Wonder Woman - Leather Sword/Whip Baldric

This is a little different from some of my other projects since I'm not doing the whole costume but I though it would be fun and educational to try.



I found all the references I could and came up with this for the initial mockup. There's still some adjusting to do but I think it's a good start. You can also see the first mockup of the side pieces done in leather. There will be a couple straps on the back to hold a sword and a strap on the side to tie the whip down.







Here's my final template for the side pieces and for the belt tip that goes over the shoulder which I have done in leather too. I think I'm going to use the color of the strap with the pointy end for the final version. Also picked of some Sam Browne button studs and other hardware.







That's all for now, but more to come soon.

Don't know if you saw this (I have it on Flickr), but I shot this at Warner Bros last summer. It's from the earlier film.



Good luck with your project. Off to a great start!

I have a WW WIP going for my daughter right now. Going to be making this harness as well. Good luck.

Thanks! I've been looking at some pictures from that event (possibly yours). It looks like they changed the belt slightly for the WW movie but it's harder to find good pictures of that but I've been piecing the design together from both.

Cut some straps out of a double shoulder of leather I got. Dyed them up and got them attached to the end pieces. They are riveted on then a top layer of leather is glued down to cover the rivets.




Painted em up and added the button stud and stitching to the front and center.

I'm a little caught up here because I haven't figured out the final lengths of everything and I can't really do anything else until then.

I'm working on this as well! I made a pattern out of foam using some screenshots from the Wonder Woman movie and just when I thought I figured out the back from the blurry low res images the Justice League trailer came out and confirmed the pattern I had made! Hope these screenshots help out.
