You should go to some of the smaller venues around the country and see how long you can get away without being noticed. BTW loved the MAKING OF videos with Terry English. His work is AMAZING !!!!
Aluminum is 1 thing but real armor wasn't made from that as far as I know... Try hardened steel or something like that... It's heavy but it's also very flexible when custom fitted exactly like you said... That is very important... My armor is hardened steel with mirror polish on 1 suit and normal polish on my 1st set... N let me tell you it's heavy as hell N hot ass hell... Do know Im wearing gambeson underneath it as it's more real towards 14th N 15th century armor that I'm basing off... Yh kingdom come deliverance cosplay what can I say xD
Small Note for you, if you would ever do armor again in the future like this. Knights who wore full plate armor like what you have, Wouldnt wear a full shirt of chainmail underneath their plate. Instead they would wear something called an Arming Doublet, which was a gambeson, which had chainmail woven into it to provide protection to the flex points, such as the armpits and groin. This may help to make your costume more acurate, while increasing comfort.
There's also some sense to it, if you scream HI ADAM SAVAGE I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!!!!! then it's going to be an instant mob scene and the end of your interaction, if you're quiet and calm enough about it, you can probably get a couple minutes of just talking with Adam Savage. If you can keep your cool, it seems like it pays off in a much better experience.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone yelling that would cause people to jump to Adam's rescue, telling the person not to be so rude. People at Comicon are nice.
I'd imagine that events like this have camera crews around for promotional video's. But yea when they are following one particular person it's not hard
@@nubreed13 I visited Dutch Comic Con a few times and joined the competition once, it was fun. The outfit I was planning to wear the next time (eventually I did not go) was a dress I'd bought somewhere, so I wouldn't have won the costume-competition either way. But they had totally changed the rules by that time and said; 'You need to register yourself a few months before. Then you need to have people vote for your costume online. The more people you convince (a.k.a. the bigger channel you have) the more votes you get and the more you might be able to join. Then you need to proof that your stuff is handmade, but materials can be (and have to be) expensive and it needs to have costed 'so-so-many' hours. Then there was a rule about competing online with the others, having to promote Comic Con and...I don't even know anymore. In the end, there'd be 3 winners (instead of a few more) and instead of Worbla and honour, the prices were a 2-week-trip to Ibiza with a luxury 5 star hotelroom and some activities, which ofcourse you had to film yourself enjoying and say; 'Thank you Comic Con!' a lot of times. Anyone that did not commit hours and hours to this competition, was out. This way, it ruined everything for amateurs and only left the opportunity for the rich and for the professionals. And therefore I decided not to attend Comic Con again, at least not in the near future. It has been so commercialised, I feel like I'm (unable to be) paying them to be able to purchase their items and attention.
Fun fact : Modern military salutes came from knights in full body armor lifting up their visors with their straightened hand in respect towards their opponent.
That's one of several theories. Some say it evolved from showing an empty hand (that type of salute dates back before there were full body armours), some say it symbolises removing one's hat, and some say it represents Vectron's Kindly Claw.
I heard it was from an ancient Zoroastrian royal tradition that involved the new king striking himself upon the forehead for good luck and a prosperous reign.
I heard it's from an ancient Klingon tradition of scratching your face to show you have the blood of the warrior caste flowing through you. Another theory, more grounded I think, is that it's based on the procedure of establishing a telepathic link in order to exchange credentials by the incognito lizards that rule the Earth.
I don't know why people think full plate armor was/is so uncomfortable and unmaneuverable. In the heat of battle, sure, any suit will be uncomfortable and sometimes bulky, but walking around like Adam said, it's quite pleasant. Not to mention that you feel like a total badass while doing it! Awesome costume Adam, great work of art!
Now, imagen when you have to fight in it. I mean with a real aketon and chainmail under it. Not 1.2 mm, but the full 2.5 and 3.0 mm harded steel and battle ready sword....
@@georgewillems32 i can only recommend watching Videos in RUclips from people going into a Gym in knight Armor or people doing stunts and stuff it's really interesting and you can See Very Well how good Knights actually could move
I remember seeing him in one of his presentatons talk about how he always wanted as a kid to wear a suit of armor just like in Excalibur and well, here we go. I also found it ironic that a full set or armor is also one of his most comfortable costumes yet.
