The Armour Archive

Ckanite

Incredible!

Ckanite

Please try taking a few pictures for us to reference. Like how high is the highest point? what kind of gorget do you have? so on and so forth...

Ckanite

Yeah. It got me that start I have now. Without the Pattern Archive, I would have never stuck around on this wonderful site and met all you amazing nutters! I think it's about time to give it some TLC. Btw I know this would take up a bunch of JT's time, so I'd like to give him a bit of a thank you fo...

Ckanite

WOW! Watching your stuff grow and take form is an inspiration!

Ckanite

Very nicely done! Now on my to-do list! and Hal you should show us how to make your lantern as well!

Ckanite

Go for it! But why limit yourself to just vertical? Why not have the slots curved or flaired? Make it decorative as well as functional. It would do three things like that, give you more air and light, wouldn't limit view to shots coming at you in any specific direction, and would just look plaion sw...

Ckanite

Maybe I'm missing something but why cuts the slits?

Ckanite

Those are pretty sweet!!

Ckanite

To me it looks like a great idea, but it also looks like it could use a lot more work. Making the mandable more form fitting, have some sort of jugglar protection as was mentioned above and so on, just small things that I noticed really. Honestly I believe that they should move more into the scfi re...

Ckanite

Very very nice!

Ckanite

I want to make it as durable as possible. My idea is to make it so that I could go paintballing in it. Climb trees dive through doorways even some light grappling. Plastic and fiberglass wouldn't stand up to that kind of punishment. Most of the harder wearing areas are going to been steel, nothing h...

Ckanite

I'm currently working on a steel and aluminimum clone commando suit. I'd get a lot of cardboad first. It will be your best friend!

Ckanite

I think if you have the first and last finger gound on the weapon, the middle two should do fine with just upper protection, but then again you could always go forward with with a bifurcated design as mentioned above

Ckanite

Wade, I have always been a fan of those! They give great protection while maintaining what seems to be reasonable motion as I see how it would work. Sean, in those pics, what was that tab behind the thumb used for? Support for the cross guard?

Ckanite

I agree with Michael...

Ckanite

Wade, I love the shop! Nice heavy bench too!!

Ckanite

increadible!

Ckanite

Very nice! I'm very impressed!

Ckanite

VERY cool!

Ckanite

Very cool!!! Can we see some pics of how that articulation works?

Ckanite

Stop feeding him all that high power food Wade! Or try that goldfish trick... make his room smaller and maybe ho won't grow as fast.... I miss the awesome stuff you come up with

Ckanite

WOW! That's awesome!! Really nice work!

Ckanite

Yeah, something kinda like that

Ckanite

It's group MMA with weapons.

Ckanite

lol something like that! She wants me to teach her urban martial arts. She's going to have the stick, I will not.

Ckanite

I'm planning on making a suit of armour that can be *mostly* hidden under modern clothes. I'm going to be using it to teach a friend some differint things. Anyway, I'm planning on making the limbs splinted, a low profile CoP, Wispy guants. How thick should I make the splints, and what weight of leat...

Ckanite

Ya know Rod, I wonder how much drugs actually did play a part in in some of the more creative armours... just an idle thought...

Ckanite

I'd put my foot forward in your name.

Ckanite

Wow, I really like the sights on that sallet!

Ckanite

Not bad at all!!!! He should be proud

Ckanite

Well now that theory definatly explains some of the more, um, interesting pieces I've seen in my travels.

Ckanite

WOW! That is both stunning and inspiring!

Ckanite

WOW!!! That thing is sick! Does the neck articulate or is it solid?

Ckanite

I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed. ~~A Christmas Story Well if you think you can trust someone over here in the States again, I'd agree w...

Ckanite

You take money for tickets. Lets say $5.00 per ticket. You have the cause you want to support listed. Then at the end of a time, like a lottery, you draw a winner. The winner takes half of the pot and you keep the other half for what you want to support. Lets say you want to support your shop. Phras...
