Spartan War hero armor set from Assassin's Creed Odyssey

I used two displacement "filters" or modifiers as we call them in Blender and later applied car body filler in a way that supports this bumpy, imperfect texture. Same thing with powder.

Polishing bronze vambraces today

Front torso - coated with copper powder and then polished. Needs a lil bit more work but for the most part the shell is ready .

Looks fantastic! Can I ask how are you applying the copper powder to the surface?

Fixing hinges - the big one is v1 for which I was hoping to use hole spots from the original game model which was dedicated for laces. Sadly those would not work due to alignment issues so I made this hinge/locking pin solution similar to what I have on the sides

V2 - now I can round the corners, give it a bit more beat up look with hammer/metal tools and then maybe treat it with acid to make it look more like the armor.

Side locks WIP - also a bit custom solution in comparison to the game model, but the original one would not even physically work so this is as close as I can get. Thought about making it two sided in each section but it's a lot of extra work that would not provide any additional security.
I might do it anyway later since it would look nice, for now it's enough. Those holes a bit more spread apart are for leather laces.

Any further progress on this?

Oh man, it's been a while... Recently got myself a dedicated workshop which finally allows me to have a proper space for prop making. When it comes to Alexios - I'm working on the final version of hinge locking system. Here you can compare old and temporary with the almost finished stuff + some step by step picture

Good to see you back in business, and with a new workshop. Looking forward to seeing more.

Another update - lower hinges are not as tightly packed as the top ones which I will later fix but for now I just want to get those copper sheet parts ready. Also waiting for copper rivets to arrive from China (for some reason they were hard to get in my country).

 

[cassius]

Also 3d modeling this 4 feet tall shield. Prabobly gonna print as a mostly empty shell which I will fill with expanding foam.

This is sick! Love this project!

 

[cassius]

Only need to add those small rivets and I can start sculpting battle damage. Fun fact for those who never played the game - those shields were not available for the player. Only NPC warriors had them so in a way I'm fixing this weird error of playing a shieldless spartan

 

[cassius]

Done with the hinges. Riveting will take place a bit later once IM sure the finish is what I want
