Artist's Comments

Another photo of one of the Gothic armours I have made. The suit is made from 20 to 14 gauge mild steel and brass.

This armour was made over a period of about 10 years, working on between other orders. I lost count of the time involved but I assume it was probably in the thousands of hours.

This suit was sold to the UK Royal Armouries where it is now being used for educational programs and demonstrations.

While I am moderately happy with how the suit turned out I know I could have done a lot better. A couple of years ago a customer ordered another suit like this from me and has given me the OK to go all out on it :) Now that I am caught up on most of my previous orders I have started on the new suit. Because I will be making this new armour much more detailed, but will be working on it full time, I expect it to take 18 months or so to complete. I will try to post pictures of the new harness as it progresses.

I have a bit more information and photos on my website at [link]

I don't even know where to begin in describing how beautiful and amazing I find Gothic Armour - Full View. by ~Ageofarmour. The details, the craftmanship, the incredible time and effort it takes to create something this fantastic and authentic. I'm in awe, and so should you be! ;) (Featured by `Myana)

You have some of the best plate armor I've ever seen. What does a set like that cost? Very costly I'm certain.

Wow not a lot of things on deviantart impress me, but man!
:iconjlipimpski:
nice, i'm just getting into armour myself... what gauge is the steel? (i'm assuming its steel)
:iconithiel:
Must be a bit of a bugger to get off the horse with that on.

I jest. It's superb. Aesthetically and, as far as I can tell, structurally incredible.
