Ongoing Work on an armour

[SMP]

Dang! That is cool. What an inspiration!

Am I the only one who can't see the picture? I'm assuming it has to do with security settings here at the office. I get his emoticon but no pic. I get lots of others on this site, so I'm confused.

I'm working on my own tooled cuirass (a close imitation of the Greenwich Armor style from Henry VIII's time), and I'd love to see what he's doing.

Can someone bump or repost his pics so maybe I can see them?

Thanks in advance.

He's got them linked funny. Here's the actual pic:

Thanks for trying.

Unfortunately, it looks like some security settings must be getting in the way. I still can't see anything. I'll have to pry myself away from my workshop when I get home and see if I can view it on that computer.

the tooling is incredible,

is the lower (abdominal) part is riveted all the ways or just at the corner? (rigidity or flexibility)

It's riveted in the middle and on the sides (not flexible at all, but it's only a torso armour)

another picture

and another from a spaulder

The design took me 8 hours - It always seems so simple when it's done...

a realy neat addition to a allready nice pieces.

I notice the older style carving (lineare instead of curve) on the back of the torso.

Do you know where I could find reference for this style?

This Book is "The reference" :

Celtic Art : The Methods of Construction on amazon.com > Link

(the same book with two different covers)
