Where did you get your pattern?

Designed myself. :-)

you plan to dye or stain or paint the edges of the vams or leave them natural?

I'm going to make reilief.

How bout some pics of the vams and gloves on the user person?

A bit later, but the gloves and vambraces are not the parts of the one set.

And as a bonus :P padded gloves:

Hello. Would you be so kind to help me with historical documentation for cuirbolli vambraces?

I'm assuming the overtunic is wool?

Yes, the cote is woolen.

The boots look like they are based on the Hedeby pattern, or am I seeing things that are not there?

Well, I've used the patterns from "Shoes and pattens. Medieval finds from excavations in London".

It is my first experience of making helmet generally and chapel-de-fer in particular. Well, here is progress-pics.

Check it out
[*]Knight Effigies, 12-13C
[*]Coifes from Korsbetningen, 14th C.
I think you'll understand your mistakes.

As for your 13th C pics - it is too difficult to be inspired to make separate coif after looking through images with coifes of haubergs.

Pro Fide, fra!

sersem

Sorry to critcize your work, but where are examples of such kind of separate coif with mouth flap in the Mac's Bible? :( AFAIK, there were no separate coifes with mouth flap in the 13th-14th C. BTW, what for did you add flap? All the same, it doesn't show us "like miniature profile" with pronounced ...

Clinker, could you give me a reference to the story about R-LH and breastplare? Is it a historically accurate source?

Sebastian, http://www.mediumaevum.com/75years/mirror/

Magmaforge, do you really want to say that breeches (as far as I understand brais) were boiled to stiff? How could it be assocoated with the word "soft linen"?

sersem

the gambison made of soft linen thoroughly blackened

he should wear good soft breeches made of soft and thoroughly blackened linen cloth

What is 'blackened'? Coloured to black or dark?

Russ, I have Kirpichnikoff's scan (about 200Mb). As a paper book it is a very rare artifact.

Endre, Ulyanovsk is to the north of Caspian Sea. :-))

Here you can find some tables with drawings of 'russian' guarnament, including arrow's heads (#135-140): http://history.tuad.nsk.ru/Author/Russ/A/Arcihovskij/siti/g7_tabl.html And these are compilation pages with javelins (from the Kirpichnikoff's book): [img]http://hospitaller.vityaz-master.ru/arti...

sersem

Sersem, what is the size of these suckers?

Ehhh? Don't understand. What is the 'sucker'?

The haft's length is 150 cm. The javelin head's width is about 4 cm and length is 20 cm.

The javelin's head is copied from russian sulica descripted by Kirpichikov in 'Russian Arms'n'Armour'.
