The Armour Archive

Greetings all, here's my first attempt at a 15th cent Milanese harness, this one's in stainless and still needs some tweaking to the fit and having some rivits pounded in. Once again have to tip the hat to Patric for his gift of the "making of a suit" thread. I'd be lie'n if I said I didn't take more than a few peeks at it

and here's the right pauldron kinda roughed in

Aaargh! Stop making me rethink a 14th century transitional rig by posting really nice 15th century plate!

Seriously nice looking work. I need a money tree to fall on me soon.

Ken, you have become frighteningly good real fast!

Thanks guy's, I have to give a big thanks to everyone here on the A.A. all the great armor being made and showcased here has really pushed me to get better.

Coming along quite nicely! Will there be some fluting on the Tassets? Also,tell us more about how you did the triangular rolls if you would as those seem to be one of the elements that distinguish better breast plates.

Nice!

i hate you

vury vury nice

Lorenze, the edge rolls are simple not triangle, I do the triangle edges on mild and spring steel, stainless is a pain in ass even when worked hot. My stainless armor tends to get simplified for sake of my sanity

Dmitriy Thanks

Wolf, don't! My armor looks like crap, too busy making armor for other folks.

Ken

Looks great!

Looking forward to seeing all your work!

Josh, here's the shoulders, still have to do the re-enforcement plates.
Thanks for looking
Ken

and the a back view

Looks great! I wish I could get my pauldrons to come out that good. Did you use your own pattern or one of the archive?
