Dude, with the quality and beauty of this armor. Why would you want it to be the last one and deprive people of owning such a work of art?

Aside from the fact that there seems to be a lot of tooling on this thing. Just the background is extensive work...

hopefully it won't be the last!

Wow! Well done!

Now that is cool Dom you should be mighty proud of that, if my partner had something like that he would probably wear it everywhere.

Where did you get the designs? It looks a lot like Book Of Kells kind of art. Very impressive, by the way.

I designed the motives myself to fit in the different areas.

My Idea is to have a main motive that can be seen from a distance, and other ones that you can appreciate when your near.

The customer showed me a simple design for the round panel (he had it on a belt bucke) but I found it was too plain so I added a thin line.

The rest was inspired by celtic and viking examples but not copies (you won't find a pattern that fits so you have to design your own).

An example of a self designed pattern for a spaulder (7-8 hours of design).

and the result :
