Handmade by award winning artist Robert Valentine of Valentine Armouries: With over 50 years as an artist, and over 35 years working in metal, Rob’s creations have been sold to collectors worldwide.

You’ve probably seen Rob’s metalwork in movies and TV and didn’t even know it! For HGTV’s Property Brothers- a suit of armor and weapons, for American Restoration- armor in a webisode, and on History Channel’s Pawn Stars too. Movie works include Night at the Museum 1, 2 and 3, Seventh Son, Underworld- Rise of the Lycans and Evolution. He supplied armor, weapons and props for these as well: Beowulf and Grendel, The 13th Warrior, Shanghai Noon, Blade II, Dungeon Seige, Indiana Jones- Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Stargate: SG1, Dracula 2000, MythQuest, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and Lonesome Dove.

Robert painstakingly hand hammers, welds, paints, and rusts all parts to replicate classic cars: The days when autos were handmade with a lot of style and elegance. Reminisce Classic Cars as well as auto-related items in a smaller scale with Backyard Relics!
