white mountain armoury

Im curious as to shipping weight, other issues that may have been covered, but maybe not were seconds, i believe it was up to Apoch to sort the seconds from the first, make the company aware as to the amount of seconds so that they could be replaced. So i guess my question is who are the plates bein...

Your right Owen it can defeat the purpose, but its not a general rule for for me that i give up the limb, its just something that i may do on occasion.

white mountain armoury

i dont tend to give up a limb when i take an opponents, but if i enter a list where wounds are retained ill give up what ever is needed so the fight starts with a level playing field. A while back i stepped into the pit against a kneeling one armed opponent, i dropped to my knees and gave up my shie...

white mountain armoury

thanks, some of those were great.

white mountain armoury

Thanks, all sounds good, i sure its alot of helmets but i sure have alot of helmet pics anyway, id even like to see pics of decent sca and living history recreations. My goal is to make a few fairly accurate representations primarily for sca, but accurate enough to be built non sca and usefull as re...

i was able to enjoy several cool old threads, but some just lead to porn

white mountain armoury

Cool work Krag cant wait till its done, im interested in seeing your hat to Thomas, im in the process of patterning what will be a pattern welded spangen with bronze fixtures, it will first be made in mild, then pw, so far im pretty much done with the patterning, and i have carved the waxes for the ...

white mountain armoury

bruises only, and an odd tender spot tht ive had for over 2 years from a series of hard blows to the exact same spot on the upper leg/hip area, byproduct of learning small round. I wear a padded gambeson, pointed to it are stainless wingless elbows, small stainless shoulder cops, 12 oz leather vams,...

white mountain armoury

I just lay a couple of long 4x4s on the ground, a little less further apart than the width of the wood to be curved, glue up my wood lay it across the 4x4, then stack on some weight, i use some cinder blocks and a couple of old car batteries, you get the idea im sure. What i like is that when im don...

If you choose your selections carefully you will find that many items compliment each other well and you will be able to portray diff pperiods by mixing and matching diff armour.
A maille shirt goes along way.

very nice !

Thanks for the kind words, as for favorites, of course Roberto and Jeff H, but for armour that is closest to my heart its Ivor Lawton from Dawn of Times Crafts, his work is outstanding in shape and detail and he focuses on my areas of intrest. Im constantly impressed with work posted here by all, so...

white mountain armoury

feel free to post it, id like it to find a good home, by the way, nice site. And im hoping it looks super cool when worn, ive yet to wear it with the rest of my gear. The helm and my cuirass are the only visable armour i wear so im hoping they look good together, i want people to be able to tell my ...

white mountain armoury

It might tear up rattan, wont tear up mine though http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif Ill actually keep an eye on it, i dont think it will be any harder on rattan than cop fans, hautte gaurds, crest boxes etc. Ive made these helms without the ridge but they dont convey the style as well The d...

white mountain armoury

Sick of cav helmets yet http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif 14/16/18 ga stainless, deerhide binding. the deerhide is definatly the way to go, it corners and contours quite well. This hat fits sweet, i was able to shape it, assemble it with screws and test the fit, remove it and shape it more ...

white mountain armoury

It is fully welded and has all brass rivits and a small brass nasal. 13 14 and 16 ga cons...

white mountain armoury

my fav cent would be 6th, but thats an intrest in armour culture region etc, if i were to pick a cent specificly for armour it would likely be the 15th, specificly 15th cent italian.

white mountain armoury

im not sure on a cost Ares,ultimatly it should have a deep kettle, not a Mac bible style, and thats the only type ive built befor

white mountain armoury

Thanks for the compliments all, the chin thingie was an experiment for a customer with a very long neck, he saw something similar on a fighters helm and isked if id do something similar on his helm, this helm i built at the same time as his giving them both similar treatment. As for no more double w...

white mountain armoury

pretty straight forward, a ridge style spang for sca, and a bascinet with double wide sights, the last visor i will make with double wide sights [img]http://www.thegreenman.net/wma/ridge6.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.thegreenman.net/wma/ridge7.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.thegreenman.net/wma/basc5a.jpg[/i...

white mountain armoury

Great us usaul Ron, very sweet, you did a nice jop with the shape. Hey Matt, dont expect instant gratification with rivited helms, they are so slow compared with making something like a bascinet. Some of my spangens have close to 20 seperate components, each piece polished and edges files etc, very ...

white mountain armoury

i have an otters den set with the lobed pommel, the mounting for this set is excellent, very rugged, this is a very heavy set though. ive yet to hit any one with it so well see if i can still deliver a powerfull blow with it.

white mountain armoury

i think a kettle with a bevor is a great idea, its one of my fav looks, sallets with bevors are common enough, and look cool, but you rarly see the other
A deep kettle with a tall bevor would likely only require a single bar, possibly 2.

white mountain armoury

Chef definatly is a wealth of info

white mountain armoury

cant think of much to add to Krags description, mine is similar, the layout is diff, but over all very similar. Mine has wooden clutch plates that suprisingly run nicer when they are greasy and filthy, i dish from 18 down to 12 with mine, both mild and stainless for some tasks i dont use it, but its...
