Josh W, now that's a cool pic. Do the breath holes really give you enough to see by? Or is there a slit I'm missing?

Paladin74

I can't see that link here at work so I'll check it at home. Just to note- these shouldn't fit baggy, they're supposed to be relatively close to your body with the padding underneath the maille. Does make it awkward to put on and take off though, I do get that.

Paladin74

I am sorry to hear it man...best of luck in your future endeavors.

Paladin74

Never heard of him- looks like he makes some nice stuff though. I do love a well made chest.

Paladin74 · Re: My work, barbute done (04-06-15) Very; I like it a lot. Nice work, Mr. Pig!

Very; I like it a lot. Nice work, Mr. Pig!

Paladin74

Lloyd, I am afraid your straw man questions are irrelevant to my post. I dont think that anyone doing armour based on the 14th century should waste time and energy on something that is purely a fantasy addition to a piece. This is an active, intentional step away from accuracy wich is a bad thing a...

SwordNArmory's been around for quite some time...I want to say 10 years? Mostly Hanwei/GDFB wares w/regard to armor and accoutrements; you can find some decent stuff, especially amongst their katana lineup. I think I may have ordered something from them once; it was a small outfit when I was first i...

Paladin74

Mine's second from the top- looked so good on my wall I never took it down. lol

Solid work, fair price and good communications- I'll order from them again when the mood strikes.

Paladin74

Like the difference between a Lamborghini kit car, and a real Lamborghini. A few years back, I might've bought that hot mess copy, now, I know better.

Paladin74

I guess if you're just wearing braies and hosen the difference is negligible. Thanks for the responses, Wade, KtR.

Paladin74

I had dibs on the Raven barbute that I have had to release, in case anyone else was interested in it. Sorry Ka0z!

Paladin74

in MHO look into http://oakheartarmory.com/blanks.html they will sell blanks at a good price that are not too heavy and they will paint it if you like as they will strap it if you like I have one from them strapped ambidex its awesome I second these guys...if you don't have the skill or patience, t...

Paladin74

I have a question- you guys are talking about taking a cast of your bare legs- but don't you wear some kind of 'under armor' clothing? How does that change the dimensions for you, for the piece?

Paladin74

Sean, that shield link- it looks wonky and it wouldn't come up for me. Might want to check that. Also think you made the right choice (selling the lam and keeping the slit front COP).

Paladin74

What an image- man, I hope you recover swiftly. That sounded a bit gruesome.

Paladin74

No problem man...I know how I'd feel if I'd let that go, stands to reason someone else might feel the same. Truly awesome stuff doesn't just show up or fall off trees, right?

You'll find a use for it, I'm sure!

Paladin74

If you let this go, you'll be sorry you did! That is one bad ass COP...too bad no fit as I'm smaller than either of you (6', 170lbs, 39 chest, 32 waist)if it would have fit me, I would've bought it before you did.

Paladin74

Is the mail riveted? Hard to tell for me.

Paladin74

Man that's gorgeous...I'm kind of glad I don't do an earlier impression (although, I've wanted to for some time).

Mine as well. May his parents make a full recovery.

Paladin74

Which barbute? I see three pics, two of which look the same and one w/a white background. I'm interested in blacknwhite0355.

Paladin74

Hi there; who made it?

Paladin74

Looks like he charges almost as much as you'd expect for steel pieces. How good is this stuff, anyone use it yet?

Paladin74

I'm not sure the article confirms that proofing shots were underpowered. As far as I can tell the article is saying that it isn't possible to tell the difference between a proofing shot and damage taken in battle. The dents could have been caused by a low-powered proofing shot or a spent bullet on ...

Paladin74

I'd never seen most of those- very cool, thanks for sharing!

Paladin74

CRIXUS! CRIXUS! CRIXUS!

Oh, sorry, flashback moment. That is one sweet helm man. GLWS!

Paladin74

How big's the leather hide? What color? Thickness? Will it be big enough to do a coat of plates? And the red brig; what sizes would it suit?

PM sent.

Paladin74

I assume these were made for you so some measurements are in order perhaps? They were not custom made. Matt asked for no measurements. They fit me fine at 6 ' 240 when I mocked them up to start strapping. I can give measurements if you PM me. Ah, no need. We're the same height, but you've got 70 lb...

Paladin74

I'd check with Accidentprone here on the AA; he'd be the least priciest I believe, and he makes a good looking helm.

He's alright, he just gets excited (I think).

Paladin74

Who made the iid? Nice, clean look about it.

Paladin74

LOL

He has his own process Irish...best leave him to it.

Paladin74

Nicely put together, sir. I at first thought it was a Mac harness, Mr McPherson, that is.

Paladin74

i get that life has to continue on but behaving as if nothing's wrong, no one's owed- I don't get that. I'm bothered right along with you, Jestyr.
