Thanks all.

Thaddeus

I have seen the burgonets made by Illusion and the one on Morgan D'antioche's site, who lamentably seems to not be producinng anyhthing right now. Does onyone else do Burgonets? My 14th century kit is nearing completion, and like crac... er armour addicts everywhere I am thinking about new kits to m...

Thought I'd pony up

Vikings are really cool they flip out and kill people all the time....

*dropping silly stick and running away*

Thaddeus

No Dieter the armor you sell is not acceptable - however we do not feel that it is in the best interest of the pursuit of the joy of combat to exclude players based on their harness. We will expect people with armour that fails to meet a basic attempt to look medieval to cover it. And we encourage a...

Thaddeus

Adam,
Your as yet unfinished web site puts me to shame, I will have to do some serious work this weekend.
Might I borrow ideas from you?

Thaddeus

Vitus and Duncan thank you for your insight. John thank you for wrenching the thread back on track. My hope is that this Pas will encourage combatants in my area to impove their field appearance and to approach fighting as something more than a modern sporting event, which is the attitude I have enc...

Thaddeus

Once again Larpers with better armour than many scadians. Looks like a blast, although one might question your collective sanity for walking 5 miles in full leg harness... http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif Still, might have to try something like that. Hmmm fiore and Orcses? On a different no...

Thaddeus

LOL Dagisd, I have been bugging Adam about a corinthian for a couple of years now. The reply I have had from him translates roughly as not ready yet. Apparently he feels his skill level is not yet (as of the last conversation I had with him about it) sufficient to do justice to the helmet. I think t...

Thaddeus

I made my liner using Steve's article on his site. I used an open cell medium density foam, sold as a chair pad foam, quilted into a cotton liner. It is far and away the most comfortable helmet liner I have ever worn sca or military. It has very limited field time at the moment so I cant speek to th...

Thaddeus

I know folks have asked similar questions in months past, and I lacking foresight failed to head the various recomendations made therein. So now I find myself putting forth my situation to my Bretheren (and Sisteren) on this board. I have been asked to run a Pas at the Stonemarche Investiture this s...

Thaddeus

Also interested in the Stainless by Krag, if Gypsy hasnt already picked them up.

Email sent

Thaddeus

Yes, per Morgan's post.

Thaddeus

Do the kettle hat, far to few of them out there. Perfectly reasonable for a seargent at arms or even a knightly persona to wear.

Thaddeus

I saw this leg harness in person this weekend. While we still didnt get to talk specifically I must say that the legs are a very nice compilation of pieces. The craftsmanship from both armourers is top notch. Everybit as spiffy as you could want. On close inspection the sabatons really do want turn ...

Thaddeus

Janos's helmet is pretty big. It sat like a trash can on my head. I used to ooh and aah every time I went over to Adams and saw it in progress. I will guess it would fit a 25" head no problem, but Adam would have to dredge up the original notes or Janos chime in. Suffice it to say its big and heavy....

Thaddeus

Tim occasionally has really nice d buckles which are suitable, I am waiting for th next production run myself.
Tim...
Are you out there lurking?
Tim...

mmmmmm boooogahh! Timmah!!!!

Thaddeus

I started out in Caid in the Barony of Calafia, lo these many years passed. I recall armour at the time being of a relatively high caliber. It's historical basis was perhaps questionable but it certainly looked like armour and anything resembling sports gear was frowned upon. I just searched trough ...

Thaddeus

Well I am in the process of building and aquiring a 14th cent rig in 1050. But while my tinkering skills come up to speed I need something presentable, which this certainly is. Perhaps by the time my spiffy uber light sport/historical srmor is done Janos will be in the market to buy his kit back. Ev...

Thaddeus

email sent, now where did I put my box of archivers voodoo dolls...

Thaddeus

Bob any idea when the actual release date is likely to be? Amazon still shows the Facsimile and translation as not yet in print. Alos you had made brief mention, during your seminar in Mass last summer perhaps, of there being a boxed set? Enquiring minds want to know when they can hand over their sc...

Thaddeus

Andreas are you out there taking notes on this? It'd probably rile the northern region a bit here, but we'll get over it, and it's really for the best.

Thaddeus

Now for the East........

Evil_Merlin actually Chef de Chambre lives near you and there is a small but growing 15th century LH presence in New England. Look up Chefs email in his profile and drop him a line he is always interested in having more people involved.

Thaddeus

If it IS an 800yo treasure why is the seller handling it with bare hands?

Thaddeus

Thanks Bill, I will certainly accept. Erik Thanks for the images. I did actually have a large copy of the Marshal Huglin von Schoneck but the volume cites no time frame and was not directly related to armour hence had completely slipped my mind til you sent that. There then followed a marathon book ...

Thaddeus

Thad would be great John. Perhaps I can trade one of my early period ospreys - as a hostage against the safe return of your book.

Thaddeus

Erik, Thank you for your response. I am thinking 1370's being influenced in a large part by the Pistoia alter piece (c.1376). However I am working on a german persona as my impression was that the globose visor and the center mount visor were both germanic styles. I would like to do either a cop or ...

Thaddeus

I have a very nice bascinet with a globose visor mounted on it. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thaddeus/Klap1.jpg http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thaddeus/Klap2.gif I want to build a harness that is appropriate for the helm, i.e. correct time frame and nationality. However I have not be...

Thaddeus

Dangit Cad, I just decided I needed one of those - got home and Dmitry had beat me to the punch. Now I am going to have to either make my own or wait. I hate waiting.

Thaddeus

In a state of flux.

Thaddeus

Munz are you thinking of the Pistoia alter piece? 1376. Nice pictures in AAoMK. At work and dont have access to the library but will dig it up when I get home if no one beats me to the punch. It does indeed seem to illustrate men at arms wearing breastplates with faulds iirc. Also breast and back co...

Thaddeus

Vitus, are you gonna share or are you just going to stay in your corner and giggle.

Thaddeus

He doesnt actually neeeeed them, he's just tired of getting pummeled while wearing ill fitting loaner gear.

Thaddeus

I woulda been a losing bidder!!!!!

But I'm not built dwarf-like like y'all. Cant wait to see these. E-Merlin will you be at practice on Sunday? If you have them bring them.

Thaddeus

Please email me at my profile email. Need to discuss finalizing the order. I have sent you several emails and am running out of time.

Thaddeus

Who makes Burgonets?

Pas D'Armes in the Barony of Stonemarche

When was the globose visored bascinet fashionable?
