Artist's Comments

ah! Here's the "before I paint it" shot of the menpo (face mask/armour) I've already finished... don't have a picture of the complete one. I hammered it out of 18g (I think) nickel sheet metal. This is the most intensive armouring metal work I've done to date, and it's definitely not going to be the last :D
It's much more of a costume piece than actual armour, because the metals so thin, especially the nose because I've raised it up so much.

Wow. That is impressive. ^_^ Though I have no clue the difficulty of something like this, so it seems more impressive than it probably is, but I really like it. It would be great for a party

oooh! it's intense, I spent a month in jewelry class at school just shaping it, than a week and a half getting the dents to look pretty, and then it took along time for me to get it painted (a picture that may take me a while to get on here)

I love it!!! I can't wait to see the painted version.

Major kudos for sticking with it for so long... I get bored with difficult projects and just leave then as is. Generally as a lump of clay/sketch/random bit of cloth I sorta started sewing.

But again, kudos to you. :nod:
