Fun and
eventful stream, where munch progress was made indeed. The greaves is
starting to take shape. Slowly but surely the straps and the Velcro
will make the multitude of straps hold the armor plates in place. The
trick to using such material is to combine glue and thread. Since the
stress will eventually rip the Velcro of the surface. I could not for
the life of me did up the black thread I had intended to use. Which
means I ended up using dental floss instead. Too bad it is colored
white. However good luck snapping it. There is a trick to sewing the
Velcro onto the black straps and that is to use pliers and a hard
surface to penetrate the plastic. Most of the stream was dedicated to
make the pieces come together as one. For the most part it works
wonders and will look really fantastic when it is done. All of the
straps are cheaply bought from various hardware stores. They are
intended to secure cargo. Which makes them essentially impossible for
a mere mortal like myself to pull rip in half. The fabric is just
very sturdy. Therefore it is excellent for securing joints as well.
Theoretically I could make it one whole piece, but that would cause
problems with taking it on and off. Instead I opted for a modular
approach that can be attached onto most footwear
One
strap goes around the foot, this piece have Velcro on the top and on
each side. Thereby making it possible to attach the greave on top,
then attaching the piece that goes onto the back. Without having the
pieces move around too much. There are still a lot of straps and
doodads to attach.
