Items chosen by Dez Armstrong to help answer questions he has about armor styles and construction details. Adapted somewhat to work with the existing displays - pulling apart a specific set of "suits" - gaining access to all of those parts - and limiting the number of suits affected. We can start with the close helmet on top of A-114. It's interesting, and we have to take it off to get to the rest of the parts. Then we start on the "inside" with the first piece you need to make for a 16th c. armor - the gorget. This has to fit to the body, and it is the basis of the rest of the upper armor. Then we move on to some very distinct styles of breastplate. Then on to some gauntlets. Then on to a study of how arms (including pauldrons) work.
