Kendra Tassets

This pair of tassets matches the Kendra leather corsage for ladies, which features a pair of D-rings on either side of the hip to which these tassets can be attached. The tassets consist of two parts: they take up the design of the leather bodice and continue it.

These curved tassets go well with other leather armour sets such as Morgana. Of course, the tassets can also be attached separately to an already existing armour – your imagination's the limit.

Like all products made by Fucina del Drago, these tassets are hand-crafted from high-quality cowhide leather in Italy.

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.

…WHO IS THE EVILEST OF THEM ALL?

 Sculpted and hand-painted in a dark steel colour with details like greenish gemstones and serpent-inspired ornamentation, it appears realistically like metal. Three bronze coloured skulls decorate this jagged bladelike tiara, giving it a delightfully dark and malignant expression. Fastened at the back with a broad and sturdy elastic band and a bow tie buckle, the size fits all. Perfect for the Pagan princess, the necromancer or the evil queen.

The "Mina" line was made as an armour for women, drawing from historical and fantasy sources for inspiration.
The Armour Belt is, just like the entire "Mina" series, built similary to the "Balthasar" series: decorations with rivets along the edge beading are a returning design element in both armours. Both armour series can easily be combined with each other. The two-piece belt is being worn on the hip and can be adjusted with leather straps in the front and in the back. A slim built and swung lines provide the distinct shape to this belt.

Our "Lena" armour series was especially designed for warrior princesses and shield maidens alike. We distanced from historical patterns and steped closer to a rather fantastic shape. The outcome was a costume set of in the form of a worthy armour. Be it an Amazone, a warrior princess or an exalted priestess - all of them are possible by combining the armour with the right clothing pieces.

The "Lena" series belt is elaboratly made: it is worn on the hip and is closed with a single buckle in the back. Two segments make up this belt basically, which is fitting by its swung lines. The attached tassets are made from two pieces each and riveted to a leather strap, which is attached to the belt with rivets as well. All rivets are made from brass and complement the silvery shine of the blank armour additionally. The central shield is movable, holding the side parts of the belt, and covers the lower abdomen.
All points are beaded to avoid injuries when wearing it.

Mytholon Belt Shields are sold as singles, excluding belt.

Mytholon belt shields can be painted in groups colours, insignia or heraldry to show the membership to a certain group. Made from 1,2 mm steel, we offer them in our favorite plate armour series now. Matching the "Markward" series, this shield is decorated with the typical cut edges on the top. It is worn on a belt by using the two loops on the top to hoist it through there. Naturally it can be worn as a tasset, when fastened on the upper thigh. This way you will have an additional plate armour piece.

The belt shields, just like arm shields, cry out to be painted, modded and to be combined with existing clothing. This is, where your creativity and immagination comes into place.

Talking of creativity: We suggest to clean the shield with Acetone prior to painting it. Afterwards just sand it with a paper of 600 grid. Use some automobile colour primer as the colour-matching foundation. When the foundation is fully dried, you should sand it again and apply a second layer of colour. Now is the time, where you can paint your details, like heraldry, animals or writings with weatherproof acrylic paint.

There is a price to pay for armour. Armour protects your precious body - your one and only - but it has great weight and great material cost. No normal person can afford the blacksmith when desiring a suit of full plate. Thankfully, while your pocket is not deep, your skills are many.

You wear your minimal Soldier Belt Shields when you fight, because it doesn’t weigh you down. You are faster than your opponents...but also not so dumb as to go into a fight completely unprotected.
