After completing that assignment I can tell you some interesting things.
The actual armour in the museum might be his brothers.
The armour was honed by testing stolen police guns of the day from bushwhacking coppers.
The coppers guns at the time were the most accurate and powerful around.
The armourers were never found, a series of armour tests was found in a cave many years afterwards.
It was common in the day to collect trophies.
On officer turn his nutbag into a purse !
eeww.
He was shot many times yes, the top of his helmet was exposed if he leant forward.
He had only 30% vision with the visor, his best trick was to spray with a shotgun, and then finish you off with a handgun, when he bushwhacked.
The whole kelly affair co-incided with the irish revolution at the time.
When he was caught he went to melbourne jail/goal.
During his first visit the sewer pipe cleaner got arrested sneaking people out.
The olde sewer collector told ned and he slid through the sewer to escape one night.
The guards were tipped off, when caught on the other side he knew of the accuracy to the weapons of the day and challenged the guards for a running start. They said no.
Then they hung him for good
Then they made a deathcast of his head.
The armour I made my model off might be his brothers suit due to trophy hunting.
It is rumoured the captain of the guard got the breastplate.
