  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!
