Hello,

Spray adhesive works. "Goop" Works also. Templar Bob prefers "Barge" cement. Most of them, once you put them on, is a pain to get them off. I've used "Goop" and spray adhesive with fairly good results. Just make sure you follow the cure time on whatever adheasive you use.

The brass is all etched. The seller is looking for $600-$700 but is willing to negotiate. 28.25" around ...

Some helms naturaly do not "ring". Just depends on the construction and the shape.

Hello,

Have you tried a lamellar or scale skirt in heavy leather? If you make it long enough, will or should provide you enough thigh protection. I did that for a time or two and was no problem.

Saranac Goetz

Sixtus_Goetz

Leeds Royal Armories has a few on display. They tend not to have as much elbow protection as SCA tends to have. More vambrace attached to a smaller elbow to protect, more or less, the elbow point.

Saranac Goetz

Sixtus_Goetz

They may be ugly, but are VERY solid. If not on the heavy side. For $10, you won't hear me complain though.

Sixtus_Goetz

Ashcraf/ Baker... $10 baskethilts and they usually have them in stock.

Fergus,

You changing from the leather scale you were wearing at Neibuligen <sp?>?

Was pretty spiffy lookin.

I'll chime in here from voice of experience. Using foam in the gamebson will increase heat retention ALOT. Been there, done that. I would stick to fabric for the gamebson, natural fabric and filler preferable. <edit> Hidden pockets for elbow pads and such do work, I was only mentioning the entire gu...

Sixtus_Goetz

Sir Markus, I will have to say the pads are resiliant as all hell. Even after that paint can strech, they still formed back in there place. However, I did strip out the guts except for a 3-4 inch strip down the center. Sewed around to keep it in place. Shaved about 3 inches off the bottom and sealed...

Started back in March. Asked if MRKS would be willing to do a leg commission for me. After the inital interview < yes, he interviews his potential customers > he agreed. After every e-mail, I recieved a very prompt replys, if not always answering my questions right off, answers were always answered ...

Sixtus_Goetz

I've done it also < at least leg portions > for Mrks also. Is MUCH easier with 2 people then with one. 1. Thin material to wear < or be prepared to loose lots and i mean LOTS of body hair. 2. Tape around and around and around , not very tight at all, the tape itself will constrict on itself as is. 3...

Hello,

From my understanding and what I've personally seen, usually the articulation is either rivited on leathers or mechanical. Haven't really seen any with BOTH on the same joint. Hope that helps.

Sixtus_Goetz

From my understanding, Carlos of Truehart does do fairly inexpensive amrour. BUT is also about a year out on commissions. Just the rumor mill, write him and find out.

Hello, Made a couple of these so I'll chime in. A leather shell will be a little hotter as it doesn't breath very well. I've used sail canvas < 19oz > and normal cheapo canvas <3-4 oz>. The cheapo canvas I doubled up a few layers to strenthen it. 2. Go for colors that were produced in the period you...

The small holes are for sewing the liner to the helm. Steve of Forth Castle has a very nice article on his site.
