Armor pieces formerly produced for an organization of nocturnal athletes [descriptive accuracy forbidden]. Exclusivity contract expired - partially finished kits now available for general distribution.
Kits include all pieces required to build a pair of shin guards. Choose between two spiked variants and a non-spiked variant. All spike color options feature a silk sheen. Straps include an elastic buffer to help keep the armor in place, and do not require any sewing.
Steps required [a guide with further tips is included]:
- Cut out armor shells using a razor. Styrene is easy to work with.
- Drill mounting holes and clean up edges. Shell surfaces should require very little sanding, if any.
- Paint, if desired.
- Install spikes, if applicable.
- Install pre-sewn strap assembly.
Tools required:
- Box cutter or similar sturdy razor
- 1/8" drill bit
- 5/16" drill bit (for spiked variant)
- Sandpaper/files
- 2mm hex wrench
Skill level: Easy (just cut away from yourself, please)
Time level: Low, plus paint dry time
[Q: Can I buy a finished version?] No, sorry - while these should be easy for one person to make for themselves, various personal factors make them unsuitable for mass production.
