Well I finaly completed my samurai armour. I wasn,t intending to do a diary, but it sort of formed into one, though much shorter than most. Not only did I build the suit of armour but complemented it with a mannequin to show it of as though worn, and also the weapons worn with it. so here is my rendition..

Cheers Steve, The idea is that the mannequin will wear the armour as it was worn in the period, with all the relevant undergarments, the armour can also be displayed the way it is now without the thigh and shin guards, and it can also be displayed the traditional way, on the storage box.. Bob.
