You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

You watch the caravan coming up the road from far off, counting at least two guards and a handful of merchants. Only one of them is on horseback, with the cart pulled by a sad pair of mules.

You feel confident in your new Rogue Neck and Shoulders, smirking as you signal to your fellows who lie in the shadows. There may not be much to steal, but you and your mates will take it all.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Rogue Neck and Shoulders is an articulated set of armour designed to provide protection for the neck, shoulders, upper arms and chest. The armour is a six-piece set: a two piece gorget, two shoulders, and two upper arm guards. The gorget covers the thorax to the sternum and is furnished with both metal and leather. The gorget and shoulders are attached with top-grain leather straps and a strong cord. In addition, a strong leather strap is adjusted around the chest.

The shoulders are composed of pauldrons and arm guards covering the shoulder-joint and upper arms. The top of the pauldron scoops upward, creating a ridge meant to deflect blows. The shoulder plates are strapped on at the gorget and connect to the upper arm plate, which is secured around the biceps with an adjustable leather strap.

The Rogue Neck and Shoulders is made from top-grain leather and galvanized mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is inspired by assassins and rogues, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours, allowing freedom to combine armours and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a gorget, which means throat
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century

Leather may be skin, but unlike skin it doesn't have an entire body to keep it repaired. It is constantly being damaged by the same things your own skin is, inclement weather and rain, UV radiation, being attacked by stray orcs.

After a while it can become battle worn and damaged.

Which is why you need Kiwi Dave's Leather Balsam!

Kiwi Dave's Leather Balsam gently nourishes leather like a good moisturising cream will nourish your own skin. It's soft, easy to apply, and can be left to soak in overnight, leaving your leather looking great in the morning!
And it helps keep it water resistant, too!

Use it on your armour, leggings, pouches, suspiciously eye-and-mouth-hole-free leather helmet, quivers, couches, motorcycle jacket, whatever!

You look upon your leading officer as he makes his way down the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on this veteran’s word, and you find yourself relieved not to shoulder such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Soldier Armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, swallowing back your fear.

The battle has begun.
