Well done ! It's very interesting. Could you give us more detail about your source ? Where this picture comes from ? It seams to be Milanaise style of armour, is that right? I'm also intersting in a detail, how do you fix the elbow to the rest of the arm ?

I think that it`s a Flemish style of armour. The elbow is fixed to the rest of the arm by three rivets, you can see that on the photos.

Je crois que c'est le style Flandre de l'arm. Le coude est fixé pour le reste de l'arm avec des rivets, vous pouvez le voir sur les photos.

Very well done. The only things I don't like are the modern washers. It adds a lot of beauty to a piece of armour to do the washers by hand.

Très bien réalisé. La seule chose que je n'aime pas, ce sont les rondelles modernes. Les fabriquer à la main ajoute de la beauté à une pièce d'armure.

for me it's the chemical leather that ruin the work, but I hope 'll get one that quality.
pour moi c'est le cuir tanné chrome qui est dommage, mais j'espère que la mienne sera aussi jolie.

Sorry for asking again more detail, but I'm really interested in your source. Could you tell me where did you get it, do you have any date or painter name? It effectively could be Flemish, but it’s very close to Milanese style, and it’s not first time that I see some similitude between these 2 style. It’s also interesting as in most of time in Milanese style the left arm protect is much bigger than the right one, which is probably good for horse riding, but could be disadvantage on walk combat. So I will be also interseted in your comments after your first fight with it.
