    confused Barbarian Costume-Need Pauldron Template

    Hello.

    I'm working on this totally awesome Barbarian costume. I've got access to a flexible, leather like material. If I paint it right, it looks like metal. Here's my checklist:
    Greataxe: Check (Wood, painted black with silver edges...Meteoric Iron made into Steel?)
    Furry Cape: Check
    Helmet: Check (Furry Hat+Tinfoil)
    Manskirt: Check (Don't ask)
    Torso: Design planned (Painted Leatherlike:Solid Breastplate under armpits to ribcage, Banded Plate/Brigandine/Lamellar bottom of ribcage to waist. Iron/Steel.)
    Gauntlets and Greeves: Need design help for putting them on; no velcro, shoestring method? (Painted Leatherlike:Solid Iron/Steel.)
    Pauldrons: Need template. (Painted Leatherlike:Solid Iron/Steel. May include Banded Plate/Brigandine/Lamellar if design calls for it) Hopefully looks like metallic version of below:


    I've searched the internet and been unable to find templates for anything like what I'm looking for, and I don't want to eyeball it. You're a very knowledgeable crew around here. Can you help me out?

    Manskirt? Surely you mean kilt?

    Anyways, googling "leather pauldron pattern" seems to come up with some good results.

    This might be the most helpful result though: http://www.armourarchive.org/patterns/

    Thank you good sir. I have bookmarked the page for all future reference. If all goes well, I'll have posted a picture of my completed costume in some time. Adios!

    Hello again.

    I have carefully selected my design for the pauldrons. Before I jump into production mode, can any of you advise me on how to size them up properly?
