For those of you interested in Armor you might find this interesting. Not sure why but the link is at the bottom of this post.

  Just got around to watching this all the way through (no sound).
The fight scene at the end is great; to see the armor in action was fascinating. Watching how the sections move smoothly over and under each other is not something you see very often in modern re-enacting.
   That takes a huge amount of work, and most reproduction armor opts to use a lot of leather in place of the fussy plates at elbow, knee and neck. 
   We neversee foot sections like that in modern reproduction.  Those are exquisite!
What doesn't kill me-had better run.
