OVERVIEW

This fully articulated suit of armour may be "miniature", but just barely! It's over 2 ft tall, and the sword is longer than some daggers.

Modeled after European suits of the 1500s, every facet of a full-size armour's craft is on display, from the moveable joints to the riveted plates. Each part is separate in the same manner as a full-sized suit of armour. The helmet visor is separate from the helmet as it should be, but does not pivot. Polished steel construction with an exquisite skirt that's trimmed with gold lace.

If a full-size armour could be shrunk, this is what it would look like. Lacquered wooden base. Sword has a wood grip and a blunt edge.

  • Overall Height: 27"
  • Armor Height: 25-1/4"
  • Base: 7" x 7" x 1-3/4

A nice unique handcrafted item...
The shipping packaging was very well done. It was in it's own original box that had foam and plastic bubble wrap totally protecting the item within. Also, that box was then protected by another exterior box that Museum Replicas places it in.
The Windlass Steelcrafts made suit of armor is well polished and put together. There are some slight details showing it's hand crafted nature, but nothing that hurts it's very nice appearance. No quick mass produced item here, some actual hands on human labor was obviously involved in producing this item.
The producer, Windlass Steelcrafts, is located in India. The labor costs are much lower than in the West. I would say that if this item was manufactured in, let's say, the USA, not changing a single thing about it's construction methods or materials, this would likely have a six to eight hundred dollar price tag, (if not more). Yes, I find this item unique, very decently made, and a good overall value, (especially when one considering the amount of human labor involved, which can't be faked by the use of more modern machine made items). The hand made aspect of these mini suits of armor helps in delivering a classy nostalgic look for ones decor, without totally breaking the bank by having one done by a custom type maker. In the end, yes, I like it very much and would recommend it as a very cool unique item :)
