Daffyd the global effects kit can most certainly be used to make an accurate looking harness. You have three options with it in my opinion. I own one currently, although I have not put it together as my current corrizone kit made originally by Master Cad is still holding up well. You can: A. strap i...

Silk velvet is most appropriate, with a linen or hemp canvas backing. I used a split hide from Brettuns on mine, pretty much a suede. It has been moderately durable, although it has worn through at the corners of the fauld. The back and breast are still in good shape. And no I have no idea why I loo...

Schwing!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha! Rock on Otto! Pump guns are awesome - makes you work for it. And keeps you from pouring $200 worth of paint downrange.

I have a Bud Or Ranger that hasnt been used in about 5 years, probably needs all its O rings replaced. I think I have two barrels one 7inch and one 12 inch for it somewhere, a 60 round hopper, 12oz constant air tank, squegee, safety plug and a silencer (don't know if those are legal there was some d...

Adam got some nice toggle closure boots from Bohemond. Crepe soles etc... Modern construction, but far better than combat boots. They look pretty good. I wear boots made by alastair which are getting pretty beat. I am thinking about getting a pair of the same design from chivalry bookshelf, with the...

Thaddeus

Thats just too cool!

I own this <a href=http://gkarmory.com/images/helms/blackclapvisor.gif>bascinet</a> and this pic doesnt do it justice. It is a fantastic piece of work. I have also seen the german half harness up close - inspected it even. Which is also fantastic work. Awesome stuff.[/url]

Thaddeus

I am in agreement with these other guys. I have taken a coule of classes with you Bob and would very much like to see your work as it stands published in some format. If further research yields new understanding I will happily pay to be further enlightened.

Thaddeus

Some where I remember seeing ridiculous looking platform shoes worn in the 16th century by venetians during flood tides, some of them looked kind of like high heels.

Thaddeus

I can vouch for the condition of Adam's pavilion. It is in fantastic shape. I would buy it if I had the extra cash available, alas with a house under construction and a couple of other projects on my plate I dont have the funds. Get this while the getting is good.

Brian

Any chance you have design artwork or prototype pics available on the ovals?

Thaddeus

I used a forsener bit on the puck I drilled. My drill press had a vise mounted on it.

Thaddeus

It was pretty cool to see Varus' face when their majesties Thorson and Svava came to take him off the field. Stunned is the best description I can think of.

Thaddeus

Me, my lady wife Erika and daughter Nora.

Man I'm not the only kid on the block anymore!?

We are going to be the best looking barony on the field pretty quickly here.
Guess we had best ramp up the training program.

Thaddeus

Armoured!?

Details man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I can squeeze any time out of my schedule between now and summer I intend to make a pot helm based off one zweihammer made a while back and wear it with a longer hauberk and quilted chausses.

Thaddeus

Cool beans! Mine came in today, cant wait to put it on a haft and pummel somebody with it. Course someone stole my gauntlets at Pennsic and I havent gotten around to replacing them yet. So the locals can rest easy that the pummeling will be limited until I fix that minor detail.

Thaddeus

Rags from Chivalry bookshelf :
The canvas bag is just 26" x 22" x 20", with a nifty zipper closure for convenience. And the tent actually does fold down back into its case for storage.

Thaddeus

Brian, is the 14'6" diameter measured at the base or the eaves/top of the wall. And how much head room is there inside with the spokes. I am mightily tempted I must say, Stephen and Astrida were going to make one this winter and have invited others to share materials and plans, but I dont have the t...

Thaddeus

Congratualtions to both. I wish ihade known this was happening, I would have dragged myself away from the house building project to see it.

It is good to see the north getting some much needed attention, may Thorsen and Svava reign again if it please them to do so.

Thaddeus

Brian do you have more pictures?
Particularly inside and details of reinforcements.

Thaddeus

Brian, if the round point doesnt work, what about tooling a coronel head for spears and pole arms? Not as effective a tool for wma but might appeal to the sca combatant looking to neaten up their harness.

Thaddeus

Sure and it will win you points from the peanut gallery.

Thaddeus

Here are the pics.

Eric is generally merchanting at Stonemarches 'A Market Day at Birka' later this month. If he hasnt replied to you let me know and I will look him up. I am hoping he will be there so I can pick up a couple of stakes from him.

Thaddeus

Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thaddeus

Bob, can you elaborate on your experience with the chausses? I am in the midst of planning my new 13th century harness and mail footy chausses are one of the things I am thinking about the reality of. I have also been considering the padded chausses depicted being worn over mail in the Osprey 'Kight...

Mutt it's just age catching up with you.

Thaddeus

Pretty sweet armour. Brand?

Thaddeus

Kenrick, I'll second Asbjorn's "virtue"

I have some shoulder cops but they never seem to stay in place. Since picking up the heater I have yet to be tagged really hard on the point of the shoulder.

Thaddeus

Must have pictures.
