Seeing your armor and hearing how ya made it, brings me back to when I worked at an Armory. Back then I too did all the metal work with a Hammer(s) and Anvil. Loved when we got our first piece of Machinery that hammered repeatedly, Fluting became so much easier, lol..
Great work...Although we did make a Suit of Armor out of Silver for Michael JAckson back in the day...and made the original Thor armor...ok it was for that 80's Hulk episode where Thor liked to keep running the Armor through the Ocean, heh.. ahh the memories
