Here it is – a project that has taken me nearly two years to complete: a continental-style armor of an English knight, based on the so-called Arundel-Linfield-Canterbury group, dated around 1430–1440.
And here we go... I plan to create a detailed video breakdown of the armour in the coming weeks along with some staff weapon vids :)
