My new custom forged armor up in all its glory. I sketched out this custom design. Steel Mastery accepted the commission and hand forged this kit out of 14 gauge Colled rolled steel. Hand tailored to fit like a glove. Rolled edges. Brass Crest is hand etched and painted.
Brass rivets and hand crafted Brass buckles with Black leather. Polished to a mirror finish.
A custom red silk cape was specially made for me by a seamstress in Charleston to fit this armor. Brass clasps snap onto the armors shoulder buckles and drops to about the ankle.

They did an outstanding job. Honestly top quality work. All the parts interact flawlessly.
If it will ever stop raining outside I have a few plans to get some great portraits with it.

Not rich. I just always stay poor because of it haha After bills an responsibilities I can at least save a good $500 a month for things like medieval armor, firearms, anime, lego, x-wing minitures game and magic the gathering as well as video games and computer parts. This took 11 months to make. The waiting list was 8 months alone.

And it's worth it, right? In the end, what good is money if you don't use it for the things you love?

Beautiful. What is the weight like?

Not bad. About 45lbs minus the sword, belt and shield. But that's distributed across your entire body so you don't even feel it when your wearing it. That's one of the perks when it comes to custom tailored armor over consumer grade armor.

I have to wear leather due to knee issues. Wish I could do metal armor.
