Give in to the temptation.

You will not only get a great suit of armour for a great deal, but you will be helping me keep that beautiful horse in the pics. Vet bills are freaking huge!!!

Bumpity bump bump. I also have a way way cool visored kettle helm that really makes this kit. It is not SCA, but very very sweet. Got it from Therion when he still offered them. Will not sell it seperatly- included with the armour- $1000 for all. I will even pay shipping to lower 48 states. Going on...

WaaaghBoss

U have mail.

WaaaghBoss

Sure is. Just posted it this morning.

Let me know- figure I'll give it till next week before it goes off to E-bay.

Cheers!

WaaaghBoss

I will take and post some pics- http://home.armourarchive.org/members/kaylyons/pics/armor/norman_front.jpg http://home.armourarchive.org/members/kaylyons/pics/armor/normanside.jpg http://home.armourarchive.org/members/kaylyons/pics/armor/normanliner.jpg Nice lines, leather liner and chin strap.

Sized for me: 6'2" 42" chest 36" waist. Will fit similar... Cost from Illusion right now is $1353 + shipping. Will be for sale here for $800 or best offer for a few days then off to ebay. This is a mild steel suit. I also have a pair of stainless mitten gaunts that will make this a complete SCA kit ...

Gruber,
How the hell are you man!

Drop me an email, statzk@yahoo.com - how often are you working in the shop? Some day I would like to get that breast & back done (not your fault, I've sort of fallen off the face of the earth lately).

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

I am interested in this complete suit. What size is it and can you email me pics?

Thanks in advance!
~Kevin

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a number of armour/armour related items for sale. See my thread in the classifieds section. Any or all of them could be available for your purchase at the Midwest Armour Guild meeting- who knows, I may even find more stuff to add tonight! I have been doing my spr...

WaaaghBoss

Anyone coming to the meeting interested in the following this I have: An Indian made dress rapier. Very pretty, but not a functional stage combat weapon. $100 A comb morion (non-SCA) with tinned inside and polished outside- 16 or 18 ga. $50 Right handed mitten gaunt- Size M-L only one, nice articula...

WaaaghBoss

Brian, does this mean you will be going to the leather factory tomorrow? If so, what time, as I still have yet to make that trip.
Lemme know-
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Yeah, what Chris (Sasuke) said! He showed me how to make the gadlings (knuckle pyramids) and even for a complete neophyte like myself it worked great! Dish a small but deep section about the size you want the point, then define your facets by raising them on a sharp stake or in our case an anvil cor...

WaaaghBoss

Gundo is sort of making stuff... I am supposed to be "next" in his queue, and have been waiting for a year. And this is a queue slot I purchased from someone who had been waiting for quite some time before that. Not that I am complaining- I knew when I went into it that the wait would be long. Gundo...

WaaaghBoss

Not to mention the $6000 '03 is only an 883. The '69 has a bunch more personality and is a 1000. A 1200 Sportster is about $8400- I know, I just went shopping. Ended up not getting a bike, but that is another story.

Anyone know of a good source for cotton rope? Or by chance does anyone have about 200' or more of the stuff floating about? It is for a 15th C. riding caparison of braided rope. Should be pretty cool, but I gotta find a good source of rope without it costing $150!
Thanks!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Well, I have two, but not the same model. Just a TrackMan Marble- only three buttons. And a TrackMan Marble +, same as above but with a scroll wheel on the middle button... We used to have a bunch of these floating about, and can probably dig up a different one... ~Kevin [This message has been edite...

WaaaghBoss

I too think we have one here somewhere in the "PC graveyard", I'll give it a look later on tonight. If I got one, got anything armour related to trade?

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Clang- I really like that Armet. How long of a wait do you have for stuff?

WaaaghBoss

While not "exactly" the hand, the Elizabethan fencing manual I read when in college had a ton of plates illustrating thrusts to both the wrist and front foot of the opponent. I don't have a copy anymore, and don't remember the name of the book... So this is probably useles, just like me! <lol> I wou...

WaaaghBoss

At only $35.00, I would bid on that kiln, except I'm quite a distance from ID!!!

WaaaghBoss

Bumpity bump bump....

Anybody have this pattern?

Please, oh pretty please?

Thanks!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Nope, not for SCA-
20 ga 1050 WILL be sweet, if I can get a pattern. Mind you, it will be modified so I and only I can use the helm...
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Well, If I understand the question right, the reason is very practical. Seam on the sides of a great helm= 5 piece construction. Less time shaping the metal, less time in forming a large sheet of steel/iron. Seam in the back= 3 piece construction. More time shaping the steel, more time in creating l...

WaaaghBoss

Looking for a pattern for the Black Prince helm. Anyone have a good one? Gundo had one, but I was a dork and didn't bring home a copy.
Thanks in advance!
~Kevin

PS>> Email in profile.

WaaaghBoss

I agree with both the previous posters. I also have bought a ton of stuff on E-Bay for 40K and WFB, and I like to buy the badly painted stuff, cause it usually goes for much less than the stripped mini's. But I am usually willing to pay more for stripped, bare metal/plastic mini's. If I were selling...

WaaaghBoss

I certainly doubt Darivs would care about you posting a pic of his handiwork!

Just figured I would throw that out, so you knew who made the armour you posted.
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Cad,

I also would like a copy of this pattern.
Shot you an email. Thanks!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Well don't forget to count me in!
As for the MN-armour-in-and-try-not-to-get-blown-up-drunken-binge" Count me in too.
I'm good for October- Sept. I can't do. October I have a horse show the 18th, other than that I'm pretty open.

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Lord Vanguard,
That is Darivs' armour, in fact, that is a pic of the corner of his living room. And yeah, the gaunts and legs I believe are from an earlier suit.
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Pics not working.
Can you email them to me? Email in profile- I am interested in the two sallets mostly, but would like pics of all. Thanks!
~Kevin

PS>> Still have the greaves for sale?

WaaaghBoss

Oh, I am so happy- I work at the U of C and am on my way to go check out this book.
Oh joy, oh rapture! Thanks for the heads up!

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

My personal favorite is armour is so heavy you need to be helped up onto your horse with a crane!

WaaaghBoss

Thanks Bex, but it probably would be expensive as well as I need to get this done ASAP (show every weekend until December).

I would like to be able to etch them myself, but a quick web-search didn't help on acid etching aluminum, so I figured I would ask here.

~Kevin
