I do make chainmail, but not this hauberk. So this was a galvanized hauberk I got on medieval collectibles. It was too shiny for the "grimdark" look I was going for, so I stripped the galvanization off and have been trying different methods to darken it. After the galvanization was removed there was nothing protecting it from rusting. For rust prevention We tried linseed oil, but we put too much on, it caked up, smelled terrible and was just bad over all. So we were burning off what was leff so I could just use gun oil to protect it.
Yup, using propane, a relatively clean burning fuel is 100% melting the ice caps and destroying the planet! How could I be so careless…. Curse me and everything I have ever done… fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk
It was weird as fuck trying to get oriented on the machines when I can barely see lmao. There was another machine I tried that I jusy couldn't figure at all. So I didnt include it :/
Loved the costume design in that movie. Love the inspiration of Medieval paintings showing royalty with halos because they were thought of as divine I giess, so they incorporated the halos into the crowns. So fucking cool.
And I really like the idea of turning that onto its head by incorporating it into an undead skeletal king.
I know of them, but I don't have the money or time to get inolved unfortunately. My medieval armor I have is purely costuming and for personal fun.
Here's my full crusader armor along with a wenzel styled bascinet I am currently working to make wearable.
