the garage and the basement being slap full of "sca" ish stuff are the only indicators of sca in my house.

hhhmmmmmm that ditch seems to be the source of much of the problems

Oh I guess I need to add in moments of asshattery I have thrown an elbow or 5. Spear shots to the body were blown off and the charging S&S fighter will often put his face in perfect place to catch an elbow to the face. Never had someone blow off elbow to the face even if they have no idea what ...

well i have a feel bad story - boarder raids a bunch a years ago there was a guy using a huge pole weapon that hit like a mac truck. he also was taking on the thicker end things. he was also in a line that he was anchoring the end of. he was also wearing leg armor that left his butt uncovered. and i...

Forgot to put the end time for this - it wrapps when I have to send off money. It workslike this - I order (which was done last week) - they make ( which is happening now???) - they want paid (pre-sale ends) and then they ship. Then I work like a dog dying packing and shipping.

Scotty - not sure where we hemmed yours - i used the one you sent back as a guide for yours and rehemmed it so my kid could wear it ... I'm not sure that was demeaning enough of a statement, Aldric. Could you possibly throw in a shot at my manhood while you're at it? sorry not trying be snarky

/me inserts the usual snipe about adding a size small. Or, the way you size things, a size extra small . . . I have the sample large they sent me which is being tweeked for the production run but its close to the "M" size - if ya wanna step in the virtual fitting room - i'll ship it to ya...

I prefer the longer ones. But, I do like the new neck line. Are you planning on doing a long line of tunics with that neck line? Sorta - I have a longer fuller one off to be sampled that has a "similar" neck line but different. That sample will prolly be shipped back with the production r...

crap! forgot pics Model is 6'4" and 250# - the purple tunic on under is the normal ones to show the difference in length. Use this link to see what the original sample looks like on a normal SCA badass fighter chick! http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=126966

The shipping will start as soon as I can dye and ship. Ups tracking says out for delivery - so they hit my door some time today. Historically it's late afternoon so I should be able to get stuff turned around to y'all tomorrow in some cases. Thanks! ============================================== ===...

these are lame pics but its down and dirty and the kid took em length wise im 6"4" 250# and wearing the XL in both tunics which at the moment are cut about the same. the production run im going for different sizing cause for some reason that seems like a good idea. at any rate you get the ...

Adric13

and i would post pics now but im home alone and they would be lame in the mirror shots till the kid gets home. he can aim a camera.

Adric13

long sleeve which will actually be a bit longer than the old tunics (scotty suggestion) cause its really easy to cut some off and the sleeves rip off if ya try to stretch them too far Lol, ahem, err, I know not what you speak of. You know you can count me in for one or two. It's the least I can do ...

Adric13

ok - I will be posting sample pics shortly of the new stuff and have my looking for fabric. I will start a new htread for the presale just to keep it all togather when the time comes cause right now might be tight for every one with christmas and all.

Seric - here in south downs made a suit in sheet bronze. most of the bits were retired due to weight but im pretty sure hes still using the gorget. not sure what it cost but looked great when it was polished up.

Really like 3/8 Baltic birch ply for flat shields! Good weight and plenty strong - go hit a wood store not the big box places. It comes in 5x5 sheets and might be about 40$? Or so.

I have a couple pounds I need to dig up - they are periodish cut hob nails. They are 0.10$/ea. At events but I can work ya a bulk order if your trying to do a bunch of shoes. Drop me a line if ya want.

Because every one knows that Vikings wore vests made out sheep skin I made one! And you wore the fuzzy side out cause that's the way Vikings did it - duh.... Ok so I could rivet and had a couple sheep skins I made a vest based on a suit vest I found in a thrift store! PJ pants and some fringe moc bo...

I would be interested in one (red, natural or white) and possibly two, depending on price and fit. Are the arms wide enough to wear bazubands under? Saxonreb thats a definate maybe! im 100% sure it might! ok i got no clue but if your in larryville and im in suwanee i bet we could do a try on at som...

All hand dyed, what shade of blu do ya want?

Adric13

yep - all true! as a vendor i do like to know i screwed up and have a chance to fix it too. - like the other day when i slapped the wrong shipping label on the wrong box and got a couple orders crossed - they told me and all is being fixed - but if no one speaks up i woulda never known.

<s> no shit there i was </s> rumor has it there was a 5 foot round shield with a lazy susan shield boss that the guy would roll along beside him and slip in behind when the action broke out. (I never saw it however) This was about the same time the tuchux were being touted as lawyers and CEOs slummi...

this is where I ended up after hearing about the other but am eithe going to look into the vib or some kind of lid. The bubble spray misted the bench and rusted tools and metal bits in a much larger radius than I expected.

Krylon acrylic paint pens. You can get various size pens for fat lines or fine lines. Can be found at most hobby and craft stores. Those and Ferric Chloride which I believe you can get at radio shack. Good combo for fairly intricate etching of brass, nickel, or aluminum. Tip: with the Ferric Chlori...
