How to make armour articulations. The arm harness pt. 3. Medieval armor techniques #5

In this video I take a look at how I do armour articulation in elbows.

There is a great deal of mystery around articulated armour that, in a great many cases, is simply unwarranted. While simple enough to do, they can take practice to be able to really get to grips with.

This video takes a look at the essential steps required to make an articulation that works smoothly, remains closed throughout its motion and gives you a full range of movement.
