Aluminum Scale Maile

Hey someone mentioned before that they had made Larp Scale Maille out of an old set of Aluminum Blinds (Im assuming it was Derek our local armour smith).

I just found a set on a demo site which I aquired…any tips on the conversion process from blinds to armour?

Think it was Nich who did that at Mordavia, and have a feeling he did it with blinds made of some sort of hard plastic. But I imagine the same principle applies.

Ah…yeah I was thinking that these blinds seemed a little…sharp…

I’ll keep an eye out for plastic blinds.

I asked Nich about how he made them, and he said he used an industrial sewing machine, and it took hours and hours of sewing.

They weren’t blinds. He cut the scales from lever folders. I seem to remember that he wen’t around a whole lot of stationary suppliers buying very cheaply (or free) their broken folders.
