I've finally decided to tackle this project that's been on my bucket list for quite some time. Using a set of screen-used armor as a template, I've been making a new set of masters and I'll be molding them shortly. I started with the lower back section, then the waist/belly section, and I'll be knocking out the chest/shoulders in the coming week. Here's a few progress photos:
I'll be putting in an order to have the little metal strap plates cut out of steel to match the brackets riveted on to hold the straps in place. Kits will include all of the necessary nylon webbing and plastic buckles and sliders. The armor itself will be cast in a durable urethane foam pigmented to match the color of the armor set I have here in hand and backed with fabric for added durability.
I will also be offering helmets once I finish the masters. Those kits will include the chin strap.
Raw cast armor kits will be $350 plus shipping without the helmet and $500 plus shipping with the helmet. I'll need a non-refundable 50% deposit in order to add you to the list. The final 50% plus shipping will be due when your kit is ready to ship.
Once I have the molds finished and post photos of the first set of castings, I will be raising the price. So get in early and save some money.
If you'd like to get in on this run, post a comment below and I'll PM you with payment details.
