If you are already there you don't need a group to tell you, you already know your kin. If they are foreign to your world, then they are foreign and nothing more need be said. The SCA is just a backdrop we operate within. We can play stick as well as rebated as needed. It's a mindset as well as a st...

Any idea if this helm is still up for sale? If so have them contact me as the auction is closed but I may be able to hook the fella up. It's a good helm and maille, I'd hate or 'em to be stuck sitting on it when I know I can get it to a good home.

I've been in that spot before. I just pointed out that the SCA for better or worse is one of the largest groups around, I was a businessman with a State of MI license, about $1500 worth of leather and hardware (wholesale price) on the counter before him and a partially filled out credit card slip .....

Gotcha! *wringing hands in anticipation ... and making call to old military buddy who can go by Lucian's house and cut his 'puter lines ...'

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

hmm .. I do both ... and a third. Tourney heater for my 14th C. kit ... center grip oval for my earlier period harness. center grip buckler for my fun and games 14th & 15th C. harness. I have seen some local fellas using a center grip enlongated heater for a norman/templar harness based off some...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Sure am. PM with the details for payment and I can provide shipping info. Thanks!

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

I will take the suit, as soon as soon as I get someplace to send $ to. Hey, Ian, are you the Ian who was Knight Marshall of the SCA group around Fort Whatsit in Upstate NY in the 90's? Yup, that would be me. Ft. Drum, NY (outside Watertown, NY) was there late 90's. Former the Stronghold of Orion's ...

Iffin' ya don't mind travelling the other direction there is the Roaring Wastes/Dark Yard/Detroit practice on the 4th ... I suspect some fighter will be at the N.S. ToC http://www.coillestoirmeil.org/toc.htm , but a good chunk should be back by Sunday. It is often a good practice to hit if you are i...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

This might be totally bold and arrogent of me but do you still have the info on how many/much of those former 'default' sponsors owed you? While life has been good and grand enough for me to be one to seek the title this year, I am also blessed enough that I could step into the shoes of those who fo...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

anyone have pics/website showing what Ken's work is like ... ?

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

got anything that might fit a U.S. military size #5 (large) left over?

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Is the mask still for sale as well as the pair of blades (yes, I know I am asking two different people the same question ... hopefully the answer is yes on both and we'll get 'em both a new home shortly)!

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Is the lamellar still up for grabs?

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Got any pics on the baskethilts ... always looking for some 'beat the snot out of at practice' types ...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Correct ... Brand was Armour Store and had some issues. He seemed to be working towards resolving them ... if they have all been cleared or not I don't know the details on. Armour works was a different crew and had some serious issue still outstanding last I'd heard ...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

We'll just make sure their names and reputations are well known to any who ask. Assist where we can and pursue thru legal means when possible.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

bid placed ...

Guess I'm an odd ball at times when it comes to Pennsic. I'm deep into the 'competition' part of it and yet am sometimes seen as being one of the 'authentic Nazis' gang ... Don't get me wrong, I love the event due to it's size and wandering about seeing the variety of things. To me it's much more of...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

... and some people say there just isn't a market amongst the modern medievalist! There's a batch of us out there who have alot more $ than time for our most beloved hobbies but want good quality at a reasonable price. I see Gwen & Jeff along with a batch of others as riding a crest of change in the...

Put me down for the gray green herringbone wool birka hat and the Landskenecht Coif 2 (Olive green wool over yellow linen). PM me how you'd like payment and I can get you shipping addy. No worries about arrival before x-mas, but will need before Jan 6th (12th Night gifts). Thanks!

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

I may actually be able to go for the first time this year. Nothing certain yet but it looks like my son and I will go. Our local youth boffer fighters are planning to be out in force. Be Afraid. Maelgwyn, see if you can get Bernie to come along. Ain't seen him in ages! Any idea if Earl Reynard and ...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

I've put in the request for the time off .. not sure how many of the other Free Company fellas will be able to make the run. I need to get my fencing auth done beforehand though to have the full gambit of fun down there. Should have a good showing from Legio this year, I hear Duke Brannos and others...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Keep us informed and put me down on the 'interested' list. I've made 'em and made (and sold) jacks as well. Alas, now I have more $ than time so I'd not be making one anytime soon but know well the amount of work & effort that goes into one!

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Late night ... I'm a clueless ghit ... are these still up? Or have they gone? If they haven't put me down for 'em. Already have a set of Visby style but dang I like these for my 'fuller' 14th C. hard kit.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

I'm in a holiday mood ... toss my name down for the wool 54". PM me your paypal addy (also put my name down on the fransiscan posterners) so if you want to combine these it's all good.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Put me down for all 3 fransiscan. PM your paypal addy and I can do immediate payment.

Speaking bluntly ... a broken bone in youth combat that wasn't caused by seriously reckless (i.e. diving off a platform or some such) activety would be sooo rare. I've been playing full contact adult heavy since 1986 and can count the # of broken bones in the various kingdoms that I've lived in (tha...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

yeah ... this desk job has got me slacking. Have started back up ... should have my 58" back up before the summer is done! Oh wait ... nevermind.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

realizes his joke has not put him behind the power curve and can't wait for the spouse to wake up so he can begin negotiations on the new building plans to include the garage/workshop & minor 'support' room.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

hee hee ... I'm sure Murdock meant absolutely no slight in his comments. My good fellow Klaus, your product is in a class unto itself. It's why I leapt so quickly onto the chance to get one. I'm in the middle of the fitting process and have had the chance of seeing the horde of arming clothes Murdoc...

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Ya'll is evil I tell ya ... here goes another variation of my hard kits ... grrrr ....

and damn if it don't look purdy!

Especially the finger loop braiding ... I learned it this year and they make it cheaper than I can spend my time doing it.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

It's way to small for me (54" chest) but I have a potential Men at Arms that I could equip with it. I'll toss out an offer of $120.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Put me down for an initial bid of $75.00 U.S.

Iain (Bunny) Ruadh

Hmm ... sounds like it's time to grab some of our spare armour and our toys. Write down the specs and play with some ballistic jell or hogs. I think one of the things not often tracked is the angle and such. I've had midwestern bully boys skip SCA spear shots (with the ol' sticky head) off my breast...
