David_ESM's first build - Skyrim

[David ESM]

Just found pep a couple weeks ago. Decided to make a helm for fun for DnD night, that's evolved into wanting to do a whole outfit I figure I could wear to my annual PAX trip. Not looking to make a game authentic outfit as much as a Skyrim themed build. Will use different armor sets and pieces to get the look I want.

A big thanks to Zombiegrimm for making the pdos.

Here is the chest piece in the works. Nordic Carved armor. The actual chest part is now done. The unfinished bottom is the belt/waist section. Haven't really kept track of time but I would guess around 25 hours or so with cutting and what not. 40 pages of pieces so far.

Dang thats great looking. Very clean edges. Doing the paint on it, will be crazy awsome fun.

Wondering what colour this will be?

Thinking dark weathered armor look. Starting with a gray in the gunmetal range and then weathering it a bit darker. Go with a black/gray fur for the collar.

Edit: Just finished the armor itself. As you can see the waist section is included in this pep. After hardening I will cut off the waist parts, cut out the paper belt and turn it into a separate waist piece with an actual leather belt later.

Looks awesome, really clean. This is really your first build? Props to you! I've done a bunch of free-handed cardboard/duct tape dragon priest costumes, but this tops them. Are you going ancient-nord style with this? Or just steel? As a skyrim fanboy I can't wait to see where this goes..
