We wanted to share what we have been working on with you, our take on the Noble 6 Spartan armour. This is our second steelworking project, after a pair of steel Mandalorian suits of armour. This is an ongoing project that we started in July, 2024. The build is going to be a fairly stock unit, with just a few small personalisations and attachments.
Steel is our medium of choice. It’s mild steel, 1.6mm thick for those interested. So far, we have most of the steelwork done for the helmet, and are currently working on the chest plate.
Our intention is to recreate the armour as accurately as possible, through our own handmade style. This project won’t be limited to steel, it’s also going to have an undersuit and an electronics system that we make up as well.
There’s quite a few bits of armour to do, so we’ll update with the milestones as they happen. For now, here are some photos of the helmet so far:
Most of the remaining pieces have already been made with only a few left, mostly around the visor. There’s still a lot of welding and cleaning to do, but we’re very happy with how it’s coming along.
We have been using templates found here on the 405th forum. They’ve been incredibly useful resource for us, and have saved us a lot of time. So thanks to those who contributed to it.
