Been a way for some time, though I have not played a 40k game since pre-covid. I have been hard work in my shop. I make historical and fantasy based armor for living. Mostly Leather and have had the privilege to do projects for, Troy, with Brad Pitt. Spartacus on Starz, Revolution on NBC, As well as handful of History channel, and Discovery Channel documentaries. And very humble to announce, future projects as well, but my contracts have sworn me to secrecy for now.

But I also make some for me and have posted some in the past. Its been a while.

I really wanted to share this with the community. Without any arrogance or Ego intended, this is the finest suit of armor I have crafted ever. 100% hand made and Tooled/carved.
And appose to some leather dye and a stain to add depth. I asked myself " What if I hand panted and highlighted it like I would a model/figure?" ...So 250hours, and what seemed like endless carved and 3d tooled, Diamonds painted later... here ya go. Please Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Feedback, suggestions for the future, or anything else is welcome and appreciated.

That looks pretty cool. The highlighted diamonds look great.

Great work.

Good idea for using your paint-skills outside the medium. It works well.

Is there a mask/helmet to go with it yet? That would probably take just as long to make, I expect.

@Flinty , thanks man appreciate it.

@Skinnereal, hah not yet. Im thinking a mask and a hoodie lol.
