I think that I'll start a Zombie Apocalypse store - Page 12

I've got some videos of making the rings I use. The scales are purchased already punched and ready to go, so it's just really a matter of assembly. My supplier has some pretty good videos about how to put them together. I don't really work from patters, though, but instead just pull the designs out of my head.

And this is a video from The Ring Lord, my supplier. It shows making scale with split rings (essentially like key rings), where I use plain rings cut from aluminum, but the principle is the same.

The girl who first modelled the Japanese 6-in-1 shirt, back in post #98, ended up buying it. I gave her a deal; just enough to buy my next load of stock material, including a 20 pound roll of 16 gauge bright aluminum.

Ah, yes. My first screen credit; Season 3, Episode 2 of the web series "Standard Action." The tall skinny guy with the moustache in the tavern is wearing this piece. Doesn't look nearly as good on him. I was hoping it would go to the redhead, but they thought it looked funny on the guy.

Funny thing: The photographer friend who I did the photoshoot with just asked me if it would be possible for me to make a chainmail bra and thong for another shoot

I also decided it was about time that I got something a little more "culturally appropriate" to myself, so I picked up a 24" targe and a Scottish basket hilted backsword. I'll be facing the targe in sand coloured pig split, so the reflections won't be an issue in photoshoots.

Another piece I'm working on. It's not done yet (I want to add some flashy bits). This will likely be going to another web series:

Waiting for pics of model in said chainmail bra and thong...

So now I'm waiting for photoshoots do be done and posted, online, by the following:

Jen Page (Model/Actress who has been in various productions by Zombie Orpheus Enmtertainment and, most recently, the web series "Chop Socky Boom) - she has some scale pieces and a chainmail dress that I made.

Sarah Moore (actress/director who is best known for her own web series "Gamer Chick") - I sent her that most recent piece that I posted, after adding some jeweller's brass scales along the front opening.

I'm pretty sure that Jen already did the photoshoot with the scale pieces, so it's just a matter of when she starts posting the shots.

Actress Sarah Moore, with her new acquisition.
