Xena Hero screenused Armour pieces

Here is the complete set of the Xena Hero screenused armour used by stunt double during the latest season of the show. As the Xena leathers costume, this armour set was acquired from the Omarama Gallery from New Zealand, now, named Totara Peak Gallery/Big Rooster Antiques & Collectables that nowadays, had closed. The owners' daughter took over the business and decided to sell the entire collection in 2017/18 and each costume has a new place anywhere around the world.

This breastplate is quite different than the Todd's replicas, is bigger and the middle part of the breast is covered with leather and painted in copper tones, the breastplate made by Todd's has that part made of resin and painted in black. It is made of moduled plastic, in the series they've made plenty of breastplates in different materials: metal (copper), other alloy metal, resin and plastic for the ones used by stunts to avoid damage in fight scenes. It has an ultra realistic finish in copper tones, in both sides has a leather strap so that the breastplate can be held easily.

The shoulder guards are made of heavy leather like the one used for the Creation Ent gauntlets and armbands. At the beginning, I had acquired this shoulder guards with a moduled plastic copper lookalike pieces but I have decided to replace them for a more realistic ones, the metal pieces were made by a brazilian blacksmith friend, named Doug WP, who made it for me based in the screenused shoulder guards.

The backplate, same as the breastplate, ultra realistic finish in cooper tones, made out of moduled plastic. It is slightly curved inwards to adapt correctly to the shape of the back and has four leather straps so it can be held easily in the right place.
