Milanese Armor -- Mild Steel, Fall 2001

This armor was made very quickly, in about a month! Normally I don't make armours so quickly but I took the challenge, and for the time it took I think it came out pretty well.

Another view of the same armor. It was based loosely on a milanese armor now in the Glasgow museums. Milanese, or Italian armour from the mid 15th c. is charactarised by smooth surfaces and round and robust forms.
