since you have tomar, save yourself much undeserved pain and go to master talbots page and order the breastplate, guantlets, spaulders, helmet, gorget, arms and legs.. all are 14th cent. you can get all you patterns up front, resize to fit and work from there using tomar as a guide. PLUS YOU"LL HAVE...

Wolf

Wolf

ya but is the the authors renderings or an actual woodcut? i mean is it a 1st hand source, or something someone made as a second hand source within the last 100 years?

Wolf

you really should think about painting or staining that porch. and those 2x4 railing, geez has to go and...... oh yeah nice lammalar

wheres the period buckles? hehehehe jk matt, great work

Wolf

this is the way robert macpherson changed jeffj's christian fletcher spaulders. he added the sliding rivits to the back of the spaulders. jeff said he did it cause when spaulders move, they gap in the lames, with sliding rivits the gap is only minimal in the front and not in the back.

Wolf

to make the ridge, you could daw your ridge line on the inside of the dome and then hammer on the inside while the outside lays on your anvil or a stake.

Wolf

Wolf

ya know, one could always buy this and then see how it fits to the body, then use their patterns to make steel patterns (with a little tweeking of course)

Wolf

I disagree Wolf, i think a barbute is a fine choice for this harness As for the harness its self, polish would be nice, the red fiebings dye is glaringly modern, pretty small gripe though i dunno. since he's got the german arms, he's going for the export look. i dont know of any exports with barbut...

Wolf

Joaquin, i wouldnt go with a barbuta. there isnt really any good paintings(out side of italy i think) showing one with a suit. your suit warrents an armet. i'd go for borrowing a sallet. heck, for a cheap italian export sallet, get the museum reps one like i have, and then sell it off later when you...
