Whats the estimated time frame for shipping?

This is very much in the development stage so don't have a time frame yet.

A question. We are trying to have the collar made like the original using tiny glass beads, however if this is not possible would wire bullion embroidery be an acceptable substitute?

Personally, I'd probably rather bump the price up than go with the bullion embroidery, but it does actually look quite good. Realistically, I'm in either way, but my preference is beads

 

[Scout91]

Also interested. Please put me on the list!

I'm so into this. Put me on the list. I'm in!

 

[Foe Hammer]

Watching with interest.

I believe the smaller size #150 mesh is used on this and not the more commonly available #210

As I've looked into making my own for many years.

What is being sourced for this run?

 

[Magnoli Props]

The chainmail ring diameter we will be using is 3.8mm.

Currently waiting on samples for the collar so I will update where we are at in a few weeks.

I would be 100% interested in purchasing this too. Count me in!

 

[Magnoli Props]

OK... So it has been a while, as it turns out making Mithril is not that easy!

We tried to have the collar made with glass beads but the time to produce this makes it impossible to supply as a run.
So... we have moved to hand made bullion embroidery and would love to know your thoughts on this.

Below is a mock up what the collar looks like and we have digitally added the mail and a few gem stones to give an idea on the end result.

 

[darthwhitey]

Looks great to me!

 

[eethan]

oh that looks great, good job!

 

[mrwax]

Agreed! That looks much more like the beads than I thought it would. Well done!