How's it ironic? Even actual contemporary plate armour was comfortable for knights to wear. That's the point. If it inhibited the knight's movement he'd get shafted on the battlefield.
In the TED talk Wilson referenced, Adam discusses how he wore a full suit of armour to school for halloween (I think?) that was hot and heavy and awful but Adam loved it because it was his suit of armour. Then he passed out! That's why it'd be ironic. :)
I've been trying to see if the dents in the armour sets line up... Is this actually the armour from the series they're just putting out? Poor Terry having to wait that long for coverage
yeah, their friendship was "professional" but i think it's not to the point that they would hate each other. they just don't want to work with each other in the future.
kimm Yea hate probably isn't the word they would use, they just have different ideas on how to work and are at times polar opposites. They both have said that it made them push each other creatively but as we can imagine it could be quite a stressful environment.
I know its not canon, but you should have glued a set of googly-eyes to the face stocking. That way people would get an extra surprise when you opened the helmet to find Marvin the martian
You should cosplay as someone doing a bad job cosplaying as you. (Ie wear a wig of you hair, maybe get a little of the fancy face-changing make-up to seem like a different person, etc.
Even though it wasn't part of the original costume, Adam totally should have added a huge, blowing in the wind type cape. It woulda taken the while thing to another level. Wait, why stop there? Why not throw in some wheelies... Imagine seeing a suit of armor come gliding past you.
I love how he's a massive nerd at heart, just like the rest of us. And as someone who also wears a lot of costumes to cons, I can say from experience that this video perfectly showcases what it's like: The long af line The costume(s) that are so complicated you can't put them on or take them off all by yourself "Isn't that uncomfortable?" "Not really!" The joy in having your own costume, especially one that you made yourself People wanting to take pictures of your awesome costume The realization and feeling that all of the struggles prior to it were worth it!
Very nice tribute and adulation to the movie "Excalibur". One of my favorites! The armor was spectacular to watch on screen with the lighting they used in the movie. What a dream come true to go get to work with the creator of the movie armor! Proly no one, if any one, recognized the glorious style of the armor you wore and the movie it was associated with. Seen many just walk on by and others looking like it was just a guy in a suit of armor.... So cool to see it worn again, though newly made, over 30 years later. Thanks Adam!
This is so cool! After watching your TED Talk on Cosplaying and your experience as a knight it's awesome to see you wearing a full set of armor and not passing out! Cosplay dream achieved!!
The woman on security at the exit had a priceless reaction. Can you imagine getting a security job at Comic-Con with no idea what you were in for. Talk about culture shock.
That's honestly like the greatest compliment you could give someone at comic con by asking if they're Adam, that means the asker thinks that your costume is so good that Adam Savage himself put it together :)
I love this build. Knights in shining armor are overdue for a comeback after Game of Thrones sort of beat the boiled leather and exposed face look into the ground.
Yeah, but Game of Thrones is all about killing off important characters, and shiny steel armor makes it harder to kill the knight who’s wearing it. At least in that fantasy setting.
@@Puppet_Gamer Shame really,in the earlier seasons the Knights were actually decked out in beautiful,full plate armor that actually worked.They then proceeded to give them Hollywood armor that just looks fancy and doesn't work.
Super jealous of that armor suit. Excalibur is my all-time, favorite movie because of the depictions of the armor suits (among many other reasons). I have wanted one my entire life. Excellent replica and I am sure you had an absolute blast wearing it.
Actually real plate armor didn't weigh that much, around 40 pounds. Tournament armor weighed a bit more since that was for use on a horse but even that was surprisingly light. Most of this was due to having varying thickness of steel throughout the armor, depending on what forces a specific part was intended to withstand. Front center breastplate was for example quite thick, but insides of arms and legs were thinner since those places were not expected to receive as powerful impacts. In the end a soldier has to function or the armor means nothing.
The amount of mail under plate was a mater of how good the plate was and how much it covered. That being said, it varied according to time and place. The overall evolution, however, was first to put plates over mail, then the plates overlapped and articulated, then the mail became redundant and was only attached to the gambeson (padded coat) in places like the armpits, the inside of the elbows, and the skirt, where the plate did not cover.
Ha! I called it! When Adam asked on Facebook what we thought he would do for his incognito, I suggested that he go back to his roots and build a suit of armor. Nailed it! And, hey, it looks AWESOME, Adam!
