The Last Samurai - Cruise' armour set

[NEKROFANATIC]

heya all...I've just acquired a suit of samurai armour - just the chest and shoulders - that is similar, but not exact, to the set Tom Cruise wore in TLS. I'm now in the process of acquiring a similar kabuto (helmet) and now am thinking of the other parts, arms, legs, etc... I'm wondering if anyone has close up shots of the armour as it was displayed in NEw York @ Barney's...

If you need to fabricate or buy any extra bits, here are a couple of sources:

Hope it helps...

Thanks for the links Agrippa. I'm not looking for original armour as I know that its very expensive. As I already have the body armour and helmet well under way, and have someone local who can build samurai armour, I was just hoping to 'almost' recreate the Last Samurai armour...
