some better pics of the pieces would be easier to pin point.

that being said, you have a 1450s italian armet, 1480s german breasplate, 1430s arms etc.

Wolf

trying for? 15thc. you've got a mix of italian and gothic both early and late spectrums of the period.

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

james, if you cant find any, check Clang's website. he had some instock

Wolf

hey, you leave that broke back norman alone!

Wolf

ya, thats teh same stuff therion used to sell of Cheq Ams & Armor

Wolf

ya, i had heard this too like 15thc armour that is pointed on "floats" (like elbow, pauldrons etc) armour that is strapped or all riveted together doesnt.

Wolf

cat, those are great. i like the smaller rivet heads. just hope they dont pull thru. they truely look great!

are you going to shape the end of the demi greeve any? like make a design like scallops or anything?

Wolf

what about the strap? its period. buckles the breastplate to the plackart. italian style. can also be seen in english effigies. there are also examples of the backplate or plates being straped this way instead of rivets

I missed that one.

You sleep in a woman's nightshirt?

i guess that would depend on the woman and if theres room for 1 more hehehehe

Wolf

wow that is nice

my arms are held together as one piece also. i have no arm restictions at all. and their easier to put on than to tie each piece ever time u put them on

Wolf

ahhhh i think they would fit me!

too bad it looks like the car is gonna cost me 1500, teh van 300 and the carpet 1000. sigh, then i got 550 to pay my mom and then theres the usual bills. sigh

would you be makeing these again? say Christmas time?

Wolf

oh great, another viking forum on the net. jsut what we need.

Wolf

hey better than i could do. good job

question

if you lessened the hight and flaired out the walls and pulled the center line outword a lil more, you may get a "better" shape.

Wolf

i think this one your sister really took is a better picture

Wolf

ah ok kewl didnt know. thanks for point that out. i dont play the game so oh well no hard feelings.

Wolf

u might want to bring the aventail fron up more, it shouldnt sag that much exposing the neck area

Wolf

wow nice. how much does a helm like that cost?

Wolf

ouch i beat that sword in the back (shoulder area) really gets in the way in teh cockpit.

Wolf

cement glue the top of the rattan to the kong. then use either a large washer or a flat piece of metal cut under the cir of the round top part and put a nail or screw thru it into the rattan. then cover with tape
