So uh, I noticed you didn't burnish the edges of the scales...

Naw man, awesome work!

Do you take it apart for storage or do you use an armor stand?

I hate it, but its a matter of cost.  Too much time to do them all.

Wow.  That is amazing.      What did you hold the armor pieces in to do the hand stitching.

Way cool!

My knees or leaning on a chair.  I'd need a stitching mammoth to hold this thing!

Thank you, everyone.  This was a huge project to design and construct.

Well Mike, you constantly raise the bar for us but I'm afraid you raised it for yourself this time too man. I'm cussing trying to find the right words to describe how cool this is so before I type them, I'm just going to say that is amazing and it is an honor to have the chance to ask you about it.

Just. Plain. Awesome.

Did you have a clicker die to cut out the scales?

Yes.  No way I was cutting those by hand!

 

Thanks, everyone!

Serious work, Mike. Very impressive!
