today i think i would trade children for gear.

Heath B fraychef

so i had a couple people ask questions about my sons gear so ill answer here to avoid multiple mesages. first the weapons i made myself and they are to the letter legal in caid. the first is modeled after a mongolian dao. he also has one modeled after a fantasy scimitar (just like in bugs bunny) the...

Heath B fraychef

im just gonna bump this before i head home.

Heath B fraychef

do you want me to do a design or do you have some ideas.

Heath B fraychef

that would be great.

Heath B fraychef

so my son is really into fighting boffers at wars, i am trying to make his kit as cool and period as possible while still adhering to the kingdom boffer rules. recently we were at great westernwar and there was a little girl with an awesome great helm made out of leather. does anybody happen to know...

Heath B fraychef

oh dont hide.
you could probably kick my ass blindfolded.
at least i look good though.
maybe newbies will look at me and be hesitant but anyone with skill will still whoop up on me.
and im ok with that.

Heath B fraychef

bump for last day.

Heath B fraychef

they are roughly 9 inches from top to bottom and 6 inches across.
they fit over my arm and in a fairly big guy.
kinda. so they should really fit your arms nicely.

Heath B fraychef

i would go with mercenarys tailor.
turnaround time is usually pretty fast.
great quality.

Heath B fraychef

fair enough here we go

Heath B fraychef

no bites huh?
ill leave this for another day then drop it till some other time.

Heath B fraychef

why thank you kindly sir.
we do try.

Heath B fraychef

the brigandine?
yes steel mastery.
i went with the wool and i love it.
breathes better than leather which i have had in the past.
plus you get color options and no extra charge.

Heath B fraychef

bump.

Heath B fraychef

ok i am now selling my shoulders from mercenarys tailor. i love them but i think they look a bit off for my kit so.. im upgrading once again. im looking to get 50$ plus s/h or as close to it as possible. if you ave ever seen alans handywork you will know these are top quality. ive only actually foug...

Heath B fraychef

sorry its xl from the website but in reality its more like an xxl

Heath B fraychef

im the guy on the right. Fantastic, both of you. I love the helm with the brasswork. By chance do you know who the Russ' on the right is? His kit is awesome as well. yep that smy roomate. its actually mongolian. the body armor was made by armstreet and the helm was made by windrose which he then mo...

Heath B fraychef

freakin awesome.
its so comfortable i dont want to take it off.
here are a couple pics from great western.
i really couldent be happier with it.

Heath B fraychef

not bad, maybe you could polish out that wonky widget thingy in the middle.

Heath B fraychef

anywhere from probably a 32 up to 48-50

Heath B fraychef

i have a plain black surcoat with blue trim from house morningstar i am not using.
wore it to fight in once.
bought a red one.
up for grabs.
best offer.
no pics of the darned thing, but its in pretty much perfect condition.
no rips,tears or blemishes of any kind.

Heath B fraychef

anyone looking for a slightly used (trice) torvaldr kidney belt?
i sold the rest of the kit and changed the direction i wanted to go and have this left over.
i will consider all reasonable offers.

Heath B fraychef

im the guy on the right.

Heath B fraychef

got any close up pics of that kabuto?
looks real nice.

Heath B fraychef

sounds good as long as you can keep the cost at a minimum both for you and the customer.

Heath B fraychef

Now if you can work out a setup that uses Duke Logans new spear shafts (the thinner ones) you could be looking at the ultimate SCA Dory....[/quote]

i was thinking the exact same thing.

Heath B fraychef

i bet he would have a hard time declaring bankruptcy once the courts were shown his intention to use it to intentionally defraud customers.

Heath B fraychef

id actually LIKE to see him take a shot with that set up.
then see if he changees his mind.
or has the ability to do so.

Heath B fraychef

another option would be to get a very basic spun top or low point pascinet for cheap and add leather for a neck drape, visor and decorative embellishments.

Heath B fraychef

yeah really no offense but 85 vdollars really wont buy you anything more than generic sca bargrill helms or maybe a barrell helm from otto's armory. for mongolian gear you will be expecting to pay signifigantly more as there are less people making mongolian gear than "regular medieval" gea...
