Toby Capwells book the real fighting stuff also has a pics of how he gets in to his kit.

Wulfgar

From memory there are several examples of Pembridge style helms that have a small roll on the inside of the helmet.

Wulfgar

I think possibly windrose sells this or perhaps it was icefalcon. One of the well known armouries posted and said they were stocking it I just can't remember who it was.

Thats right, however often it is single kill double elim.

Wulfgar

you might want to add some measurements so people know how large/small a leg they fit

Wulfgar

It would be kind of cool if Vitus won, then he could preside over the ID move to full principality.

Wulfgar

Looking good. I'm down in Tas.

I think I'm going to have to start exploring other medieval groups on the mainland.

Sexy stuff, which state is your group based in?

Love the crest, is it leather?

Wulfgar

IF you go inexpensive I think Hjalmr sells them for $120. White mountain and rose start at $400.

Wulfgar

Look after yourself, your a talented armourer and we'd hate to lose you to an injury.

Wulfgar

Those Gaunts are great. I paid $350 for mine from the moore brother and that did have the glove sewn in. I thought I got a deal at that price.

I would sway $350-500 is reasonable for a really clean pair with the glove in them.

Wulfgar

Your probably 10 times more likely to get your finger mashed than you are getting hit in the wrist. Wisby's do give excellent movement and protection

Wulfgar

Kenji your kit is hot. From what I have read Nissan got his gauntlets from Gruber, I guess it would just be a matter of saving up.

Hope to fight you at festival next year.

Unfortunately not, I'd have to watch from the sidelines. I'd have to make a helm and purchase a sword just to start to train. The classes would be enough to keep me busy

Wulfgar

I haven't seen that pic of us before.

I thought Hugh's helm was made by Rose armoury.

The Beorgwic event looks really cool, I'm dissapointed that I am going to an SCA event in Melbourne now

Wulfgar

Hi Elden,

Does adam have a website?

Wulfgar

You might have more luck posting this on the combat and weapons thread. Also check out the show us your kit and inspire the new guys thread.

Wulfgar

Second dibs on the parker-Kolan OX punch just incase Aaron drops out

Wulfgar

Will do, John is thinking of coming to training on Sunday so I'll run it by him then. I have my full 14thC kit that is pretty much SCA ready to go for the CotT, but I wanted this early looking kit as my main fighting harness. I am also indulging some non-historical things. Rather liberating actuall...

Wulfgar

Hi Rod,

definately get the marshals at the training to give your kit a once over. The only thing I can see is that you could get a low profile up your helmet in to your chin. Thats legal and fine and my early period helm has the same problem, just be aware of it.

Was it empressa or something similar?

Wulfgar

Probably not but it would be exceedingly uncomfortable. There shouldn't really be anyway that you can be touched in the throat with a full unempeded shot and if you can then I'd recommend that you change your gear.

Wulfgar

Looks good Rod. On the next one you might want to bring the cheeck plates in to fit your face a bit more. I also suggest oputting the leather on and rivetting the cage over the leather but this is probably stuff you've already considered.

I look forward to crossing rattan with you in the future.

Wulfgar

I degreesed mine 3 times and still get grime coming off it, although no where near as much anymore.

Wulfgar

Someone just put up a review so I would assume he has gotten recent communication.

Thats some damn sexy stuff, one day I will own a white mountain helm

USPS would be about $40 USD.

Yeah Fedex is hell expensive to Aus. seeing as it would have to be pulled apart to ship I would be better off ordering from plasticlamellar.com

Wulfgar

Thats some mighty clean chisel work there.

Are your shields T6? I like the fact that you've rolled the edge, does it take out a lot of the vibration?

Wulfgar

Whats the shipping to Australia 7008 for the disassembled plates?

Wulfgar

Hello,

would I be correct in assuming that the al lamellar is t6?

Wulfgar

I'd still love to get a helmet like shrugs off you one day.

Wulfgar

A few of the guys in our local groups decided to beuild bottle rocket cannons.

Wulfgar

Looks good and legal. Marshal may not like the gap between the grill and your neck procection as you can get a thrusting tip up there. You may like to weld a D shape angled slightly down on the inside of the grill. Get one of the local marshals to check it with your gorget on and they can tell you. ...

Wulfgar

Looks great Rod, you've done really well for a first helmet. If I can make a recommendation though, I would suggest putting a small peice of flat bar from the cheek plate to the back plate to make it more rigid at the bottom. I'd be a little worried about copping a hard hit on the bottom of the chee...

Wulfgar

Nice helmet Hal, I always like your armour.

Who made the sword?
