Its like a big puzzle. You cut the pieces, drill the holes, paint and dye, all the while testing and adjusting to make it personal and custom fitting. Great project, complete addiction, as its easy to keep grabbing another piece, just one more, before bed. Working 4 months so far and still have a lot to do. Cant wait to wear at the RenFest in Kansas City.

This is the fourth piece that I have completed and I will say assembly on this one was a bit more challenging than sections from the Fantasy series. Keeping the dome shape while riveting was my biggest challenge and I definitely have "bacon edges" but I am still super happy with how it came out. Lastly, I like that I was able to put my own spin on the pattern to keep the theme of the Fantasy armor that I have already been making. I absolutely recommend this pattern and can't wait to see what comes next!

This was very first attempt at leather work. Making my son a full suit. I'm using 4 to 5oz weight to lighten it up a bit and it's working out well for him at least. Working with a budget here and this pattern is definitely great value. I unfortunately cannot purchase the whole bundle at once so we will get 1 piece at a time when the money is available.

This was my first attempt at something a bit more complicated than a small keepsake box. I previously made a suit of armour from foam but decided to try my hand at leatherwork. Love the tutorials and the patterns are great. Decided to go with a color variation as well.

It may say "beginner" pattern, but it was definitely not simple. Pay close attention to how each piece is wet molded in the video and test fit the pieces before before you set the rivets. Ultimately, be prepared to make two. Make the first one just to learn how to do it correctly, then make a second one to be proud of. (This is my first one lol)

This was my third leather project from Prince Armory. I’m glad I made the helmet and bracers first, those skills were helpful in making this piece. I’m definitely a newbie at leather work so the videos provided with all the projects were extremely helpful. I wouldn’t have been able to get this far without having the outstanding tutorial video. I did struggle with the sizing, had to make several patterns out of paper. Taking the extra time with paper patterns saved a lot of grief in the end. All my leather pieces were dot on. I’m loving the end result! Can’t wait to finish the pieces in this series so I can start building the Imperial Night armor. The female breastplate looks so awesome!

Helmet Warrior
So impatient that I couldn't wait for a youtube lesson, so I'm trying to make this helmet just with the pattern.

Pretty simple pattern that has a lot of potential to be used in many ways. I made the whole helm and then made a different front piece for non-combat (display) purposes. The whole fantasy series is a great way to learn the ins and outs of leatherworking. I'd recommend ANY pattern from Prince Armory.
Great gauntlets - easy to modify
I needed one hand free of the finger armour and worked it all in to the beginnings of my Witcher armour

Such a great and versatile pattern! Had I more leatherworking experience, I'd have modified them a bit more and put my own flare on it, but I'm still quite new and learning so this pattern was great for me.
Any faults you see in the pictures are all on me - the pattern is very simple and easy to cut and put together. I'm 5'4" and they are just a smidge too high for me and not quite wide enough around my calves, but that's just a bit of adjusting I will do for my next pair. They fit nicely on my sneakers that I'll be using when I wear these.
One added note: these are A LOT of work for a newbie! I didn't expect to take on such a great project so soon but I don't regret it!
