Kick some ass sea-bass.

Bummed I am not able to join you boys Euric.
Any of your boys coming down for Mudthaw?

I've seen both the mounted Muslim warrior with the Green helm and the crusader who is taken at the end of the clip's pictures posted on this site in the past. Its kind of creepy to see them moving and such.
Excellent clip, thanks for posting

Any specific information as to whom would have worn something like this?
time? country (s) where this was in use? rank of the soldier who would wear this?

In Calontir all participants must submit a letter of intent and be OKed by the sitting crown before being able to actually enter the lists. thats no different then in the east and we've been getting about 50 or so for the last few years. all LOI have to be in about a month before the tournament for...

Seeing those nets in the Gulf Wars pics completes the picture for me, thanks Your Grace.. I play indoor soccer and we have that same netting around the hockey/soccer rink we play in. I know that people can just as easily catch a ball should it go out of rink but that bit of netting does the crowd an...

Joseph

Are there pics of this setup??

Joseph

awesome

A Pennsic that isn't East v. Mid is a year I skip out on and buy plane tickets to check out GWW and Estrella.

Joseph

I don't know Irish, I've had 2 different helms that definitely had a ring til it was padded properly...

Joseph

East vs Mid battles starting on time tourneys in the afternoon Champions Battle (loved 37's matchups) no silly "you can cross the river but you have to do it on your knees" thing. no handshakes beforehand or hugging as part of a battle strategy I actually really liked the great wall battle...

I mean the armorer should let the customer do the low-skill work. The SCA, after all, has a lot of craft-focused members. 3 type assembly kit for the win: rivet skull to grill and to slats, file/grind, buff etc. shinyhalo : If you want to have a hand in construction of your helm, Buy a kit from zwe...

Joseph

Dammmmnnnn girl. All the hardwork paid off. I am very proud of you.
That dress will get some heads snappin' for sure

the crowd in this picture is mindboggling. SCA was much groovier back then for sure.

I have RFH knees and elbows as do many of the people in our area. Can't go wrong there.

Joseph

24x36 heater since I started but I just started working with a 20 x 24 heater to improve my game

Joseph

Awesome surprise..
I am happy to see a dark horse win in such a deep list.
Congrats to HRH Edward

Congrats !!

I was barely authorized when I joined with the Serpentius Militia. Before my first Pennsic I bought my first aluminum shield after tiring of making and breaking my plywood ones. I wanted to put something "cool" on the shield for my 1st Pennsic. I asked permission of His Grace- Duke Darius ...

Joseph

Bhakail although having an official practice on thursdays, has enough leeway to set something up if you're coming through. PM me with your schedule and I'll get the boys together for something fun.

Joseph

If I was fighting at 15 my entire life would have been different.
My daughter is 12 and fighting and its awesome to see her so psyched on the SCA.

Joseph

Child abuse and civil lawsuits. Alot of states in the East have rules that could see people losing their houses over a bruise caused in a fight between an adult and a minor. Which is why we have division 4 - youth rattan. To even train (as in fight against them as a marshall) the Div 4 kids you have...

Joseph

Anything other then a Bring your best and follow the conventions and culture of the Kingdom is lame. period/schmeriod. I think its cool if aesthetically the king puts his touch on it, but to take away something which in my area is standard (thrusting tips) seems lame. However if the Caidan culture i...

Joseph

I have the cuisses fitted to be suspended from a simple belt.

Joseph

It's all a matter of figuring out what you have that the client needs and what the client has that you need. You (or in this case Brand /WCA) had the talent/shop/tools/experience to make armor The client has the money to buy armor. How it ends up being Brand's compromise when you suggest that so th...

I've heard this story before though with so many changes.
Park in AZ....Park in california on a soccer field .

Joseph

the problem with the DVA stuff is that the plastic he uses you can get for cheaper and fit it specifically to you for way cheaper and cover it nicely. there are plenty of threads on this board for that. you shouldnt have plastic on your knees or elbow unless its stonekeeps plastic cops. the DVA join...

I don't want the BoD monitoring and policing ANY activity that is not directly related to the inner workings of the Society. I don't want them running credit checks for memberships, I don't want them monitoring my emails, I don't want them patrolling the Armour Archive and other groups to make sure...

Joseph

I used yellow on both my shields, but the hammers that are Or were inspired by a hardcore band's logo and they were yellow not gold so I stayed with what I got the idea from.

Thanks

You'll see mine when you grow the balls to come to Brill Street for a fair one

How many people on this thread are owed by Brand? Of the people who posted, how many are going to follow Chef's route and press charges or Dante's route and continue to E-beef til the cows come home? I've heard of armourers that basically pulled houdinis or such and have still a ton of people asking...

Joseph

for me I've decided on re-using the singular strap in the GDFB cuisses while also outfitting one for the back of my calf and on the side of my calf. Once in practice if I find that they tangle or something I'll go back to the drawing board.

Joseph

Try it out, the worst thing that would happen would be someone tell you to not do so anymore.

I was told the same by others as well, so I've made the adjustment as needed

Joseph

Again, the leather cap works and I have 2 local fighters with those sets. The set that I received had a mild steel cap version thus making the bend impossible.

Joseph

What style is this helm that you couldn't easily show him one available from an armourer or lead him to an armourer would agree to make it for him? I can't think of a reason aside from laziness and being broke on top of wanting to do things his own way that he can't have his desired helm build speci...
