I didn't end up getting Faramir. Waited too long honestly. I went with something else that will at least look better than if I went with what he has on underneath. Eventually, I might try to figure something out that works the best.
I'd like to customize my Aragorn a bit. I need to pick up an extra pair of Boromirs Vembraces but what shirt should I go with since his is short sleeved? Plus I need to grab an extra Boromir Eleven Cloak.
TBQH, I don't like ANY commercially available 1/6th chainmaille. my advice to you is look up how to make chainmaille, then buy some bracelet wire, a tiny metal rod, and start making rings.
it' swhat I'm working on doing for gimli.
There is no way in hell that will ever have the time and patience to make my own chainmail.
Hey, you have the same pics. This is your moment. Seize the day.
And 10 years later, nearsighted vision shot and carpel tunnel in both wrists, you'll have a complete 1:6 coat of chain mail armor!
Here it is:
i think the rubber mail looks great! i thought you guys all slated it because apparently it just looks like rubber? i just ordered a bunch of material ignite mail, kinda wish I'd ordered the rubber now! love the weathering too!
The problem with rubber is that it bunches up at articulation points and tends to restrict movement. If you were to bend the figure's arm at the elbow, in no time the arm will straighten itself out due to the rubber applying counter-pressure as it goes back to its original shape.
The other big drawback with rubber is that it deteriorates over time. Sometimes it just dries up and cracks at the articulation points, and other times it starts liquifying, which could potentially ruin your figure.
cheers for the info, i thought the new polymers were supposed to be far superior to say the old 80's GI Joe scuba suit that definitely had the splitting, rotting and liquidification probs? i can understand the bunching up and posing probs though.
