This is my favorite costume from the LOTR trilogy. I've always liked this costume
since i saw the fellowship at the cinema. So i've finally decided to give it a
go, hopefully it'll turn out ok. I plan on getting the UC elven warrior items,
the sword might be a problem in the UK but the helmet and shield shouldn't be too hard to
get (just expensive) I plan on making the armour from 1 -1.5mm plasticard with
rubber edge trim for the beaded effect on the edges and leather. I know you can get a bead
roller to do the same job but i don't want to spend £100+ just to use it once.
On to the pics, i only started this yesterday and have pretty much got my
chest and bicep templates done. I ran out of card so i'll try and get the
hip/thigh armour and the bracers done this week. So far this is just card
and brass split pins to hold it together.
Chest armour.
Bicep armour.
Chest with Bicep (roughly attatched)
