#thranduil armour

Taking a break off sewing and back to armour making. Progress thus far~ so much more to do.

Thranduil wip.

Trying out something different this time round for Project Grumpy Elves. Its going to take so much time but I hope its worth it.

Already drafted the chest armour and now working on the arm bracers. But we ran out of glue! The embossed detail is time consuming. Going to try dry brushing this to give it some dimension.

Painting the crown!

So I managed to get a heat gun today and continued to work on the crown. My first time playing with therma plastic and heat gunso naturally, I was excited. So what I did was cover the wire with the plastic before bonding them together. I had to at one point glue the piece to the floor to preventing it from moving while I pleated each strand. Many hours and taa daa! Can’t feel the first 3 fingers of each hand right now cause of the heat. Really loving this new gadget. Payday well spent! My sis on the other hand worked on the chest plate for Thranduil. Mostly the detailing. She too can’t feel her fingers thanks to the glue that she was using. Will stop here tonight since its already 3am in the morning.
