol.
 Vambraces, finito! Just strapping and some backing, now.
 Back of the pauldron. Much better looking and more weathered. Still not too happy about it, but whatever.
Front of the pauldron. Yeah I know, my sub-par sculpting skills...more to come..

  2. I first used the base of a wire mesh, and then sculpted on top of it. I still have yet to make molds and cast them, but that's an easy way to do it. All it takes is some skill with a paint brush and no one can ever tell. :P

  4. Apoxie sculpt. It's pretty expensive but works really well. Although depending on what you use you could use another type of clay.
