Additionally armed, we can engage in much more interesting discussions and debates of the subject - preferably at a 15th century event, when you are able to attend one with your Codnor comerades. you got it bud. sorry, i didnt notice the "italian" bit in your post. my mistake. cant wait till we get...

The best sallets I've seen some out of India are the ones that by the sword is currently offering. the first bunch m So, Caithlinn has kindly emailed me the pictures from By the Sword. Any recommendations for the portrayal suggested, or are the visors all too much? I'd be looking at "weathering" it...

Wolf

[quote="chef de chambre As an aside to Wolf - This is the second time you have posted concerning articulated tails on sallets, saying it is 'too late' for the portrayal - Frankly, while German sallets do gain artiiculated tails late in the century, I do not know that we can definitively state 'there...

Wolf

Code HM 1039-D german sallet 2 is the closest thing they have. but its still way off for 1475. look for one without the lobster tail

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

when/where is this event? hagerstown isnt too far away

Wolf

...and then curl up in the fire after drinking them heheheheh ahhh the memories

Wolf

too long. if u have it that long you won't be able to point your legs to it. crotch level should be fine. mine is hip level. made mine from 4 layers of linen with tow in the center.

Wolf

arent 15thc legs supposed to have a 2 piece cuisse?

hehehe

Wolf

why would u use broadway as a selling tool? i would think that would hurt sales

hehehe

Wolf

thanks, prob is that its an sca piece based of historical. so there no real research. take a look at most late 14th cent fingered gauntlets and you will see pretty much the same thing as the half gaut (but with no fingers ehhehe) but problem there is that it has a long cuff like 15th cent and a hand...

Wolf

can u show us a picture or link of rainalds pattern ect?

Wolf

no back sliding charlotte! now that we got you 15th, we'll kill you if u think of going back in time!

Wolf

FLAME WAR ON FOR THE 14thc traitors!! hehe jk, best of luck guys. my wife would kill me if i did another time period. just glad i found my niche in the 11th and 15th. Paul keeps trying to drag me into 14th... NO! hehehe keep your standards up, dont give in or let something bad in just for 1 person c...

Wolf

daves, that picture wouldnt have a sliding rivit. that inner plackart or belly piece would have internal leathers allowing it to move.

do some checking on LOTR's armour for the URIK-HI. some of the breastplates from them look something similiar to what you want

ummm then you've never seen jeffj travel have you

Wolf

is there any secret to it? do i need to add on the sides, top and bottom for dishing?

how about the sides, do i make the lines vertical or make them have a bow outwards to allow for dishing?

i've never made a pattern before and thought i'd try it out

Wolf

Pastonpaluza 2 was actually called Michaelmass

PP3 is in the works for early nov.

Wolf

oh sure Cet, build someone else's 15th cent LH standard stuff before mine! and dont tell me about it hehehehhe

dude, we would love to see the pics of your LH stuff

Wolf

sounds right. sunforger is pretty good stuff to make tents out of. depending on what type machine you have it should sew it. there are lots of sca websites with great info on how to make a tent and lil details that one wouldnt think of

Wolf

hmmm dont like any of it for period wise. albion is a tad ruff looking as well

now the mrl new plate gauntlets are kinda nice. need to replace the brass rivits though. and of course there on back order.

Wolf

Dougal, drop me an email at crussell@pennswoods.net for info on 15th cent LH groups. I'm in Lord Grey's Retinue. we've got members in NJ,MD,VA,PA and WV

Wolf

Wolf
