Description
It's Finally done!! This is the completed Torva Armor, from RuneScape.
Made from 16g steel, and some 22g (helmet and boots), some machine screws, a few pieces of tie-down strap, some chainmail, and about 12 cheap cat/dog collars for the buckles.
Took about 3-4 months to complete.
Final cost for materials... $548.00
Final weight...
Helm - 3 lb.
Body - 22.5 lb.
Legs - 19.5 lb.
Boots - 7 lb.
Chainmail - 31 lb.
Total (by itself, w/chainmail shirt) - 83 lb.
Total (without chainmail shirt) - 65.5 lb.
Total (worn, without chainmail shirt) - 192 lb.
(I rarely use the chainmail shirt, as it is very heavy, and hard to move with it on.)
EDIT: I totally forgot, but an enormous thanks goes out to Brio Wolf on RuneScape for posing in full Torva for me. I wouldn't have been able to see anything but the front otherwise, and the armor would not look as good as it does if not for him.

i hate to point this out, but will you do something about the exposed neck area?
aside that, let me ask, how much mobility do you have with that armour on?

Hey, feel free to point out problems. If no one did, then I'd never know what to fix! lol. However, this helmet only covers that area by design, and unless someone were to stab me, the spikes and shoulders actually protect me from slashing attacks.
Oddly enough, this armor is very heavy, but retains great mobility. Assuming I take it easy on the stairs, I can almost run in this!

Well you may not be able to see it cuz of the helmet, but when I wear this on Halloween, I'm gonna be grinning like that for real.
(The troll grin and sunglasses are me posing as my own pic on here, "Torva avatar". The one I used for my old profile pic.)

Do you have an ending weight for us? It's so cool! I wish I was a millionaire I would fly us both out to Runefest and have you make me some armour. I'd help of course!

I forgot to weigh it last time I put it on, (and it takes a while to put it on) But I'll be sure to get the weight next time. I can say, that the platebody weighs about 14lb, and the legs weigh about the same.

I dearly wish I was. 
Sadly, I can't afford to travel to another country for a long time. I will, however, be wearing it for Halloween this year.