Ok, so I was confused AF, cuz I just watched the making of the suit that was released today. I had no idea those videos were 2 years old, lol. Threw me for a loop for a sec when I see this old video pop up in my feed right now, lol. Still gonna watch it:)
RUclips search "adam savage incognito ringwraith", it should come right up, it was ComicCon 2012. Another instance of having a nice weapon to go with the costume, and leaving it behind.
After watching the series on how this armour was build, I never thought it was an older recording. Especially, since the building series was just uploaded in February 2019.
The Ginga Ninja There's an ability in sneak that eliminates the armor penalty for sneaking, but doesn't actually affect the sound effects the armor generates.
When he has the helmet down, the small amount of reverb from his helmet reminded me of an old radio sound. I love that aesthetic to sound. Makes me feel warm. :)
Almost 3 years later & we finally get to see the build on RUclips. It's not a complaint btw, I'm more than happy to wait for the quality content you guys put together.
Actually, Steel armor can weigh from 30-55lbs. Edit: Full military load can weigh over 100 lbs. The vest plus front/back/side plates will weigh 30lbs for small up to 48lbs for large and more, the helmet is 10lbs, gas mask 2-4 lbs, assault pack 20 lbs (ruck being 65 or 80 lbs), 7 fully loaded magazines ~10 lbs, and weapon 5 lbs.
@@ombnonsensicalnuts7875 Around 25kg/50lb is the average for extant suits of armour, going up to 35kg/70lb for the very heaviest suits designed to be worn on horseback. Highly recommend any of the lectures by Dr Tobias Capwell (there are several on RUclips) if you're interested in learning more!
2019 and the videos are here. It has been a great series so far and I can't wait till the last couple episodes are out. I have always loved medieval things including armor. Every video is a treat. Keep doing great work to Adam and the Tested team. I don't get to go to all these big Cons but I hope to run into you someday.
Funny I see this just after watching Savage's TED talk about his love of Cosplay and his early experience by building suits of armor inspired by his childhood love of the Excalibur. We have come full circle.
Adam I think it's wonderful that you've had the experience of crafting this project. Your passion for this really shows in this video, and in past videos of this series. Congratulations!
lol i think you meant incognito, incogneton sounds like the name of a decepticon that disguises themselves solely as minivans to spy on people "keep your voices down, that could a decepticon" "nah, it's a kia soul, who'd squeeze into a weird little square like that? uncomfortable"
"Are you Adam?" Of course it's Adam! Who else would have a costume like that? Great series of videos. I enjoyed every second... and it looks like so did Adam.
"Listen , strange women , laying in ponds , distributing swords , is no basis for a system of government . Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses , not some farcical aquatic ceremony . "
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool.
It looks amazing, a shame that the visor kept popping open slightly. With this sort of full plate harness, an "arming jacket" with patches of mail in strategic places (armpits, inside the elbows, etc) and mounting "points" for the pieces to attach to, rather than a full mail hauberk, would be worn underneath.
Man, conventions really have turned into 100% corporate showcases. Since everything is available on the internet now, no more wandering tables upon tables full of bootleg VHS tapes of hidden, unknown treasures and surprises.
well vassal is pretty much any feudal subject of a lord or this case knight. Squire is pretty much the personal assistant of the period. In that at the time of said personal assistant involved, carrying shield, helping the knight with his armor and taking care of armor. Actually being vassal and squire are completely unrelated, though not mutually exclusive. The squire could be also a vassal, if the squire was for example a son of one of the knights subjects thus oving feudal loyalty to him. However at times squires were sons of other knight/ other prominent people and did not ove feudal loyalty to the knight (outside of one oath of service given as part of being a squire).
Anaru Carroll, I have no idea if the spelling changed between now and in the past. And I have no idea if Squire is the correct spelling to use. I'm French ^^"
_Excalibur,_ even to this day, is the greatest King Arthur legend movie ever made. It just has all the things such a movie needs: Great characters, acting, direction and incredible and perfectly appropriate MUSIC. So good! So far, nothing else has even come close (IMHO).
As someone doing medieval fighting in real armor... This aluminium thing must be a blast. I remember the last time we went to castle Hornberg and the way up wasn't usable for cars... I was done just from walking up there. A aluminium armor would come in handy in such circumstances, even if it's protection isn't as good at all...
