A couple weeks ago, I found templates for knight armor on Youtube. I am not very good at making armor because of the shapes of the body, so this helped a lot. It is based off of 16th century Italian Milanese knight armor.
This whole set took me two weeks including painting. I updated a couple of things on my armor, like reversing the tassets direction so that swords will slide off instead of catching the edges. I have three different helmets: a Hounskull bascinet, which I gave to my friend, a great bascinet, and a close helm. My weapon is a very sharp Billhook and also a Rondol dagger which I have not made yet.
This is what it looks like when being worn:
This armor harness has good mobility, but there could be a little more. For instance, the gaps between the back of the knee are not cut enough, so I cannot sit down without having my feet stretched out. The arms are great other than the fact that you have to get the perfect attachment point where the pauldrons connect to the brassards, or else the brassards will keep falling down and restricting elbow movement. The gauntlets work very well and I will definitely be using the design again for other armors. I made the Sabatons myself and they have good flexibility, which is very helpful with the loss of mobility when wearing the legs.
