The Hobbit (2012-2014) - all 3 movies but our products got the most screen time in the 3rd movie on the Mirkwood Elves The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) The Hobbit - The Battle of Five Armies (2014) In 2011, we were contracted by Weta Workshop to make 40 shirts for elf armor. The assembly didn't end there though! Eric Matwe, our staff member at the time and now and owner of MailleTec.com, was then flown down to the set in New Zealand and got to work with Weta costumers to re-imagine the scales and how they fit with the rest of the Elven armor. The project changes from shirts to panels on the edges of the coats for the Mirkwood Elves. The scales are small champagne anodized aluminum.

Warcraft - The Beginning (2016) We did a HUGE amount of work for the Warcraft - The Beginning in the fall of 2013! We did a lot of custom work including custom ring profiles, custom casting and a new scale size. In total the project was about a million rings plus scale work. Here is some trivia about our work on this amazing project. - We worked with MailleTec Industries Inc. to make scale armor that used 3 sizes of scales. - The medium scale we now sell was originally custom made for the WoW movie! (http://bit.ly/1K8sReB) - We made matching scale horse barding - 2 full sets plus a bunch of scale collar pieces. - We developed the the custom "roped" and patterned triple rings we now sell for this movie. Our SXAB-DRN-TPL1212 ring (http://bit.ly/1K8sKjh) was designed custom for this movie! - We made 88 SUITS OF CHAINMAILl!! 25 were shirts and faulds sets, 60 were shirts only. Each shirt was waist length with 1/2 sleeves. Assembly used 30 chainmailers over the course of 3 months. 670,000 rings total. - We designed and made 24 sets of horse armor from bright aluminum 12g 1/2" about 350,000 rings in total bringing us up to about 1 million rings - We worked with our Chinese caster to make 3000 custom brass buckles used on armor in the movie.

Seventh Son (2016) We did a lot of work for Seventh Son. Not only did we get to supply the scales for the awesome Mother Malkin's Dresses made by MailleTec - we also got to make 20 full suits of hybrid polycarbonate / chain armor! We made punched 16g 3/8" stainless connected with 16g 5/16" aluminum. The armor was made using overlapping shaped and laser engraved polycarbonate plates to make a double row on the chest. We made overlapping plates to cover the arm from shoulder to elbow - but they don't appear in any costume pics. We also made shaped greaves from laser engraved polycarbonate - they are made from 3 plates connected with thin strips of chainmail that cover the shin and calf. These plates and chain are seen on the Assassins. The movie costuming staff painted these plates so they will not be clear as we made them. The red and black dress was made by MailleTec.com using of course our scales. The dress was originally designed to be worn by Julianne Moore but she vetoed it when she tried it on. It took months to make and some extreme scalemail skills by the best in the industry - but it was cut. It appears as set decoration in the film. It has since been donated to The Museum at FIT in NY (Fashion Institute of Technology) Since the dress was vetoed Dane Duncan of MailleTec.com went to the filming location and custom made the black scalemail bodice referred to as the Double Vertebra Dress. This scale portion of the Double Vertebra Dress was made by MailleTec.com using of course our scales and is the dress used in the film.
