First. AWESOME. I have only seen (and collected) a few small web images of this design of bed. It has always intrigued me both from the engineering aspect but also for an SCA camping aspect. Congrats on pulling this off. I know it is not an easy build. So, here are the important questions.... ----Wh...

Here is a page with a bunch of Ill. with kettle hats:

Some even have what appear to be ridges on the bowl.

JP as in Sir Jean Paul de Sens?

InsaneIrish

Did you make the top as well as the cheek and back plates?

InsaneIrish

if you look at the top of the helm it could just be the light but it looks like there is a line dead center (where the weld would be) and that is definately an emorkian helm(could be a collector item with his current trouble) Looks like a spun dome from his website: http://emorokian-arms.com/images...

InsaneIrish

Why would you make a mild steel "prototype"? Stainless doesn't work the same way that mild does, and I would presume that he has made helm's before. Reads to me like he got caught out doing it in mild and came up with an "explanation". Just my opinion. Or maybe he has never made a T faced Barbute b...

What are the measurements on the padded cuisses?

I doubt they will fit, but you never know.

Ask Gerhard here on the Achive. He asked Man on Anvil over FB why his helmets appeared to be axatly the same pictures on other amorers website. Man on Anvil Never answered him, deleted the posts, and blocked him from his page. I hope this turns out alright for you, but the whole situation just seem...

Is that etching or engraving on the brass panels. Nice work.

which organization is this for?

Why would you have a reservation about the thumb?

Nowhere in his ad does he say these are made for the SCA.

InsaneIrish

I remember seeing it on the AA too.
I can't remember who painted it though.

InsaneIrish

I thought Red with a white cross were the Knight's of Malta?

InsaneIrish

that thing is cool. If I needed one I'd buy this.

InsaneIrish

Alright guys relax, Im did not mean to 'brag' about selling something for double what I purchased it for. I just meant to say that what I pay for something on eBay should not indicate what its actually worth. As Vladimir said I sold that Icefalcon helm for around half of what it would cost from his...

YEP! Those are pirated images. The device in the lower right hand corner covers up Armstreet's watermark.

And the images with the blue background can be seen on Mad Matt's site.

Like Icefalcon says, powder coat comes in almost every color, shade, and gloss level you could desire. For SCA combat armor, you can get a type called TGIC, which has some abrasive resistor added to the powder coat. I've also been able to successfully pound out dents without cracking the powder coa...

Can you do clear coat as well?

Holy 1 year later time machine Delorean Batman!

That helm has a pretty nice shape to it.

I thought all Vikings were Horny?

InsaneIrish

I would be interested depending on the price.

InsaneIrish

Anybody know of a source for XXL padded gloves like the ones Ice and Windrose sell?

All the sizes Ice and Windrose sells are just a bit to small for my liking.

InsaneIrish

Is the heater curved and does it have holes in it?

InsaneIrish

Maybe, but if they are AshB they are nicest things they have ever turned out of that shop.

I looked inside and out, no armorers marks anywhere.

InsaneIrish

Good! Big honking thick leather straps across my grip drives me batty! Me too, I use a "Y" strap across the palm and a pocket for the fingers and thumb. Do you have any pictures of this style? I'm unhappy with the way the gaunts I bought are strapped. No pictures, but I have a diagram. It is basica...

More pics: With and Without a padded glove. Oddly enough with the padded glove they are as big as I thought. That being said I still think they are a bit flat and shallow. And "just wear a padded glove" doesn't work for me. I have fat hands and the largest padded glove that vendors like Windrose and...
