You’ve got chainmail!
LEGO Castle sets have offered plenty of armor options for your medieval knight minifigs, from pauldrons to full plate, but while mail has been available on printed toro, the company hasn’t figured out how to deliver the supple weave of a true chainmail experience. Hamilton Whitney (@the_brick_hamster) solves the minifig chainmail problem by working with a really big head – one of the sorting bin variety!
