Introduction: Samurai Homemade Armor
Hi I'm Ruog
I want to introduce you all my new armor. I've been making it for the last 6 years with my free time.
Is not still finish but it will be soon. I started it because I always like the samurai stuff but i cant afford to by myself an original or even a replica armor. Later, my brain started to think about the idea of making one with cheap but good materials and build it for less than 250 $ and I began to do it.
All the videos are in Spanish ( my mother tongue) but also has english subtitles.Anyway, if you dont understand something or you need help with some issues I'll be glad to answer your questions.
You can find here a small teaser of the final result.
Step 1: How to Start
I've made a lot of blueprints and research on the internet just to be able to begin. In here i condense every idea I've used
in www.segokudaimyo.com/katchu/katchu you can find and download the patterns.
Step 2: Do
This part was very complicated, and very tricky because of the big amount of shoelaces I had to use, but the results worth it.
Step 3: Haidate
This is still unfinished. I will refresh it when its done.
Step 4: Suneate
Its also unfinished. I have to sew the bias tape,sew the fabric to tie it around my leg.
Step 5: Kote
I have to add some shoelace to attach it to my shoulder and to sew the inner layer to hide the sewing line but for the moment it's ok.
Step 6: Menpo
Apologies for the delay in uploading this part. I was very busy.
Step 7: Kabuto
Here I finally show you the most important part of a Samurai Armor. It differenciates Daimyos or leaders from the rest of the samurais.
Step 8: Stand
Still in development
Step 9: Hitatare
