Wow...that's a beauty. Outside of my period of interest, but a real beauty. Nicely done.

Paladin74

There are other, better alternatives. These gents are guiding you to it.

Paladin74

Oooohhh...shiny! Looks good man.

I have a question...I've been searching the site but w/out any real identifiers, I'm making zero headway. Last week or the week before I came across a thread that had a pic of a Hospitaller Knight (think he was a Hospitaller, definitely Crusade era) - all in black with a really great helm, a great k...

I'm a student of the sword; I have not yet graduated to 'swordsman' but it is a goal of mine. I will say this...if you put a sword into the hands of a SCA fighter, I am pretty sure he could kill pretty much anyone else that didn't have a sword also- kill enough and he'd earn a reputation as a swords...

The Death Dealer is an icon from my youth...my Mom had these two thick, glossy artbooks filled with Frazetta's work...Hustler what? LOL

Anyway, PB, that is one bad ass rig you're working on...always wanted it for myself. Especially the helm...man that's cherry.

Paladin74

It looks like it is a bonafide auction...how would you serve as the intermediary? By that, I mean- would we have to bid through you?

Paladin74

Lloyd, you lead the charge, I'll follow. But then......who's going in with me to take over this French village?

Hate to think I'd get to run it all by my lonesome.

Paladin74

Why not give it to her and let her experience the joys of shooting? Otherwise, the XD is a nice pistol, especially for the buck.

DAMN man, that is a sweet helm! GLWS...

Paladin74

Allan, these look great! GLWS man...

Paladin74

Nice...this is kind of what I'll want eventually. Could you do one based off a facial mold?

Paladin74

What period are you looking to portray?

Paladin74

I have a knock-off version of this helm (at least, I think it is)...definitely a good looking helm; take lots of pics!

Paladin74

Mine're brass, but they're not up for loan. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Paladin74

Or try these folks out: http://www.leathermystics.com/gauntlets ... l#deerskin

I had a pair of their leather gaunts, and they were well made. I'm going for a pair of deerskin in the near future.

BKS is a small shop...I think it is a matter of them having taken too much on and then life happened. We all know how that goes. With that said, maybe a call and a visit to the shop might speed things along. The Stagmers aren't bad people, I think they just fell on some hard times. It happens. Over ...

Paladin74

I see you've got an arrow rest already on there...so this is a righty setup only. Do I want to shoot righty? Do I? That is the question. Let me think on it.

Paladin74

I'd be interested in a mild set...provided it wasn't too large as I have smallish hands.

Paladin74

I'd keep the head on too...see if you couldn't incorporate it into/with your helm so it'd be like a massive hooded cloak.

Paladin74

Wow...hmm. That is just plain awesome, man. Unfortunately, I don't do FB so I can't see your other wares (unless someone posts them on here) but if this is any indication, it would be well worth the viewing.

Paladin74

You make some pure awesome-sauce type hats, man.

Paladin74

You could try talking to the folks at either Schmitthenner Armory or The Inner Bailey; both have done work for major productions if I'm not mistaken.

Paladin74

Some form of gaming would probably be somewhere in your travelling chest, such as merels or dice chess maybe?

Paladin74

Wow, I'm impressed...you're coming along nicely man.

Let's try this again.

Paladin74

Andy, I forgot- you make some really good looking armor, man.

Paladin74

Well...this just might be the straw needed to get me to create a FB account.

Paladin74

That is a nice sword...love the color schema too. GLWS.

Paladin74

He stood on a hill overlooking the battlefield, the remains of a very large bear the only armor he wore...he raised his two handed axe, bellowed out a challenge and leapt off the hill, his Reivers nigh on top of him as they strove to keep stride... I saw all that in my head when I read 'bear skin ru...

Since you're going for landed gentry, you've got some money which means you'll be better equipped than the common man. horses (destrier, courser, palfrey) squires (also on horses) saddlebags filled with armor, arming clothes and food pavilion/tent kostrel/water holder (leather, hardened leather) coi...
