The film is called Shroud and is set in the Old West. During the story a suit of medieval plate mail is found.<\/p>\n<p>I retained two very talented armourers by the name of Patrick Thaden (Denton, Texas) and Ugo Serrano (Los Angeles, California). I was very impressed with their craft in creating a suit of plate mail for a woman. I believe it took them 4 \u00bd days to fully forge the suit. There are no legs as the bottom of the suit will be a battle dress of studded black leather.<\/p>\n<p>I read in your editorial requirements that don\u2019t post URLs except on rare occasions. I hope the administrator will find the sincerity of this response such an occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The below links will show you what they were able to do in 18-guage aluminum. The armour was not made in heavier metals as to grant the actress combat flexibility and mobility. They also made an Irish-style sword out of aluminum as well. There are several flourishes in the armour that might be of interest to you.<\/p>\n<p>They really did a great job, and I am confident either of them would be able to answer your specific question.<\/p>\n<p>The armor:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud1_lo-res.jpg\">http:\/\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud1_lo-res.jpg<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud2_lo-res.jpg\">http:\/\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud2_lo-res.jpg<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud3_lo-res.jpg\">http:\/\/www.jetrefilm.com\/shroud3_lo-res.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More pictures of the armor can be found at our website <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.jetrefilm.com\/\">http:\/\/www.jetrefilm.com<\/a> under the little gallery boxes on the home page, or under the Production &gt; Gallery \/ Sketchbook tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Thaden<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.thadenarmory.com\/\">http:\/\/www.thadenarmory.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ugo Serrano<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.ugoserrano.com\/\">http:\/\/www.ugoserrano.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/swordmaiden.com\/armor\/#comment-10\">December 29th, 2006 at 2:22 pm<\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.armorswords.com\/\">paul<\/a> Says:<\/p>\n<p>wow, this is a great culmination of resources. thanks for compiling this! i think i will be spending quite a bit of time here.<\/p>\n<p>Posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/swordmaiden.com\/armor\/#comment-1690\">January 9th, 2008 at 3:53 pm<\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>3<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090223071850\/http:\/www.armorvenue.com\/greek-helmets\/\">greek helmets<\/a> Says:<\/p>\n<p>I really like those pictures of the armor.
