tantofolder Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 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).

Maillemaker Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Were the nipple rings necessary? That's an excellent job, though. Looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tantofolder Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 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.
