Gothic plate armour (German: Gotischer Plattenpanzer) was the type of steel plate armour made in the Holy Roman Empire during the 15th century.
While the term “Gothic” in art history covers the 12th to 15th centuries, Gothic plate armour develops only during 1420–1440s, when the technological development of armour reached the stage where full plate armour (including movable joints) was made, and national styles of “white armour” began to emerge, specifically German (“Gothic”) and Italian (Milanese). Centers of armour production in the period included Augsburg, Nuremberg and Landshut. (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_plate_armour , 2019)
This is my first try at modeling Medieval armor so there is quite a lot of room for improvement.
