Nissan Maxima

You are right. I did some work to make the wallace details, which are for a different form, fit the helm I like. Now all I have to do is get the helm made.

Peder,
I have not, but I am very interested. Attached is a treatment using the wallace helmet as a guide.
I am not sure what I think of it.

I saved that picture.

The attached are a subtle (for me) and maybe a little less subtle paint design for a landsnecht helm.

Remember these will also have about a cubic yard of black and red feathers on the back.

The original helmet from the GNM in Nurnburg is included as an attachment.

There is some cat in Ansteora with one leg. Underestimate him and he will hand you your head.

I f you can make it on the field I will happily hit you with a stick.

And Xenon often wiorks in a team with some guy running his chair. The Xenon other guy and chair unit will knock you on your ass.

Victory is without meaning to me in this game. Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna go out and look like this is my first time, but I really truly don't care if I get beat. In this game I often pick fights I know I cant win. Thats sort of the point. And I drag all my friends into these fights sometimes...

I attempt to be deadly with all weapons that accesorize nicely with my outfit.

This is me close to the beginning. I'd have stuck around even if people were assholes to me. Well, some were, Like Gredwynne. (He was such a dick). For a bunch of geeks you guys are pretty harsh to your own kind while in larval form. chuckle.. You were an ascerbic fellow then as now, quite capable ...

Japanese. I'd buy some laquered looking ones. Tachi mounting style is appropriate for armoured combat. Early periods are covered in tiger skin.

Nissan Maxima

Good call on the timeline, man. Ahh... I was a god when I was young. (In my own mind) Heres more. The guy with his back to you Is now master Aeleric Basiliscus.

As to minimal armour, that just the way it was. And no, that suit is dust before you were born.

I can fight for pay (or for free) against the local geographic sovereign and not be killed for it.

I can entice, recruit or otherwise rewards others to do the same and still not be killed for it.

Wonderful stuff. The shoulder piece in particular looks exceptional.

I remember the midrealm army marching across us in the field battle in pennsic 7. I think it was fought where the bog is now. We (the East) were utterly outclassed.

Back then we just formed lines across the field. The East used to stand and the middle used to charge. Very fancy stuff.

I am making this almain. Do these nice clang gauntlets go with it?
I have to have hand protection for combat. But if the gaunts won't do I could make stealth gaunts that look like leather gloves.

I'd be interested. Especially if the draw weight were SCA combat legal.

Nissan Maxima

I dont think we need padding on the tips of single hand weapons at all. I am allowed to smash you in the face with a 6 pound great axe pretty much as hard as I can, but I will hurt you with a poke in the face? I do not believe that you can generate excessive force with a single handed legaly constru...

If I don't shank someone in the face with a knife at least once a day I feel sad.

I think I 'm gonna be Daimler von Benz. My wife wants to be called Schnitzel.

I am led to believe that your gauntleted hand is included in that equation. While in my hand there is not a protrusion that will allow penetration of more than .5 inch.

couple more. I am gonna send em to Vitus in a couple of days for him to make some pimp scabbards for em.

I made some weapons for a Landsknecht officer impression I am working on. I posted progress pics previously which were eaten by the gods. Although I rarely name weapons as they don't last long I did name these and painted the names in the fullers of the weapons. The Katzbalger is named "whore&q...

early 80's. I am on the left. Note the fine knee, elbow and neck protection. Not to mention the cuisses.

There is a great 10 minute fencing style duel in an otherwise terrible movie called scaramouche.

Would a Landsknecht officer be literate? And on a seperate note, were mottos etc ever engraved on weapons? I want to write in 16th century Burgundian the name of my Katzbalger in the fuller. Her name is," A woman who does for money what another may do for love." If no one knows 16th centur...
