The prototype body section for the new 16th Century Mouse armour project. As this is going to be my latest edition of 12 mouse if you’re interested in owning one I will be asking $5,000.00 in Canadian funds for some 3,700.00 in USD. #jeffdeboer #mousearmour #gothicjewellery #metalarts #16thcentury

Thank you! I’m thrilled this one works. Sometimes it can go badly.

The first new tool for making the new edition of 12, 16th Century Mouse. It was fun building this edge rolling micro swage. #jeffdeboer #mousearmour #littlemetalfoxes #gothicstyle #jewellery #gothicsteampunk #metalarts #16thcentury #miniatureart #toolmaking #swage

My next edition of 12 mouse, the 16th Century mouse. This is the ultimate classic style of armour from the period. The reason for choosing this is I am being considered for exhibition for something like this at the Kunst Sammlugeon Der Vest Coburg Castle armour collection in Germany.
