The rest of your kit is going to need some major bling to match that! well like al pointed out the blued steel and brass splinted bracers and greaves he made me will set the helm off nicely. of course when my new brigandine arrives the kit will be complete. i just got some pics of the completed bri...

Heath B fraychef

soon now have tired baby

Heath B fraychef

so this is kinda overdue but here it is. not that long ago i decided that oi wanted some nice brass bling to spruce up my helm. spoke with several armorers and all were willing and many had great prices but i finaly settled on knitbee for his generous price and multiple nods from others here on the ...

yes some of us are patiently waiting for that sale.

Heath B fraychef

it might help if we knew detail of what you were looking for .

Heath B fraychef

damn sexy kit.
unfortunately i have proven myself inept at even the simplest armoring jobs.
good luck with the sale.

Heath B fraychef

Ok, cool. I only know a very small amount of Japanese, pretty much exclusively in reference to some of the various parts of armor & diasho. My very good friend has recently gotten a kabuto with the mempo built and attached like a big, thick jaw, with the grill separately attached to the brow of...

what a great world.

Heath B fraychef

steel mastery does about 12 different versions.

Heath B fraychef

i have also wondered obout those same axe heads, i did not buy them simply because nobody had any pics to see.

Heath B fraychef

cool, thats about all i could ask i guess.
thanks.

Heath B fraychef

is that hood still available?
i just noticed this thread and would definately be interested.

Heath B fraychef

hell ill go at least 20.

Heath B fraychef

thats what i was thinking.

Heath B fraychef

what if just the finger tips and knuckles grounded?

Heath B fraychef

is that each or all together?

Heath B fraychef

i would say the double thick would be nice i have the regular and wouldent mind the extra padding.

Heath B fraychef

well im sure i will,
if the pics do any justice.
btw ill do an official review after the helm get back.

Heath B fraychef

Very nice job! I am SO glad he fixed the eye slots. The rectangles really make the look. i agree originaly the eyes WERE supposed to be rectangles. this is what i got instead as well as numerous other problems with the helm. the back plate was SUPPOSED to be barstock to decrease weight and help dis...

Heath B fraychef

it was made to my design specs by steel mastery before they had the big meltdown.

Heath B fraychef

luckily im also upgrading the rest of my kit.
otherwise it would seriously look stolen.

Heath B fraychef

so i have a helm that many people have told me is rather nice. and i do have to agree. recently i wanted to add a little something to make it stand out a little more. so i sent the helm to the archives own knitbee to add a little brasswork. he just sent pics of the helm nearly finished. i think i ch...

Heath B fraychef

yeah i just sold my current body armor and replaced with a new set of brigandine and figured that with no thigh protection per se the padded shorts would be a nice touch, then got the shirt and new knees and elbows just because its hard to beat that deal.

Heath B fraychef

yep sorry my mind thought shield bosses.

Heath B fraychef

the jelling dragon has some.

Heath B fraychef

ifi could change one thing i would place the straps underneath the last lame.
otherwise not bad.

Heath B fraychef

my wife is interested buy will not have money until next weekend.

Heath B fraychef

talked to my friend now is not the time for him sorry.

Heath B fraychef

hey thats cool ill just return the money to romebuff and appologize.
do we have a deal?

ok maybe not.
oh well.

Heath B fraychef

i passed this on to a friend, ill let you know if he is interested.
