I have just completed this armour for a client in England, and I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it.

Peter, single word will do . STUNNING!

Holy Biscuits!

That gilding is amazing. The contrast to the blueing is spectacular. I'm imagining what the original suit looked like in its prime, and if this is close, wow.

Fantastic work Peter! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the harness when its completed.

Congratulations on an incredibly beautiful piece of work.
It is really interesting to see this armor, as it shows what beauty that the craftsmen of old were capable of creating.
Until I saw this I really had no idea that this stuff could be that beautiful
Thanks! :lol:

:eek: That is the most stunning modern replica armor that I have ever seen. Peter, you deserve intense props for that.

I think my mouth my permanently remain in the "wow" position. That is simply incredible, Peter! Aaron's experience was the same as mine, where I was already floored just looking at the low res pictures, but then taking a closer look and seeing the amazing detail there... and camera's never show everything, so I'm sure there's so much more to it! I can't imagine doing all of that embossing even on one part of the harness, let alone the whole suit!

I think it is the finest reproduction that I have ever seen. I would be quite interested in comparing it with the original. Knowing that many of the old swords were not as well finished as modern ones, makes me curious about the finish of some of the finer original suits.

WOW.

Absolutely breathtaking. Hats off to you, Peter, on a very amazing piece of art work. I can only imagine the effort and pride going into this one. Congratulations!

That's very impressive; there's a similar piece in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Addison: good catch.

As stated in the links provided by the maker:

Quote:

In 1923, the owners if Appleby castle sold George Clifford’s armour to a New York antiquities dealer named Clarence MaKay. He eventually sold the armour to the Metropolitan Museum in New York, where it resides today, as the center-piece of their arms and armour collection.

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.......absolutely stunning

Truly a work of art!

Thank you, gentlemen, for your kind comments; they are very much appreciated. Now I have to get started on the legs!

Peter

I'm going to have to win the lottery, rob a dozen banks and be a very good boy!



That is just too stuning for words!
