Samurai Piper. Cuz… Chicken Armor.

A half-assed attempt to build armor for my often bullied silkie. Sword training will commence at sunrise. Impulsive she is. Yet, not too old for training.

Prototype A: Death Proof Mark I

Beak proof armor.

I’m still working on the attachment part, but she’s got full range of movement. This officially signals that I have too much time on my hands.

Here’s what I did:

image
Sketched out and cut a pattern.

 

image
Transferred it to some non-skid soft material

 

image
I used dividers from a fastener container for the armor plating.

 

image
Drilled and sewed them puppies on.

 

image
Bad-ass paint job complete with predator eyes and then test fit.

 

image
Some sweet padding that also holds the stitching together.
