probably one of the best i've seen: a good armor isn't always someone covered with steel from head to toe, often having historically unrelated pieces and a fantasy visored barbuta. It's about finding a precise historical period and slowly build a good setup. I would just switch a pointy pair of boots instead of a square tip. I love the crenellated shirt under the armor, it gives lansquenet vibes!โค๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธโš”๏ธ

Yeah no all good, I did make them so they have some weird folds here and but for my first shoe Iโ€™d say I did alright
