[TheForge] Armour Stand

[Jerry Frost]

I haven't done a lot of looking but what I have seen makes me think 
stands are armatures rather than "stands." Plate armour especially isn't 
donned like clothes it's strapped on in sections, front and back. As I 
recall everything but the helm and gauntlets are front and back halves. 
If so, it's make a simple welded armature a pretty simple build. You'd 
need the suit of armour and under garments and the undergarments might 
be the really tricky part to fit.

Bruce's right, the drawn broad sword and hands on the hilt is cool, very 
cool.