You fight with the strength of many men, sir knight. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot. You have proved yourself worthy, will you join me?
Best Arthur movie because of stuff like that. The knights riding through the apple grove while all the blossoms fall is one of the best scenes in the film.
Haha! That is what I plan on doing when I'm able to afford a steel version, that a company happens to make here in the U.S. which is also historical, called the "Discerner" :). I'll have to display it in such a way that I can bathe it in green lights! "Excalibur . . . I call, on your power".
Watching this after watching his TED Talk on cosplay and about how excited he was to see and make his own Excalibur armor, you know he was so giddy to finally wear this to a con.
Please keep the content coming! Hope to find you at one of thee conventions some day! That would be so awesome! Again thank you for you're videos. Going to go watch you're one day builds now

Step 2
Find the voice

Anyone who’s costume looks better than the original
Step 3: find cameras, a phone can be considered a camera

At some point Adam really needs to make an exhibition with all of his ComicCon costumes.

John Johnson I doubt too many as he probably sticks out like a sore thumb considering he has a cameraman following him
Black mask was a good idea
I love this build. Knights in shining armor are overdue for a comeback after Game of Thrones sort of beat the boiled leather and exposed face look into the ground.
Your voice is not of the few, but the many
Yeah, but Game of Thrones is all about killing off important characters, and shiny steel armor makes it harder to kill the knight who’s wearing it. At least in that fantasy setting.
@@Puppet_Gamer Shame really,in the earlier seasons the Knights were actually decked out in beautiful,full plate armor that actually worked.They then proceeded to give them Hollywood armor that just looks fancy and doesn't work.
Super jealous of that armor suit. Excalibur is my all-time, favorite movie because of the depictions of the armor suits (among many other reasons). I have wanted one my entire life. Excellent replica and I am sure you had an absolute blast wearing it.
Excalibur is one of my favorite films of all time. Bravo!!!
Actually real plate armor didn't weigh that much, around 40 pounds. Tournament armor weighed a bit more since that was for use on a horse but even that was surprisingly light. Most of this was due to having varying thickness of steel throughout the armor, depending on what forces a specific part was intended to withstand. Front center breastplate was for example quite thick, but insides of arms and legs were thinner since those places were not expected to receive as powerful impacts. In the end a soldier has to function or the armor means nothing.
You also would not be wearing a full maille shirt underneath, just a gambison with maille voiders.
the real downside of plate armour was its cost.
Ah another intellectual of armor
NekoVeil actually some knights did wear full mail under the breast plate, especially in Italy.
The amount of mail under plate was a mater of how good the plate was and how much it covered. That being said, it varied according to time and place. The overall evolution, however, was first to put plates over mail, then the plates overlapped and articulated, then the mail became redundant and was only attached to the gambeson (padded coat) in places like the armpits, the inside of the elbows, and the skirt, where the plate did not cover.
Ha! I called it! When Adam asked on Facebook what we thought he would do for his incognito, I suggested that he go back to his roots and build a suit of armor. Nailed it! And, hey, it looks AWESOME, Adam!
With the face mask on and the helmet open, you look like Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Film.
RobertHarrisonBlake at least he didn't have to face the vicious chicken of Bristol
Samael do not speak of the beast or it will attack
**Intense parrying noises from a buckler shield begin to ring louder and louder in my head** CASUL HAS BEEN SLAYED
Ok, so I was confused AF, cuz I just watched the making of the suit that was released today. I had no idea those videos were 2 years old, lol. Threw me for a loop for a sec when I see this old video pop up in my feed right now, lol. Still gonna watch it:)
The whole suit is amazing, but when he took the balaclava off, and he had his messy hair, it seriously made it look legit.
Sad to see the sword was obviously too realistic to get checked.
The line was too long....they didn't want to wait, that's all.
Flinn Gaidin Wooooooosh!
Why are we woooooshing?
Flinn Gaidin That’s the sound if the joke going over your head
You're _assuming_ he was joking.
And you know what they say about assuming...
Adam you should have a costume of Sauron or a nazgul
Melkor Morgoth he already has
Very Big Ron really?
That would be fantastic.
RUclips search "adam savage incognito ringwraith", it should come right up, it was ComicCon 2012. Another instance of having a nice weapon to go with the costume, and leaving it behind.
