I was attempting a Richard the Lionheart custom a while back and I could never find a way to create a way to simulate mail armor. Any ideas?

Hmmmm....
I've seen folks make actual chain. Looks pretty good, but it's a LOT of work, and kinda tricky to work with. You could get one of them bodysuits from CTVT, or off a Mego Knight. Those work pretty good.

^ Yeah, I think the knight bodysuits give a good effect for 1/9 scale, and allow poseability...
Loking forward to see what head you use for Richard, I've been mulling that over, too.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I think a Mego knight suit would work well. I just have to find one.sigpic

I am currently altering a butcher's glove I won off ebay for chainmail...
I also found a few other things that might work decent...
Dryer lint filter and tea strainers...
I'm not far enough into to show pics yet but soon..."Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

Aaaarggh! I tried making chain mail for my Old Soldier (From Astro City) custom. Madness. I was only making a sleeve and it drove me nuts! I wound up using a material I found at Joanne fabrics.
