thanks for the nice comments

,to answer questions,i dont know any one yet as i have only been doing this for about three weeks,it would be nice to meet other people in leicester who are making armour

.
the top is welded so it was easy to dish only took a morning to get that together.

Servus!

Good looking work - is ti for SCA combat? You might want to check to see if the eye slot is legal - looks a bit wide to me.

Shiny is always good.... :cool:

I think that's more a homebuilt Boba Fett -- the classic BF is with the skull made of a cut-down Army helmet with its rim removed, and a related type uses a spuntop -- than a sugarloaf, but it's going to be a quite well executed SCAdian Boba Fett when it's done. Nice neat metalwork. The Marshallate will want some bars in the center of the sight.

Welcome to the wacky world of armour.
Thanks for sharing. We love pics.

Pound long and prosper.

hello justin i live in wigston

Wigston actual, or South Wigston?

We'll have to meet up at some point and have a pint, I suspect, and looking at the quality of your work that you can teach me a thing or too.
