Canadian artist Jeff de Boer creates super-gorg, historically accurate metal armor for cats and mice based on different eras – from ancient Roman gladiator armor to Renaissance knight armor suits.
He started making these sculptures over 30 years ago as a little side project on his sculpting class. The side project eventually turned out to be the work of a lifetime.
Jeff uses various metals for his creations, but mostly bronze and copper. One tiny mouse armor takes from 10 to 40 hours to make and a cat armor takes from 50 to 200 hours. He has tried putting the armor on his cat only once, and still has the scars. (via Bored Panda)
