I dont care what people say, I still love your kit Bry!! You should write up some documentation and enter into A&S

Of course, Im volunteering to help proofread.

because when you pad the cheeks right you get locked into the helmet and it provides a more solid padding system then a chin strap,safest type of helmet i have ever fought in. That's what I do for my helm...it is a "different" feeling and I say that cuz Im used to chin straps from wearing...

Hello! I want to show off my most recent piece of artwork. It was loads of fun and I had to learn some bookbinding in order to do this as well as the book chemise.

Thanks everyone for your help! I have decided to leave the section blank and if the recipient wants a specific quote or short story I will callig it in. I was going to go with something Arthurian but nothing was really "speaking" to me.

To stick with the "theme" Ive got running I would prefer English but it can be in Latin (it would need to have "religious" substance to the wording and can fit for "Use of Rome" part of the source Im recreating).

Neat picture. Are the trousers St. Orestes is wearing quilted or is that some kind of plaid with little 'studs' at the junction? What do you think? I dont think I recall ever reading about "studs" in leggings for Byzantine. From the little bit I know, the design you are referring to, was ...

Rohesia

Really struck me as a neat painting to be able to see the inside of the shield. I think it is rare to see the shield grip in general so I thought I'd share it.

Vivats to Sir Bryan of Sacred Stone! I guessed the finals right, and I think he will be a great king. In addition to being an awesome fighter he is one hell of a nice guy. Cool guy indeed. And I find it cool he was my first fight in my first tourney after authorizing not more than 3 months ago. ~R

As Sir Vitus stated, people in general are not equal physically and mentally. <snip> When it comes down to it, the same things affect success as every other fighter for the most part when those are taken out of the picture: 1) Gear that Fits! 2) Proper technique and muscle memory for that person's ...

Something to consider before adding metal tips to strips of leather... How much will those strips move ?

That helm is definitely sexy (and, it was great to meet you Rohesia! ) Did you decide to put a little more padding in? I'm debating about how I am going to do it.
