Hi All,
After some time on the forum and being inspired by the legends like Zephyrides, PygmyHippo, Feinman or Giannis among many others, I have decided to give it a go myself and make my very own spolas, and with a bit of luck and time, eventually build up a whole panoply.
I will be working mainly with 3 and 5mm veg-tanned leather, leather cord and brass/steel scales as well as some brass 'extras'.
I am attaching 2 very raw sketches of what I'm more or less going for with some changes to come as the project develops.
I also have 1:1 designs drawn out on cardstock, I will use them to trace the designs out on the leather.
I'm currently still waiting for the metal scales to arrive but should start cutting out the first layer of leather soon.
More updates to follow, thanks for looking!
