Description Since spring I've been working on a set of plate armour for myself. These are the arms (just finished). These are 16 and 18 gauge steel.

I've been working with Bill at South Tower Armouring Guild.

The cat was not impressed but she is never impressed.

She's very muscular but I think she'd rather contract out for hitmen than do it herself.

Does kinda look like she'd be the boss of things. whats the other side of the armor look like? are those shoe lace looking things to help hold it on?

The back is unfinished (not lacquered) steel held together by copper rivets and leather strips. The shoulder, elbow, and forearm are connected together with laces (so that they can be adjusted and the forearms both have hinges so that they fit my arm better. I have a pair of gauntlets that go over my hands. The laces at the top tie it to the shoulders of my breastplate/backplate combo.

If it is not edible then it is not impressive.

If she could, she'd skip the armour and go straight to chewing her way into tuna cans.
