Artifacts,Aging and Distressing
assembling the claw collar
I made most of the artifacts(decoration)
from epoxy clay along with leather, wood and bamboo.  An important part of the costume look was to age and distress the armor, fabric and even decoration. Compare these pictures to the pristine armor in the pictures above. These were soldiers who had been on a long march, so every item was weathered, dirty and worn. Antiquing solution was applied to age, some of the "claws" were broken and repaired
