HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - June 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Master armorer Mohammed “Moe” Memon, from the Electric Chair, will be unveiling his new creations at the 2013 Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center.Moe is described as having a fascination with medieval history since childhood, he began building armor in 1986 at the age of 17, under an apprenticeship of a professional armorer. He trained with him for over a year. Then, joining the SCA, a medieval recreation group, there were tournaments all over, and he fought in them often.Learning to fight in armor under the tutelage of more experienced fighters, while perfecting the art of metal working as well as basic welding. At this time, steel was the metal of choice, and working it and forming it into armor became a great passion.

Over time, Moe learned to work with additional metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, copper, and brass.This gave him the ability to create more ornate pieces using the additional metals for decoration The aluminum was a great addition since it could be used for costume and fantasy pieces because it is significantly lighter than steel.The ability to go beyond simple combat armor raised the level of the art form.These additional skills also allowed Moe to cater to people interested in cosplay, period re-creationists, medieval combatants, and simply those who would like to have a suit of armor or something fun for Halloween. Many people will find something exciting within his realm of metal working entertainment.

A formal launch was planned through the family business, the Electric Chair, at their retail location in Huntington Beach California and on http://www.electricchair.com.
