【Watch In the Cut (2003)】

Get ready for some serious childhood envy.

Warren King is Watch In the Cut (2003)a full-time father and artist with a pretty unconventional product: cardboard sculptures.

"I started by making different helmets and toys for my kids, just for fun…  mostly Star Wars stuff, Lord of the Rings, and superhero costumes," the artist said. "All with cardboard, because it was free!"

"Then one day my oldest kid challenged me to make something 'more realistic.' It all started from there."

Now, King is going viral for this unbelievable medieval-style cardboard armor he built for his son.

"Up to that point, I had made all sorts of medieval stuff — helmets, swords, axes, shoulder armor.  The kids loved all that stuff.  But I had never attempted a full suit of armor, one that a kid could actually run around and play in," he continued.

"When Halloween came around one year, I thought I’d take up the challenge," he said.

We have to say, the artist definitely rose to the occasion.

"It wasn’t easy… It had to look right of course, but I also had to use some of my engineering background to make it strong and mobile enough," he continued.

When asked how his son reacted to the costume, the father said: "You can probably imagine what it’s like for a 6-year-old to put on a full suit of armor and be given a sword and shield."

"It’s pretty gratifying to be able to offer that to a kid."

"Lately, I’ve been spending most of my time making grown-up stuff, like my series of figurative sculptures," the artist revealed of his work. "Every so often, though, I go back to making a mask or helmet, and I rarely turn down a request from a kid for a cardboard sword."

"The next suit of armor will be for me," he joked.
