Well I think I started this somewhere around 6 years ago,and finally got the finish on it over the weekend!!!! Sorry for the crappy photo.I intend to take better ones and then do a progress thread on the Armour Archive.I started one for it a few years ago,but the site changed and I lost my progress pics that I had up.My username there is "redrook". Once I get it all done I will give a link,I am just excited to to have it done(well the front anyway).
Cheers,
Richard

Were the nipple rings necessary? That's an excellent job, though. Looks very good.

Looks a little cold in there Batman....lol

I could have modeled for that............45 yrs ago.. ...Great piece!

Someone wants to protect his "Spartan" physique Looks great though....

Thanks for the responses!!
This was made from 16g mild.My biggest repousse work to date.First time rolling edges on a piece ( though I did do a practice run on some scrap).I had been doing more armour back when I started this,but not so much lately........maybe after some of these other projects get completed.

LOL, that sure would have changed 300! "This is SparTA!" Kick - falling guy gaps nipple rings to keep from falling in the hole...

You had nipple rings? ;)

In his dreams while looking at a Charles Atlas ad in Mechanics Illustrated Nice work on the plastron, now show us the carapace.

i think its wicked! the nipple rings made me smile the rolled edges make it look very cool. nice one!

Thanks everyone.I am researching gladiator type helms now,but don't hold you breath...............it could be years before I have anything to show for it at the rate I am going.
