Hey guys, I’ve been wanting to challenge myself recently with a fun project. I saw this challenge and thought id jump in even though im a bit late. I’ve always loved the armor the Polish winged hussars wear, I thought it would be a lot of fun to model. The picture below is from a game called mount and blade i think. I already have a ton of reference for the real armor.

Believe me or not…I knew nothing about this fantastic winged armor! Your character could look REALLY cool.
Yea theyre pretty obscure haha. I guess the wings and stuff are just for show. I hope it turns out good 
I’ve been struggling with computer problems, and software bugs for the past week or so lol, its cost me a lot of time, but I have some progress. Im just blocking out armor pieces and clothing at this point. Once it’s all in place for the most part; i’ll start sculpting details in zbrush. Not much to show yet, but its taking shape 
Cool progress, nice wip step.
Yeah i see very fast performer work in this challange,
looks for a week quicky speed charakter modeling finish.
’ according to my taste’ 
keep up the good work.
Problems and bugs…I know what you mean, but don’t give up! I really want to see this completed.
Thanks for the encouragement guys, I have a small update.
This is just a basic lighting test, probably the scene I will use for the orthographics. ignore the crashing peices and stuff 
Ive made progres with most of the upper torso, obviously the backplate and all the little details need to be added. I also need to sculpt out cloth underneath the armor. And no im not going to give him pants, hes just going to run around in those shorts :D. Hopefully once i get the cloth done i can finish off all the armor pieces and start unwrapping and detailing.
I kind of doubt this will be finished in time, which i sort of knew when i started late lol, but either way its a fun project and ill see it finished.
