That is our new Baron Xavier, the helm was a gift from Adam (I think) and the tunic (not sure of what it's name really is) is from Adam's Wife.

I'm in a couple of the shots, helmet off, drinking water on the stairs near the MOL.

Yes, Adam fought very well all weekend.

Even though the first day of fighting, the benches seemed not to like him all that much. =)

Barry,

I have almost an identical breastplate, made by Sasuke at Oaks Armoury. What he did is fold the cloth before attaching to the faulds, this leaves a slight "buldge" in the cloth which allows the fauld to be fully articulated with no issues.

Finger bucklers are small shields that are fitted over the fingers on a pair of standard finger gauntlets to make them heavy list legal.

Click here to see how it is done with my gauntlets from Oak's Armoury (Sasuke).

What you going to do with a helm like that? I thought you were shooting for a late 14th century kit.

Or are you also going to have a 12th century kit too?
