The P226 is one of my favorite guns...GLWS.

Don't get hit.

I'm behind Smashedfrog!

Fulled wool in that thickness isn't overbearing to wear by itself? I have no idea, so I ask. I have never enjoyed wearing wool garments against my skin.

Paladin74

Get well, get well soon, we want you to get well...

Paladin74

It also does not appear, at least in any of these images, that any sort of padded garment was worn underneath the maille. I am not looking to get into the historicity of the gambeson, I'm more interested in how they did it because those iron hauberks had to be heavy.

I second accdntprone - in fact, I'm looking to get in his queue.

Paladin74

i wonder sometimes...if the tale of a knight were told w/out the usual fanfare and imagery associated with romance, would the requisite bloodshed turn people off of the fantasy of it all? Very few play up that aspect, or when they do, it is couched in language to deaden the impact, as it were. Knigh...

Paladin74

You look so enthused, man. lol

Paladin74

All of that in one collection. Its an amazing collection.

Paladin74

Ha! I'd gotten a coat of plates from them before - so that's you? Cool!

Paladin74

If you don't think its worth it to spend your money on helping him, don't spend it. Its that simple. No need to rag on someone reaching out for help to avoid paralysis. That would be it. You don't want to support the man, or the request, don't. You want to step up and oppose his efforts (or more ac...

There sure are a lot of kickstarter and gofundme requests going around, but when your only recourse is to learn to deal with whatever malady currently afflicting you- would you rather people just dealt with it quietly? Or is asking for help such a horrible practice? As was said, if you don't want to...

Paladin74

Well, as much as I ogle Ugo's work, I'm not signing up with FB to view it. I'll just wait. *sigh*

Paladin74

Nicely done, James B!

Paladin74

Do cardio (in armor or out) where you live- you're already at a fairly high elevation.

Paladin74

What do you charge per shield? Or is it per hour?

Paladin74

Ok, mr. "Paladin74" don`t want to pay, so this helmet still in stock, starting with $100. Looks like I use "THAT" word in wrong topic. ;-) Mr. Paladin74 does not do money orders overseas; perhaps if you'd had that in your original listing you would not have seen me place a bid. As I'd stated in my ...

Paladin74

Agreed. +Tasha!

Paladin74

I love this guy's work...I'll get something from him one day soon; at least, that is the hope.

Paladin74

I'll do $150.

Paladin74

Very cool; I'm already prepared should the Big Z happen.

We all know each other. I was pointing him in the direction of an interested friend.

Therion's mundane name is Hal, and he's kind of a big fella, hence the question. lol

Anyone named after Yugoslavia's worst export can't be good.

Paladin74

How much are you looking to get for that helm?

Paladin74

Something about the Earl of Sandwich being such a sucker for cards that he couldn't be bothered to sit down to a proper meal, hence the 'sandwich' was born. Is that just urban legend?

Paladin74

The guy carrying the three spears, shield and helm- is he altogether naked except for that? Yep, according to the Osprey book, he's a Gesetae (sp), a type of Celtic warrior who fought naked. Some books claim the Gesetae were wandering warriors, travelling throughout Gaul, looking for fights. Kind o...

Paladin74

Get well soon, man.

Paladin74

Must release my dibs; PM sent. Sorry man.

Paladin74

Nice pick up, Ian- love the 'no bingo wings', looks good on you.

Paladin74

Is it black or blue?

Paladin74

Mike, glad to hear you got your hand fixed; kind of hard to do what you do w/out it, eh?

Very attractive and inspirational kit. I'm loving it.

Folks, prices have been slashed on all remaining items! I'd love to move this stuff ASAP! Paladin, Concerning the tunic - when my arms were down at my sides the sleeves came just to my wrist, as a nice dress jacket would. If I lifted them up, they'd draw back some. Period artwork suggests that ther...
