They're absolutly fantastic it's at the top of the page I posted a link to.

Man one day I'll be able to do stuff like that. But it probably won't be for another 30 years.

Just thought everyone needed to see em.

Aw, it's only parade armor. Very nice. Wish I could do that.

How? Work hot (probably) and anneal often. And ruin a bunch of practice pieces in the process.

Of course, those practice pieces may have been ruined 20-30 years ago.

If it was easy, anybody could do it!

Damn. That's approaching the level of the work of the Negrolis...

damn... that's amazing. is it all embosed out from the metal of the cop, or is it a sheet of thinner stuff embosed and attached to the cop?

heh, that leather scale arm... imagine a full suit like that... you'd look like a leather wookie. get that out on the field to fight off some of the guys in white plastic armor.

ooh.. and the breastplate with the thissle design is really nice. it'd have to be my parade armor cause there's no way I'd let someone hit that...

That is all embossed on the cop. No attaching stuff.
Rob has a LOT of practice at embossing and he likes to do it. It clearly shows here.

Ok, if we ever get the technology to do what they did in the Matrix, I vote we upload Rob's brain first.
