Finished

Finally the masterpiece armour is finished!!! All metalwork anyway, i just have to stitch the glove in the gauntlet and make padding for the helmet… Actually it was finished a month ago. so it just took two weeks more than expected to make it, a total of five month and two weeks. Now we are working on the exhibition, movie and the book.

The armour will be examined by a jury at the Royal Armouries in Stockholm the 30th November. and in the afternoon same day it will be on public viewing.The jury will give their opinion on the armour, the quality of the work and tell if it is approved as a work that can stand as a model of witch that a modern armourer wold master today. then I will talk about the making of it, its history and the re-installation of armourmaking as a official trade in Sweden. More information, and pictures!!, will come later.

It has so far been a great experience, and i have learnt a lot. much witch I will shear in the exhibition. the last month I had to focus more on the making of the armour than sharing on social media, I had to cut down on this to be able to finish the armour in time. one goal of the project was also to try to make it as quick as possible to come closer to the armourers in the 16th century this is one the reason why i tried to make it in 5 monht. but i have been doing a lot of documentation that will come together in the book later on.

The exhibition will be held at The Royal Armouries in Stockholm opening in October 2020 standing at least nine month. the book will be finished by then. hopefully the exhibition will after this go on tour to other museums around the world.

Thanks all supporters backers and sponsors of this project so far!!
