That is a gorgeous example of late a 15th century set ^^ Gothic has been one of my favorite types of medieval armour and this is just fantastic.

Very nice, although I'm more of a twelfth or thirteenth century chap myself, these days. Heraldry and armour got a bit over elaborate towards the fifteenth, and it was all interminable dynastic wars and scraps with the French. No decent crusades to sink your teeth into.

Your work is wonderful! I love seeing how much you put into your historical pieces. This is now in a museum? Wow, you make a full set of armour, it ends up in the Royal Armouries and all you have to say is one line in the description. You are very modest

Thanks Feantauriel.
I was really apprehensive about saying too much about the suit until I got permission from the curator as I didn't want it to appear as an inappropriate endorsement. I did upload a few more pictures of it today where I mention more about the suit. Also, there is a bit more info on my website.
I am making another suit like this one for a customer now, it isn't very far along but hope to upload some progress pictures in a few weeks.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement,
William

I don't know if I agree Behydezell... I have tried many times at illuminating manuscripts and have never gotten results anywhere near as good as yours. You have great skill!
Have you considered selling prints? I would definately be interested in getting a few... well when I am less broke hehe

A fellow armorer from Quebec made one identical to that one last year... seems like a popular project! Always impressive thought!

Yep, the original is pretty popular. It is really the epitome of Gothic style and absolutely loaded with piercing and fluting.
I have another I am making for a customer but I don't expect it will be finished for another year. I'm excited about it because the customer wants to go all out so I have the chance to do all the things I omitted when I made the one in the picture.
Just set your mind to do it Azmal. The original suit is probably the biggest reason I decided to be a full time armourer. I said the same thing "I'm going to make that one of these days." It took about 6 years working part time on it but the whole thing gave me quite a sense of accomplishment.
Thanks for the comments,
William
