Throwing my hat into the ring....ARMOURY

Welcome to the frying pan.
Or should I say the fire.

Those sure are nice greaves, they have a sexy sculptured look to me.
Or... it's the camera and the play of light. :wink:

Well, I did sell armour years ago. Loads of breastplates, stuff like that. I took time off to frankly work on my skills and techniques. So Im sort of returning to armouring in a sense. For about 13 years I did mostly sci-fi/fantasy work. Some film related stuff. We still do entertainment work. I just spoke with a media company about some promotional suits for an upcoming gig. Keeps it from getting too boring :P

Thanks....but I confess youre right, they are but mere holograms. :mrgreen:

We can, yes. We work with metals, woods, leathers, fiberglass, resins, clays, molding materials, etc.

Any word how that finger gauntlet project is puttering along?
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

Not sure yet. I might. But Im sure you realize the price would increase.

In the interim, and in general, I suggest Jeff Hedgecocks work/Historic Enterprises. Theyre doing some nice stuff in spring.

Lol...did some more prototypes. We are trying to narrow it down to a combination between form, function and pricing.

And on that note I saw a pair the other day (dont ask me to cite it yet as Id have to pull out the book and Im tired) I saw a really cool pair the other day in a base relief. I might offer several versions to get a consensus.

thanks
