This is now (one of) my wallpapers. Very nice.

BTW, this armor looks like one of the suits used in John Boorman's "Excalibur". Until the Lord of the Rings trilogy, that was the best fantasy movie (NOT sci-fi - that's a different genre) ever.

The Excalibur armor had alot of unrealistic shoulder spikes that would serve to catch a blade that should glance off instead. This looks like a very nice rendering of 15th century field plate. From the lines of the helmet, I'd guess Milanese, but I'm not an expert.
