ITS BEEN AGES!!!!
UPDATED AT THE BOTTOM!!!!


I first off love AC and those time periods... and i've had a soft spot roman style armor as well so the Armor of Brutus from AC is a natural progression with its meld of the two styles.
This Cosplay is being made for myself. I decided that i want it to be as close as i can get to the Games version but ith subtle tweeks to kind of make it my own. In the end you will be able to tell directly it is the AoB from AC. and you will notice differences.
The Armor is all FUNCTIONAL. thats right.. i could take a hit from a sword( slashing NOT thrusting) while still maintaining as much of the mobility as Ezio could have "possibly" had. The weight will be a slight issue as I am a 5'10" 155lbs dude... I expect about 20-30lbs of leather work alone plus the Garments, They will be correct look but not Period correct cloths. as I will be using this mostly outside in the summer months I prefered to use lighter more breathable fabrics.
The Leather work is being done by a very good friend of mine Lance from Cowboy Leather Inc. (no site yet)

(some pics are pre-dyed)

Thanks, Lance is very good. this is his first time doing armor though. I think he has done well! we will at the very end make a saddle as well that is based off the same armor for my horse that of course is down the road

Re: Assassins Creed Brotherhood - Armor Of Brutus

thanks everyone.. this weekend has been busy i hope to have some updates this week..
we were going to antique it but decided against it and will just go the natural route and just continue to oil it and wear it to give the same look

The Armor of Brutus was the one that had the fur and required a bunch of seals or keys to get to, right? That was my favorite in the entire series, can't wait to see it completed.

Re: Assassins Creed Brotherhood - Armor Of Brutus

Wow, those are great! I did a lot of leather work in my early teens as part of my education (I want to an arts and crafts based school, not that I appreciated that at the time :lol). Are those patterns really painted on the panels? They really look like they've been wet stamped :thumbsup

Re: Assassins Creed Brotherhood - Armor Of Brutus

NO the patterns are not painted.. they are TOOLED into the leather. so pressed and cut by hand
the silver dye/paint is to simulate metalic look.
