It has been a while since my last leather project. I have focused a bit more on miniature work and with the start of event season I have even less free time. Just before the The Road to Rouen (2024-SCA) Sir Richard Larmer contact me about making two leather helmet shields. These attach to the mail of the helm just below the face plate. These are made of tooled and painted leather. Having about a week to finish, I painted them faster than I normally like. This should not impact durability but did reduce the finished quality (in my opinion). Below are a few production shots and a final photo with the shields attached to the helms.
