New Japanese (2 week project)

Here's the latest evolution which was made for Master Cadwallon, primarily by me, for his use in the Japanese Battle at WW (which will be recounted on a thread elsewhere). It's a link because the file is fairly large (.5 meg or so).

All the armour you see in this picture took 2 weeks to make from start to finish. It is lacking neck protection, knees, and elbows. This was deliberate as I knew he had suitable ones to wear, and that his own would fit.

Very nice! The lacing esp. is lovely.

All I can say is WOW, that's a lot of lacing. You have ten times the patience that I do.

Sweet. I love the haidate.

A barrel? See folks... that's what patience can do!

Patience?

It was a 2 week project!

I saw it at the event, YRH. Beautifully done!

I was there as well. When Cad was called forward to be the new champion for Her Royal Majesty Fina, the group broke out into spontaneous applause... I believe it was for the armor. Beautiful stuff, your highness.

I am fully confident in the use of barrels for armor, and that they can look damn good, too.
This is yet another example of fine craftsmanship!
