This really big job is done! Bright beautiful brigandine of small-plates, based on pictorial historical sources and an artifact of the 15th century, located in the castle of Basel (Switzerland). Armor assembled of a large number of metal plates and assembled on about 2500 rivets. For comparison, stylized brigandine "Wimbledon" contains about 300 rivets. Inside, each rivet is made with a round hat, so as not to tear the gambeson. The plates are made of titanium grade 6, and the total weight of the armor is 4.15 kg. There are other interesting projects ahead!