After watching the series on how this armour was build, I never thought it was an older recording.
Especially, since the building series was just uploaded in February 2019.
"We're gonna find more reasons for wearing this..."
One week later shopping at Walmart...
*CLANK*
Do you think Sir Lancealot used to lance a lot?.
Not as much as you'd think.
Uncle Traveling Matt ask lady Guinevere!
Uncle Traveling Matt ask prince Herbert
Lancelot got Robin Hood's chick too? Dang, those frenchmen get around.
SaveMe GrilledCheesus haha fml...i fixed it. ...
One of my favourite series! Great video.

I'd say he'd have a low sneak score, as that armor was really loud when he moved.
The Ginga Ninja
There's an ability in sneak that eliminates the armor penalty for sneaking, but doesn't actually affect the sound effects the armor generates.
When he has the helmet down, the small amount of reverb from his helmet reminded me of an old radio sound. I love that aesthetic to sound. Makes me feel warm. :)
Almost 3 years later & we finally get to see the build on RUclips. It's not a complaint btw, I'm more than happy to wait for the quality content you guys put together.
"Are you Adam Savage?"
"Wow that was fast."
Best response ever.
The armor looks awesome. I'm quite jealous :D
Actually, Steel armor can weigh from 30-55lbs.
Edit: Full military load can weigh over 100 lbs. The vest plus front/back/side plates will weigh 30lbs for small up to 48lbs for large and more, the helmet is 10lbs, gas mask 2-4 lbs, assault pack 20 lbs (ruck being 65 or 80 lbs), 7 fully loaded magazines ~10 lbs, and weapon 5 lbs.
Full plated armor can weigh much more than that what you smokin?
@@ombnonsensicalnuts7875
At best, full plate armor is 60 pounds bro.
@@ombnonsensicalnuts7875 Around 25kg/50lb is the average for extant suits of armour, going up to 35kg/70lb for the very heaviest suits designed to be worn on horseback. Highly recommend any of the lectures by Dr Tobias Capwell (there are several on RUclips) if you're interested in learning more!
Having just watched the TED talk about cosplay I have new appreciation for the significance of this costume!
"Are you Adam Savage?"
"Wow that was fast."
*"gasp"*
2019 and the videos are here. It has been a great series so far and I can't wait till the last couple episodes are out. I have always loved medieval things including armor. Every video is a treat. Keep doing great work to Adam and the Tested team. I don't get to go to all these big Cons but I hope to run into you someday.
"Are you Adam Savage"
Adam:"Wow that was fast"
That was wholesome and funny to me because of the lady and Adam's reacrion
Funny I see this just after watching Savage's TED talk about his love of Cosplay and his early experience by building suits of armor inspired by his childhood love of the Excalibur. We have come full circle.
Adam I think it's wonderful that you've had the experience of crafting this project. Your passion for this really shows in this video, and in past videos of this series. Congratulations!
When you become famous your public life is almost over
The new Dark Souls game is looking real lifelike!
All tested should do a group incogneton
lol i think you meant incognito, incogneton sounds like the name of a decepticon that disguises themselves solely as minivans to spy on people
"keep your voices down, that could a decepticon"
"nah, it's a kia soul, who'd squeeze into a weird little square like that? uncomfortable"
During every one of these incognito videos I just have this big dumb smile on my face. So awesome! 😁
"Are you Adam?" Of course it's Adam! Who else would have a costume like that?
Great series of videos. I enjoyed every second... and it looks like so did Adam.
"Listen , strange women , laying in ponds , distributing swords , is no basis for a system of government . Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses , not some farcical aquatic ceremony . "
I’m not old. I’m 37.
Ohhh there you go with your class systems again.
Come and see the violent inherent in the system
HELP HELP IM BEING REPRESSED
You just stay here an’ make sure he doesn’t leave!
Thy "feather" tis actually a plume!
When Adam pulls the faceless mask off after his walk - I thought, shit... Brienne of Tarth has a twin brother?!!
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool.
Fantastic! Boorman's "Excalibur" is one of my all-time favorite films.
The armor looks so sick and it's so cool that it's real armor made by a smith and he actually helped smith it. Adam Savage is the coolest nerd.
It looks amazing, a shame that the visor kept popping open slightly.
