Black and White Armour

German c1575
Painted mild steel.

This "Black and White" 3/4 armour was based on an officer's harness currently in the Landeszeughaus Graz in Austria. The armour was delivered immediately upon completion for use in the movie Haunted Mansion so I didn't have time to get good photos of the finished product. The image above is an early photo before the helm, shoulders and proper gauntlets were made.

Here the harness is seen after being antiqued for the movie. Photo and cloth costuming by Golbal Effects Inc. Holloywood Califorinia.

Although made under heavy time constraints to get the armour delivered on time for the production, I truly enjoyed making the burgonet and gauntlets. I was happy how they turned out and I keep telling myself that I am going to make more like them someday.
