Huh, Looks like DV has started being a distributor. Looks like that padded hood/coif is probably a Get Dressed For Battle item. He is also selling, I believe, Egg Armoury plastic elbows/knees as well.

InsaneIrish

can you take a different pic of the helm from a different angle? That pic makes the helm look REALLY short on the bottom.

This is me: http://aiden-groundpounder.smugmug.com/photos/i-XrbbTnX/0/M/i-XrbbTnX-M.jpg I've been fighting in mine for about 5 years. I have no problems with the brim being a shot magnet. If the Burg is made right, the brim really isn't all that big and you can train to adjust your duck/dodge to com...

How do you plan on receiving this gun? Shipping guns via interstate require that it be shipped to a Licensed FFL and the recipient pick said gun up in person, fill out the paperwork, and pass a background check.

InsaneIrish

Is this a 9mm Caliber?

InsaneIrish

You are looking at about $350 for the rifle About $200 for the gunsmith and site swop Something like $30-$40 per extra mag, probably more if you want a "HiCap" mag Maybe $50 for the FFL transfer fees + shipping to where ever it is going The Legal Kicker is that you are over there and we are here.

Is it the revolver or the auto?

We love the auto.
My wife and I take turns carying it. Very compact.

NOT snappy like many other .380s I've fired.

I'd recommend it.

The .380 is the auto.
The .38 spl is the Revovler.

InsaneIrish

Honestly for the money blockade runner is the best bang for the buck....I have that exact tent and it has served me excellently for years.

InsaneIrish

Actually I took the pic. My buddy Robert Brockman is the varangian guard. The scutum is Calontiri scuum done with a roman flare. The red symbol in the corner is the personal device the sir duncan bruce of logan. The guy standing behind the scutum.

InsaneIrish

FYI, the S&W Bodyguard is a nice little pocket pistol. It also has an included laser.

InsaneIrish

What brand/type of clear coat are you using? I've been using plain old rattle can emamal gloss clearcoat. It works pretty good, but I am starting to wonder how flexible it is when it dries.

This.

Or a roman Locking Gauntlet,

Or some other piece of Ugonian (Ugine, Ugoesque?) genius

Might talk to Stefan as well. He does some nice bar work on his basket hilts.

ALL firearms, when shipped, must go through an FFL to be legal.

Any interest in that?

Is that a S&W .357mag?
How much?

InsaneIrish

I think you should go this route. There is a Sallet with an articulated tail that I think fills your needs:

Well, mostly we all have our clothing made. There is so much variety and size differences that most "vendors" don't actually carry "landsknecht" clothing.

InsaneIrish

So, if I understand you, during a press, you pressed your shield face onto his sword basket, trapping it against his own body/shield. Then when he backed up to get distance and free his weapon, you followed him and did not allow him to get his sword free? Honestly that sounds like solid, sound, and ...

Well, I couldn't find a 2013 thread on showing off kits. Soooo, I made one! I am submitting my buddy's kit. he's really worked at it and it is coming out really well. He is a Varangian Guard, based his kit from an Osprey Book Ill. (yeah I know, not the most concrete of sources, but still nice) http:...

I LOVE burgundian Kettles. Such a great helm. Nice job.

What he said.

Plus, you will have to either cut a tang out of the handle or use scales. Scales are not period for Seaxes.

InsaneIrish

How period is that head design. I've never seen one like that.

InsaneIrish

You might go over to the Armour forum and talk to Prince. He does awesome work.

InsaneIrish

To complete this kit, my daughter now wants greaves so the demi-greaves won't bite into her shins. I am considering making german gothic gauntlets using Scott Martin's pattern, but what helm would fit both the historical perspective and mid-level armor skills I possess? Nice first kit! I agree that...
