Today marks the first publishing of any actual content, i.e. Prototype plans for the hidden blade (v.1.2.2), available in a single sheet and in A4 size, formatted for printing (pages one and two). This design has not yet been built even at the proof-of-concept phase, and does not contain the plans for the activation/retraction mechanism.
Please comment if you have noticed that the designs omit a vital element.
Many thanks.

I think I have a site that may help with ideas to get a working hidden blade:

Also, are you planning on constructing Ezio's outfit from brotherhood? I like the length of the tunic in that more than ACII.
Hey, thanks for commenting. The plans are indeed closely inspired by plans I found on that forum, which I adapted to reduce friction and to achieve the length and look of Ezio's blade. I realise that the plans aren't the easiest to interpret, so I'll be posting a more comprehensive set of instructions in the near future, when I get some free time.
ReplyDeleteNeither me nor Pomarine, my collaborator, are particularly enamoured with Ezio's Brotherhood outfit, so we don't currently have any plans for that - sorry. It's possible that we'll do patterns for Ezio's 'young nobleman' waistcoat, but that's in the far future, like space elevators and evidence-based government.
Thanks for reading!
