The Armour Archive

Sieg

I want to be a Polish Hussar at the beginning of the "golden age" (1570 or so)

Sieg

Sorry folks was off at an event. :) First I really appreciate the info you all have put into this. It really does help me flesh things out and try to have a more accurate portrayal. :D That and its just fun to know. :P Someone once told me That one of the goals to aspire to is that if someone walked...

Sieg

Excellent. thank you both for your help. I will see about clarifying and see if it helps. The name "Geirolnir" is old Norse for "spear charger" and I have yet to find even remotely anything resembling it in polish. However, regardless I am not to terribly attached to the name. it was something I cam...

Sieg

Morning all, After failing my seach fu roll...... It was suggested to offer unto the brain trust that is the Armour Archive. I will throw this out to you and see if this is a plausible concept or no. For information sake this is SCA oriented. Creative yes but I am trying to be better about my accura...

Sieg

Sorry to leave you all hanging. :D I will dig through the documentation that we have for these kits, and I would very much like to continue the discussion. I realize that there may have been liberties taken in the design but from what I have seen, (via museum pieces) the brigandine itself is damn ne...

Sieg

as long as you promise not to cry...... those particular ones are just plastic plates. 1/8 inch abs. however, we do have some in the works that will be hardened leather. And I will be remaking mine with metal at a later date (need money). I will see about pulling the documentation for them and see w...

Sieg

here are some sca kits that may be what you are looking for, And yes I can document them. (although I confess I am going to have to dig for it)

But if this helps with a concept

Malcom Mor! IF..... If..........You ever come to an Estrella. and I find you across the field from me. I will crawl up the shield wall. and onto your head. I will then proceed to beat you into the earth.... and as your house and friends beat me into pudding on top of you...... I am going to laugh an...

Sieg

heheheh, Yeah Aaron has been with us for awhile, but he makes us all look bad ( or really good) it is because of him that Khara Gendu Wolf Pack is what it is today. The invitation will stand as He makes it. and yes Food tends to be a bit late as we are a fighting house and I dont get off the field t...

Sieg

If you do decide to work with Don Carter here.

It would be fun to have you and you might have to suffer my cooking though.

However from what I have been told. Its good food. and I know I run one of the cheapest kitchens.

Sieg

And I would really like to be able to do it in Mongolian text. anyone able to give me a hand?? pm me if you are able. and I will have the English available hopefu...

Sieg

That would be awesome to see you, Bring friends,

I am doing an actual feast next year so there will be copious amounts of meat involved.

Look forward to seeing you then.

Sieg

heheheheh, Sir Robert De Spencer still swings a stick on occasion as well as his lovely lady Sir Leah de Spencer. And their kits are even better now. Storming of Storm mountain is now Melee Madness Here in Artemisia and we are at the castle in Provo. I Had a wonderful opportunity to stand across the...

Sieg

Sorry if this may or may not be the correct forum for this. but I do not know how many of anyone actually makes it to the off topic area. My knight is in the Denver area on work, He has been instructed to get in touch with people but he has managed to not have any contact information for those indiv...

One thing I really enjoy about the St collin crew.... the persona portrayal is spanning hundreds of years and miles. That is wicked cool and I am indeed impressed. I am really impressed with the willingness of your group to put it all together and make it look good while still remaining true to what...

Sieg

I have a guy out here in Utah Specifically Salt Lake city. He works for "the leather factory" which is basically Tandy. They do Ship and can get you what you might be looking for. The guy you would talk to is my knight so he is SCA and if you are looking for some good armour sides he is not going to...

Sieg

you know it has been a really big year for His Highness.... one of his own squires gets knighted at Estrella. he goes and wins himself another crown. and to top it off he had to fight his own squire to get it. I wish I could have been there. Life has been unkind to me these last few and I have had t...

Sieg

Thanks Bro. I guess the knight needs something for those lonely nights..... :shock: thanks for the wiki link, that is kind of what I am looking for. In a nutshell if anything i am trying to find as much art or documentation that will get some ideas used in the symbolism and the such. The Mongols had...

Great West, castle battle: Breech in wall, in comes the tide. being the only shield at that point i did what I was supposed to do. charge and make them regret that they did it. Full tilt into large shield and blow the guy off his feet. Smite one. smite two. Still running. Hand of god smashes into ba...

Cool, as of now, and with the blessings of my lovely wife, I am going to make my trip to Estrella this coming year. :) Luckily something interfered with our anniversary which is the 1st of Feb, and we had to cancel it, which means I have credit sitting out there with airline tickets. So that actual...

from the mouth of the pre registration steward. (well sort of, more like fingers. :) ) *** 1) you must be pre registered for a Tuesday arrival to be admitted on Tuesday - same as last year 2) you can pre register by mailing the paper forms and sending a check or money order with the following deadli...

Sieg

I have an e-mail out to the main pre reg auocratt.

I will post when I hear from her.

Sieg

Sieg

I saw that one tto, I went to the Estrella website and checked.

I must have misread the above memo. saying that you had to pre register before dec 15th to be able to show up on tuesday.

ok.

I am still going and I will be there the whole time.

war is going to be so much fun.

Sieg

Sieg

whoah hang on a sec,

did I read that right.

if we are planning on showing up on tuesday, we have to do the pre reg by dec 15th?

my understanding is that we can do it online till the 31st of january

if this is the case there are some serious running around for me to do.

bleh.
