This one? It's in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

that is the one, I'm seriously considering trying to make a very simular armour. So photos and any other details would be greatly apreciated. Like how are the arms attached inside of the shoulders?

Look for armour made by Kolman Helmschmid, he made quite a bit of this style. I'd probably flip through as much Henry VIII armour as I could find, too.

If you go to:

I have pictures of the Tonlet Armour of the Chamberlain of Burgandy.

It might give you some ideas, and it's in more detail.

I can e-mail you the pictures if you wish.

...made for Empoeror Charles V of spain.

As a note of clarification, Charles Hapsburg was Carlos I, King of Spain, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. He is noted for his quote of speaking Spanish to God, Italian to men, French to women, and German to his horse. He's as much Burgundian as Spanish (father Phillip the Fair, moter Juanna the Mad). Not that it has much to do with tonlet armor besides explaining why Augsburg supplied the "Spanish" Emperor.

To my understanding,.that isn't a tonlet armour - a tonlet is a deep fauld of lames, and what you see there are 'bases' popular on early 16th century civil clothing reproduced in steel, rather than a fauld of lames.
