Leather Crafting Tutorial - Viking Shoulder Armor

This patterns and the manual together with a video tutorial shows you how to craft these viking inspired shoulder armor pieces. The build itself is relativly good to manage, but this specific artwork is very high on smalle details and therefore difficult.

I've been working on my own set of leather armor the past month or so in a more fantasy/royal style, and after watching this, I think I'm going to try for a germanic/viking look next! This is amazing work!
