    as a person who has build himself a full suit of armor for armored combat. u have done an amazing job, and everything looks authentic as hell. i am thoroughly impressed with the gauntlets u made, and ur arm and leg design is close to what i have for my kit. alot of startup people make armor from 50 gallon plastic barrels, i vet u can build an amazing kit with one of those. keep up building,

    I made Siegmeyer of Catarina's armor by using cardboard and paper mache. It turned out really nice. I tried to make it very dirtied to make it look like the armor had been in a few battles, I got a zweihander to go with it and it looks sick.

    You did a fantastic job here. I feel with you on the chainmail...had to do a piece for a smaller project. It took me so long to understand how you do it. And I was very happy that the small piece was basically just a tube - no armpits, no dome shape (these must be so hard - I understand that it is a bit like knitting, which I also hate). But you did so great there! And I really like how your plate came out.

    your ability to accurately get proportions correct is amazing; do u believe your naturally talented or did it take time to get good? - Your paint jobs do such a good job at making it look like real metal . Do you recommend any tutorials you have used in the past to build these projects? - I must imagine you get templates from the internet and use those proportions as templates etc

    Not to be ‘that guy’ but the first helmet is actually a closed helmet. The difference is in how the face closes; the chin part of an armet hinges closed in the front, like the Predator’s mouth mandible things.

      ​@@Kcb_creations It's a fairly accurate pattern, its just not called an armet. He's correct that it's called a close helm due to the way it opens. When it's closed they look very similar and people often get them confused. This guy is great if you want to hear more: ua-cam.com/video/42oEPWVGNBw/v-deo.html
