The Armour Archive

DAVID01

has been on this archive, unchanged, for a long time. Actually Dan you ARE right about it being unchanged. I looked up the essay in my favorites, where I had saved it a few years ago. I just did not remember the last part. I also read it again and it makes a little more since to me now. BUT no matt...

DAVID01

[I never said I had read ALL the essays on the archive where you getting that? LOL, I didn't read who wrote that essay, he has added to it since I read it or I just didn't see it for some reason. You said "Yes I have seen the Archive Essay" and even quoted Hew's link in your reply. One might conclu...

I really hope you knew that without asking

DAVID01

Okay you've said this twice now, do you have a site or sorce you can send me to, so I can read what "Lu-shan" has to say?? Hew posted a link in post #5 to which you responded that you had read all the essays on the Archive. If that was true you would already have read Dan Slone's (Lu-shan) essay on...

DAVID01

patric,

Thanks, I'd also like to see the tools you were talking about making.

Later,David

DAVID01

Anxious to see this when you "git er done". This is a suit is one on my "wish to god I could afford list",LOL.

DAVID01

No problem Justin, the sig was a joke so don't take offence. I just thought it would be funny to see if you two would try to translate or even notice

Oh by the way, I never said I was only interested in the cuirass

DAVID01

David, he is done. Check the link Justin gave. It provided images of the finished breastplate. Here it is: [img]http://us.a1.yahoofs.com/users/4248bdaaza24ae3f3/f6df/__sr_/dde4.jpg?phQBliDBSrOJ4NHE[/img] Thanks for the link, Justin! -Gregory- I think you should read it again too, it is NOT complete...

DAVID01

Well lets see more Patric, That's coming along very nicely! I really can't wait to see the end results! If I'm assuming correctly (I'm terrible with 15th century stuff) then there will not be a backplate with this, right? Cheers, and keep us updated! -Gregory- He finished it - didn't he? This is a ...

DAVID01

I'd call it a representation of the pattern, this looks to me like a miniature, so 54mm scale?? It isn't a representation of the pattern. The iconographical evidence shows no gaps between the plates. The whole point of scale armour is to overlap the plates. Robinson's suggestion does not do this. L...

DAVID01

What Language is that?

DAVID01

Don't guess I have ever heard of Lu-shan, got anything from him you can post? Tim, good idea. EDITED because I misunderstood. I have read Lu-shan, I just didn't realize who you were talking about as I did not read the name Lu-shan before I started reading the essay, so I did not realize who you were...

DAVID01

It has a "Mike" and an "F" in it.... If you would have done a search for your name, you would have been led to the thread in which you two spoke. Simple. Here's the link: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=47920&highlight= Cheers! -Justin You sound a lot like Gregory J. Liebau, ...

DAVID01

Well lets see more

DAVID01

Hey you just keep right where you are, I think you will do just fine here.

DAVID01

Thanks gunnulf,
Very nice site, by the way what does "Troll with the cases" mean? I babel fished "troll aux trousses" and thats what I came up with.

DAVID01

David, it's not that I am not proud, it's that I dont have it yet. My brother is going to go pic it up at around the 2nd of December. Don't worry, you will be inundated with pics then. Pad No, I didn't mean to sound like you weren't proud of it... Just that you were being stingy ... Just kidding, I...

DAVID01

I'd have been so proud of that helm that you'd all be saying enough pics already. I can't believe we havn't even seen one

DAVID01

William, I like the hell out of your sig line. Wish I'd have thought of it.

DAVID01

Give us your weak, give us your weary, give us your tired...AW hell just as from the Begining "give us your criminals"

DAVID01

Thanks for the info on this seller, I for one don't appreciate bad jokes about anyone but I really don't think this guy meant any malice. He was just trying to be funny. Its not like he was calling them foul names or mocking their hardships. There's joking and then there is just stupidity, I think h...

DAVID01

Hal this looks great, I really like the (crow,hawk,eagle?) foot on the cheek guard. Is this being made for a customer or one you will just be selling?

Oh yeah! Think I could make a business bagging up that brazos sand

DAVID01

It must not be too important to the artist to get it accurate as he has placed a King on a horse and FOUR soldiers on the other. At least I only see two horses.

DAVID01

I still want to try the chinese star or (mountain pattern) I just can't seem to find a pattern for it that I can understand. Presumably you've seen this in the Archives' Essays section - Construction of Chinese Mountain Pattern Armour - By Sun Lu-shan (PDF) Are you talking about the pattern for jus...

DAVID01

LordWulf,Sounds like kindred was a hero in the area. I look forward to seeing the pic of him standing on the head of his criminal catch. Hey guy, I don't know much about what happens to the life force in animals after death but I truly believe the life force of my Red Wolf "Rowdy" was put into the p...

DAVID01

Nice Hal, were do we get that fine brazos river sand

DAVID01

Tim this is prolly the coolest Mongol armour I have seen, when I saw it in the other thread I saved it with all the other armour I'd kill to have. I think it rates right up there with the mountain pattern lamallar (sp?). I know if I were an armourer I'd have both sets. I still want to try the chines...

DAVID01

Yes I was wondering what people thought about the quality of his armour. It looks nice to me but I can't tell much about pics. Also when I saw the pic he took from Kings lance (chain maille) it kind of turned me off. I don't think much of Kings lance.

DAVID01

LordWulf, I hope at least now you will keep your Armour and those who have bid will let you off the auction, if that is what you'd like. I am happy for you that someone was so kind as to give you such a fine gift as a puppy. You said something about Kindred being known from helping in the Hurricane,...

DAVID01

I was checking out his body armour.