With this sort of full plate harness, an "arming jacket" with patches of mail in strategic places (armpits, inside the elbows, etc) and mounting "points" for the pieces to attach to, rather than a full mail hauberk, would be worn underneath.
2 years later I see the full armor just in the same time I'm looking Adam making it with Terry english
Man, conventions really have turned into 100% corporate showcases. Since everything is available on the internet now, no more wandering tables upon tables full of bootleg VHS tapes of hidden, unknown treasures and surprises.
From passing out in class to a pro in comicon. Good to see Adam fulfill his goal in the making for 30+ years
Your series with Terry English, you two are soul mates in that moment of time! Hope to meet you one day, you are one of my idols!
(I think he means Norm is his Squire, not his Vassal. ;-) )
One has a chance to become a knight and the other is not. I think.
well vassal is pretty much any feudal subject of a lord or this case knight. Squire is pretty much the personal assistant of the period. In that at the time of said personal assistant involved, carrying shield, helping the knight with his armor and taking care of armor.
Actually being vassal and squire are completely unrelated, though not mutually exclusive.
The squire could be also a vassal, if the squire was for example a son of one of the knights subjects thus oving feudal loyalty to him.
However at times squires were sons of other knight/ other prominent people and did not ove feudal loyalty to the knight (outside of one oath of service given as part of being a squire).
Ari Takalo good summary. That's what I was I was refering to in my original comment 👍
Squire = knight in training. Acts as assistant to his knight.
Anaru Carroll, I have no idea if the spelling changed between now and in the past. And I have no idea if Squire is the correct spelling to use. I'm French ^^"
"Fighting in this must be such a KNIGHTmare." Nice Adam... Nice.
I'd love to know how many people in cosplay had randomers walking up to them and asking "Are you Adam Savage?"
2 years after the walk, we saw how it was made. Worthed every second waiting.
_Excalibur,_ even to this day, is the greatest King Arthur legend movie ever made. It just has all the things such a movie needs: Great characters, acting, direction and incredible and perfectly appropriate MUSIC. So good! So far, nothing else has even come close (IMHO).
Imagina making a perfectly detailed sauron costume thats also 3 meters tall like sauron himself
And walking here
-raising hand - pet peeve here. I hate when people randomly reach out to touch costume parts without permission.
Ur in public.. stay in the basement if u dont want the attention
@@douglassinclaire9968 cosplay does not mean consent
Douglas Sinclair just because you are in public doesn’t give people the right to touch you without your permission... dumb ass
Idea for a one day build: Armour display stand, for armour and sword.
I can appreciate this so much more after watching the multi episode build series.
As someone doing medieval fighting in real armor... This aluminium thing must be a blast. I remember the last time we went to castle Hornberg and the way up wasn't usable for cars... I was done just from walking up there. A aluminium armor would come in handy in such circumstances, even if it's protection isn't as good at all...
You fight with the strength of many men, sir knight. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot. You have proved yourself worthy, will you join me?
Ketsueki Kumori What, ridden? On a _horse_?
you're using coconuts.
Will there be punch and pie?
THE BLACK KNIGHT YIELDS TO NOBODY !! ( sorry about the shouty caps but it's needed )
Ketsueki Kumori none shall pass. None shall pass!
If you wanted to be extremely accurate to Excalibur, you would have had a bunch of random green lights shining on you from every direction.
Best Arthur movie because of stuff like that. The knights riding through the apple grove while all the blossoms fall is one of the best scenes in the film.
Haha! That is what I plan on doing when I'm able to afford a steel version, that a company happens to make here in the U.S. which is also historical, called the "Discerner" :). I'll have to display it in such a way that I can bathe it in green lights!
"Excalibur . . . I call, on your power".
usually in a suit of armor like that you would not wear a hauberk you would wear an arming doublet with small chairman patches on the openings
Adam is off the charts cool! The suit is a close second!
Watching this after watching his TED Talk on cosplay and about how excited he was to see and make his own Excalibur armor, you know he was so giddy to finally wear this to a con.
I nominate Adam Savage to take the reigns from the late great Stan Lee as the patron saint of comic books.
Please keep the content coming! Hope to find you at one of thee conventions some day! That would be so awesome! Again thank you for you're videos. Going to go watch you're one day builds now
Going incognito mode on chrome i see you adam
The armor is beautiful. Your pal Terry does a great job.
the way the costume moves looks so cool!
