Connor's left gauntlet, PVC wrapped in vinyl. The hidden-blade is much smaller then Altair's. It is not automatically retracted... but truth be told... The ones I've seen that do retract look like infernal machines... not exactly "hidden".
So I went with estehtics here, it pops out and locks in place. It has to be manually re-inserted though. It doesn't look like the one Connor has either, however it works... and looks okay.... So...
I looked at functionality versus esthetics and toke the middle road.
Just a couple of qs what kinda leather did u use. I like the look of this one. Im guessing u used the PVC pipe for the base and wrapped leather around it. are the added layer just thick leather. and what kinda paint did u use. When i tryed mine it looked really tacky when i put paint on it lol,
Yup, that's the way it was constructed. The leather isn;t real-leather but fake leather. Paint is just rubbed on alcydd based ones and acryllic spray can layers.
