I would never have recognized Will McLean out of his serjeant's getup (which is wonderful); I read his blog from time to time and had the pleasure of meeting him at MTT as part of the other guy's retinue- not Lord Grey...was it Peel?

Paladin74

Hey, that one looks like it could be made for me- you do painting as well? Also want one of a dragon, much like the lion rampant (black dragon, blue background or vice versa).

Paladin74

Yea, I know the story behind it; was just stating that for the ones who go "ZOMG I SEE ANACHROJIZMZ HERE" as if they expected a documentary. I'm a Crichton fan, having read a few of his books that turned into movies; I liked Rising Sun and Jurassic Park, as well as Timeline. For Timeline, there were...

:lol: :lol: :lol: C'mon, don't bust on my movie! I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux. Its a good movie, with some really iconic moments (and character...

The Horselord rig...I love this one man. Oh if I had the cash I'd so buy it right now. GLWS man, its a real beaut.

Paladin74

if it is just for show, and not a lot of work is involved I could see $20 + shipping, or $30-35 shipped. Also depends on size; you have a size in mind?

Paladin74

I think that would depend on you- cost of materials, time used to create the piece.

Paladin74

Was that a one-off, as in your own design? Or something he'd already made?

Paladin74

Its a beautiful shield, but if I pay that much for a shield that is basically art, I'd want my heraldry reflected.

Paladin74

No idea, but I'd want one. My heraldry is simple.

Paladin74

Man, those are gorgeous! I want something similar as an upgrade for our 10th anniversary...if you don't mind, who made those?

Paladin74

Why do people continue to do business with Alchem? Are they that cheap that they're worth all this hassle?

Paladin74

Hey Boris- so long as you're in the CONUS, $60 is the price including shipping. As for whether or not they are period for 15th C Italy, I couldn't say- but I could imagine it, which of course isn't helpful. Besides, with the heel and the zipper near the ankle to accomodate the foot passing into the ...

Well, there was William Langspee - he got that name because he fought with a sword that was longer than that of his contemporaries; it was the first one to come to mind because he is a contemporary of The Marshal.

Paladin74

I got a pair in size 10, same manufacturer I'm pretty sure if anyone's interested. I'll let'm go for $60 shipped as they're used and a little dusty. No issues or problems, I ended up w/a second pair because I thought these had gotten lost during the move.

Paladin74

That looks real good, Hal. I know when I finally put hand to hammer, it won't look anything like that beyond a vague outline.

Paladin74

I'm happy it isn't for a lefty- so I don't have to drool and cry and beg the wife for more funds. lol

Paladin74

Hotdamn that's pretty...

Paladin74

Hope you feel better soon, man. Best to get all that looked at now- it'd be real messed up to have something crop up later on down the line w/out a warning.

Paladin74

Hi, who made this helm?

Paladin74

As I've gotten arms from both, I can +1 Mad Matt and Merc Tailor; if coin is an issue, you'll find none more friendly to your pouch than Merc Tailor.

Paladin74

Wade, are you saying that the flattened mail currently available doesn't behave like historical mail? Should it be round ring?

Paladin74

Now that was a swordfight! You're an inspiration, Nissan...no joke.

Aaron, 50-80? How would that even be fair for the 80 year olds? lol

Paladin74

Is it me or is one of them less full at the calf area than the other?

Paladin74

Ha ha, I know that's right!

Whoa, you made them already???

Paladin74

Looks more like the 6mm variant; allbeststuff has some that looks just like that. They sell just the hauberk for $400.

I was wondering when the bug would bite... lol

Paladin74

Al does solid work and he's a good guy, it makes a difference. In my numerous dealings with him, I have never had an issue with anything- communication, presentation, workmanship, he aces them all. That'll be a nice complement to your harness once it is complete.

Paladin74

How long are the sleeves?

Paladin74

Hey Scott, I actually posted a link to the plans for a good armor stand on MC.

You know, as often as I've thought it, I never actually typed it. lol

Yea I wanna hear this. That damn Curt knows what he's doin...lol

Paladin74

Thanks for the pics, I release dibs. GLWS!

I have been the recipient of an illegal, over 90 degree blow from a pole arm, from behind, during a castle battle, by an Iron Lance fighter. They knew it and after I shook it off, I knew it. BT has it on tape and we all laugh because it does look like a wack-a-mole situation. It was an illegal move...
