A real challenge indeed! Thank you so much Ernst for the info and added pictures. Am I understanding correctly, that A7 is referring to the bigger rivets, and A9 the smaller?

Does anyone have any idea on the construction of tightly woven neck chainmail, as seen in the picture? I mean regular chainmail is a pain in the ass already... making this must be un-godly.

Maybe you can take all the chain off where the rerebrace lames are covering.

Hey Zetheros what kind of cloth material are you using on your bellows?

Yea, one person making a game like Skyrim would take several lifetimes.

Here is the image of the inside of this defense from Charles Ffoulks "Armourer and His Craft". Mac Thanks so much Mac. Yea I definitely wouldn't have called it compression articulation after seeing that pic. It's hard for me to tell from the outside. It's funny I have a pdf copy of that book, shoul...

I get what you're saying. One day I might implement it, but in the meantime I'll probably be using a floating joint articulation instead.

Thanks for all the welcomes!

Well cost won't be a problem as i'm going to make it myself. Brian Price, of Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction fame, says that compression articulation is easier to implement then shell.

Could you link the photos if it's not too much trouble? It's sad such a beautiful design doesn't get reproduced much because of the cost, but it makes sense.

Hey everyone, this is my first post, so I hope i'm not touching on something that's frequently asked. Anyway I was wondering does anyone have any more pictures of this armour, particularly around the waist section? I'm pretty sure it's one of Henry the VIII's sets. And further, why don't many armour...
