wow i love that helmet

Wolf

Wolf

wow nicely done!!! any thoughts to having lames on the bottom? then the fringe?
i like these a lot

Wolf

ewh... i bet that thing is just dripping with history....

Wolf

in days of old
when knights were bold
and condom were not yet invented

a knight wrapped a sock
around his c#$%
and f#$%ed his wench contented

they can be seen better in book 2 of roman military clothing rather than 3 i think my main concerns were the thoung of the shoe, the heel cup area, the welt or rand area on the sole and the stitching. do you have a cleare picture of the natural colored ones? as too boots i would jsut call them late ...

Wolf

just wondering if theres a list of who was in the 30 and what armour they were wearing. to see jsut how "period"

they are or are close to being. plus its always nice to see all the suits laid out as individuals rather than all smushed up in the battle

Wolf

how are these roman boots?

Wolf

historic enterprises, medieval deisgn, and matauls are prob the best places to look for ready made 15thc clothing. prob with english is the lack of artwork. some say you need balled shoulders, other say what lil art there is dont support it. but heres a rundown linen under shirt, linen tighty whitey...

Wolf

what wood is best? looking to mkae a viking style round plank shield. i really dont want people to hit it, but in that same token i'd want it to hold up in combat etc just incase hehehe.

Wolf

if its for steel on steel get a paul binns (uk). you cant beat them or break them. well u can but it takes a lot of abuse and wear and tear.

Wolf

damnit 125!!! did u steel this from gordon?

Wolf

eggg-cellent

Wolf

do a check at www.myArmoury.com they have a great listing of reviews. i think they just added 1 or 2 axes too

Wolf

i made a pair almost like these. but i use the tongue opening instead of a side split. but!!! i also had to add a large v down the side of my seam cause i needed the top of the shoe to be bigger than the bottom to get my foot into. very nice. when i get a camera i'll take a pic of mine. i believe it...

Wolf

if its like their other helmets, 1 quick smack with anything and you'll have a huge dent.

being that i know what you like Patrick, i'd say save the cash for a nicer helmet. this one is kinda close to periodish but the workmanship and shape are too far away for my tastes.

Wolf

james is working on a jack page now. i wish he would finish it i'm chuck russell by the way. my jack is 24 layers of 7.1 oz linen. Jan Van Eyck. Cucifixion c. 1440. Rogier van der Weyden. Cucifixion c. 1460. Jean Fouquet. Unknown Illumination c. 1460. BibliothÃ¨que Nationale, Paris King RenÃ©'s Tour...

Wolf

fabricstore.com i think has linen for less than 5 bucks a yard. and there are no know gambisons in 1470s. there called arming doublets then. they are form fitting to the body like the rest of the fashion at the time and the armour is mostly pointed to it.

Wolf

i'm looking for a complete reference to the Thorsbjerg finds. weapons, clothing, shield etc. i am wanting to make a historical kit completely off the finds with no reenactor ifs ands or maybes. can anyone help me out here? all i get from google is partial stuff here and there. and i'm going form boo...

please note that the poster is THE WOLF and not wolf. please address it as so. dont want any confusion

Wolf

not sure they would pass in sca for finger gaunts. maybe gaunts used with a basket if it had a cuff. pretty cool though. i like them a lot more for vikingsNA then those huge things we wear

Wolf

why not just got to tractor supply and buy solid brass rings in the hardware or horse section. they have multiple ring dia.

Wolf

sweeeeeeeeet

"you can dance if you want to, you can leave your sheilds behind...." see its all in the music it was a high paced game of kill the other guys on teh shields. saex only. last guy on the farthest shiled wins. some shields rocked and moved cause of the handles. hit points anywhere but the head. really...

Wolf

does anyone have any references for the Thorsbjerg clothing. such as
the scale/measurements etc. i'm looking to make replicas of the tunic
and the pants to fit me, but i dont want to make the tunic too long or
wide etc and the pants too baggy etc
