Ongoing Work on an armour

[Dom]

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)
