Check out this posable plate mail armor that I'm working on. When completed, it will have interchangable parts that can be combined to make hundreds of different knights. Let me know what you think. p.s. The background was done using Terragen, a great landscape program in the making.

yeah! ::ahem:: and where's the barding for the horse? ;) (i wish terragen would work on my system without crashing every three minutes :/ )

If you want to be technical (sorry-the old teaching habits are hard to break) this is more in the line of Gothic/Maximillion Plate Armour. Plate Mail should be termed a more acurate Plate "and" Maille. It was the transitional to the full body covering armour with multiple lames to cover the joints from the earlier ridgid plates covering the "straight" parts of the pby with cahin maille filling in. If you'd like (since I am hunting through the books for something else) I can post a set of armours and weapons with their names, ages and countires of origin. (Sorry again. I just like armour and weaponry from around the world. If anyone ever wants to learn to make real chain maille they can write me.)

Very nice!!! But I'm a little worried about this knight. His throat is exposed. One of his most vulnerable parts. Shouldn't he have some protection there? Melanie

Called a gorgette. Look at any modern cervical collar and scale it down a little.

He's still a work in progress. I'll be adding chain mail around the neck and hips. The suggestions are really helpful. Bring'em on.
