Agamemnon\'s Armour - Dan Howard - 03-28-2014
Here is a project that has been over a year in the making. Jeff Hildebrandt has raised the bar a few notches with this masterpiece.
Afterwards he girt on about his chest the cuirass
That Kinyras had given him once, to be a guest present.
For the great fame and rumour of war had carried to Cyprus
How the Achaians were to sail against Troy in their vessels.
Therefore he gave the king as a gift of grace this armour.
Now there were ten dark bands of cobalt upon it,
And twelve of gold and twenty of tin. And toward the opening
At the throat there were rearing up serpents of cobalt,
Three on either side, like rainbows, which the son of Kronos
Has marked upon the clouds, to be a portent to mortals.

That is a fantastic piece of workmanship compliments indeed.

The re-creation of this armour is a historic event! Aside from being absolutely exquisite, superlative and a pleasure to behold, it is also very convincing historically. It's a testament to Jeffrey's consumate skills as a metal artist; 300 years from now (if civilization is still intact), people will still be marvelling at it and discussing it. Congratulations Dan and Jeffrey!!

That is astounding! What a thing of beauty! Can we get pics of someone wearing it? Go armor up, man!

Have to wait until it is in my grubby hands. In the mean time you can follow the project right through from its inception.

Yep! "Jeff-phaistos" does amazing work; he recently divulged to me that he employs elves and dwarves in his workshop --this clears up a lot.
