Masterpiece doesn't even begin to describe it.

Is the lower jaw hinged?

The whole face is a flip up visor. It's riding low on the guy in the picture, but it hasn't been padded yet. That's up to the buyer.

What paint did you use for the finishing art work? Very crisp and shiny!

Silver acrylic. The red is dyed in, though.
Some people don't like it, but Ive abused my armor about as much as you can. Most of the black and all of the white and gold are acrylic paint. It's chiped and faded a little over the years and throught the rain storms and mud, but hardly at all.
I think is goold stuff.

Frankly, I'm more impressed that you built a time machine (presumably out of leather and copper rivets), seeing as how these pictures were taken almost ninety years in the future! :axed:

Seriously though, amazing work as usual- I'm intrigued with the way you put the abdomen sliding lames on the outside of the cuirass. Also, the layering on the lobstertail looks reversed from what I'm used to, but it looks like it still offers good maneuverability.

Awesome work and inspiration- thanks!

Par, I can make any kind of arm harness you want. We could make the pattern when your here for an event. That would make it faster for me in the long run.
Dacian, this suit was $1,235. The customer sent me pictures of a guy in a movie and I made the closest thing I could whit mod's to make it Bel legal. I did the same thing with Dash's torso armor.
Seig, didn't you know I was a armor making robot wizard from the future?
I gotta put that back in my profile.

I was thinking to myself... we need a Nike-like shoe/boot appropriate for this sport. Something with good traction, ankle support, and built on armor-grade shin protection. If anyone can do it, it's you.

Hmm... Bel Jordans... Also requesting they light up when one takes steps, and old 80s/90s-style pump on it too -- that looks like a rock, or shield...

All geeking aside, that armor is amazing FB, keep up the good work.

I second that being armor porn. I opened the page and thought "Oh *, and I was proud of my crappy bracers."

What brand of acrylic paint did you use? (Some flake more than others) And did you seal the dye before or after you added the acrylic?
