FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have started constructing a new set of NE armour for a fellow UKG friend. I missed attending an armour party last Sunday where he was measured up. The armour was rough trimmed by Steve Weir (SW1) UKG and FISD armourer and Gary Hailes (89batman) UKG CO. My apologies if anyone else contributed as I wasn't there for this part. The rough trimmed armour, taped together with Gaffa tape was delivered to my place of work. I started by making and cutting 10 * 25mm cover strips for the thighs and shins. That's three for the thighs and two for the shins. The front of the thighs have an additional inner strip with which to mount the snap fasteners. 8 * 15mm cover strips were made for the biceps and forearms. I usually start with the thighs. Here are the fronts. I've left the tops log for the owner to trim them either flat or to their own mark. Rear of thighs Thigh fastener inner strip In place Shins Front shin Rear shin with cover strip Left shin knee plate going on, glued and clamped Forearms No return edge at the hand ends Biceps All closed armour parts now constructed.
