I plan on casting the armor with pigmented resin so all that will be needed is the silver highlights. I will work out a very inexpensive option for this.

it all sounds great so far. i think i'll need everything plus some duplicate parts for seb's leather outfit, so i'll wait for the complete set price.
vicious - chris' post mentions that he'll send out your armour piece with the rest of the kit. just wondering if we need to pay shipping in that case? thanks in advance.
also one quick question - just curious what the decorative parts might be for seb's kilt - sounds intriguing...

I will combine all shipping. I think the shipping cost should cover everything OK. The exception being if the head goes to kuato and you're buying other things I need to send to you since that will end up being 2 separate shipments.
The leather kilt has metal adornments on the ends and on the surface. See those? I need to provide a resin solution for those if we want to match the costume. I'll defer to Seb as to how to glue these to the leather. I've never attempted that. But I'm sure he'll be able to give some guidance.Perhaps good old fashioned epoxy glue?
Hey, you can send me as much as you want!

Check a few pages back, Seb showed really nice wrist straps. Not sure if that comes standard with his leathers.

The LV shoulder piece is the plate that goes over the left shoulder. Works well with the leather armor. I'm making the right shoulder strap that you will need to use it with my armor. I'll be throwing in with the package deal. If you want it alone I will make it available, too.
Chris,
Are a set of Gauntlet and Greaves include in the $100 armour set, which most of us paid for a while back ?
The Large right shoulder strap is that paid to you, Chris
Decorative elements for elvis1976 leather kilt, is that the silver bits?
And to Seb is the final battle kilt a seperate item from the full leather armour which you have already offered

Yes the gantlets and greaves are included in the armor set. I've clarified that in the post.
Yes the large strap option to use the LV shoulder piece is paid to me, but is essentially free when you get the whole set.
Yes, the silver bits will be resin applied to leather.
Kilt is separate from Seb's existing leather. It's a different design altogether.
NOTE: This post is a WIP for a while as I gather my thoughts and write things out..... so check back as time goes on. I'll remove this note when it's finished up!
Project Round up and Final Pricing!
Howdy! As you'll no doubt notice if you've been following this project for any time, it has evolved beyond it's original scope. So, I thought it high time to establish just what we've got cooked up.All the elements are available ala carte so you can buy as little or as much as you want, but I'm going to offer all the elements that I will be providing as a combo pack at a special price. I want to keep everything as affordable as possible while providing options not available anywhere else at any price! When you combine what I'm offering along with Lord Vicious' exclusive shoulder piece and Seb's amazing leathers it should be enough to please the most discriminating Gladiator fan!
My offerings, Ala Carte:
1) Armor set (includes chest plate, back piece, gauntlets, greaves, standard shoulder pieces): $100.00
2) Battle cry Head : with armor $10.00, alone $35.00
3) Gauntlet set (2) alone: $25.00, painted $30.00
4) Greaves set (2) alone: $25.00, painted $30.00
5) Gladius sword: $15.00, painted $20.00
6) Boots: $25.00, painted $30.00
7) Helmet: $25.00, painted $30.00
8) Decorative elements for elvis1976 leather kilt: $15.00, painted $20.00
9) Large right shoulder strap: $10.00 (goes with Lord Vicious' left Shoulder Piece when used with my armor)
10) neck drill option: $5.00
Shipping for any individual order is $5.00 USA. $7.00 international. You can mix and match a few items for the same single shipping cost.
Complete set of all of the above including painting (except head)..... $175.00! If bought separately the total would be $250.00 so that's a savings of $75.00 if you buy the complete set.
Shipping for the whole set is $7.00 USA. $9.00 international. You can add a few items to this for the same single shipping cost.

that is a pretty awesome saving chris - and i'm very very grateful for it indeed. i'm actually surprised about the decorative elements for the final battle leather kilt - i thought it might not come out as nice as the actual costume, but it sounds like have a nice plan for those. i have a feeling this will be just blow me away. we have some amazing talent working on this.
any chance of a discount on an extra set of boots and a gladius. i hate to ask but in these troubled times it's worth a shot! totally understand if you shoot me a pm saying "go to hell on the discount you trampy jerk".
is it ok to send payment for the tunic to yourself now, or would you prefer we waited until things were clearer with michael?
viscious - money on the way for the armour too dude

Does the $175 price point include all 10 options on the list? Because then the savings would be much more than $75.

Yes all 10, but take into account that the gauntlets and greaves are included in item #1, the armor set. I list the gauntlets and greaves separately as well so they can be bought by themselves without the rest of the armor.
So, to buy everything ala carte you would get numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = $250.00. $175.00 reflects a $75.00 saving!
Still a good deal though, eh?
Heck yeah! Count me in for all! I guess since I already paid for the armor and sculpt, I can just pay the rest plus shipping? Thanks so much for doing this, Chris.
