There's a nice little photostory in today's Guardian about the guys producing armour for the Papal Swiss Guards. link The armour is Renaissance-style, of course, though I did wonder if this actually belongs in Ultramodern! |

Interesting! Wonder if they are heat treating it or leaving it as mild steel? Also curious as to how much of their time is put into the production of the 9 harnesses per year? A fair bit of extra detailing on those helmets. |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
