I'm in the same boat..Pennsic is gonna suck my wallet dry. After war if it's around I may go second in line.

Angusm0628

You may have to drill a couple holes in the helm top. Insert the plume bend it back and then tie it to the inside of the helm. This wouldn't interfere with the padding and by replacing it is a matter of removing the padding and cutting the binding.

Angusm0628

Just so folks know... I purchased damn near the entire stock of what was on the last post. Came earlier than expected (Saturday instead of Tuesday) and it was exactly what I ordered.

Angusm0628

hmmmm, Jackie may be gettin an email after war... muahahahahaha

Angusm0628

Okay, I have an onion top bascinet with a houndskull and a bargrill. I'm thinking of having a globose faceplate made as well for this. The question though is will it actually be correct? I always liked the looks of the globose and I have the helm already, but I don't wanna commission this and have i...

Angusm0628

He called me, says the helm is too small as it won't fit over his sport glasses.. BUT he says he's going to contact you sometime this week to work out a commission for this style.

Best I could do in pimpin this out.

[quote="Clinker"]MY advice?
Dump the sword, waaaay too overdone. Weapons in general are overdone. /quote]

That's why I have a rampant hedgehog for my device. That and it was a joke about my first set of scale armor that got taken wayyyy too far.

Angusm0628

The teeth tend to become kinda brittle once they leave the body. drilling them could be a problem unless ya get a good high speed drill and make sure your bits are sharp.

Angusm0628

Well I cheated, I used leather and built a cherburg.

Angusm0628

damn at half size too small the 9.5's will never fit me.

Angusm0628

In no particular order of preference.. These are folks who's work I've either seen, handled, purchased or otherwise have experience with House of the Wolf Magnus (Darkhorse) Midrealm Leather (Draven) Torvaldr Kilkenny (Noble Lion Leather)--no website just a shout out here from the archive normally w...

Seriuosly can I get in on the card game?

Well if you really want a card game... Come look up our camp I'm sure I can scrounge up a few guys willing to part your money from ya... We're just across the ravine from Nissan.

Angusm0628

Got a possible buyer for this he asked that I post a message that he will be on later today to look it over and let you know.

Angusm0628

I have a coat of plates in my camp that if Frieman did not get it for his buddy will be there. It will fit someone about 6' and 180-200 poundish.
Plus I can bring my spare mitten gaunts as well.

Angusm0628

Windrose or Icefalcon are the first two that come to mind.

Angusm0628

Yeah, I was gonna say if you want to be an Irishman in 1290, Look at the english about 1240 and you're pretty much gonna be on par for what you want. Ireland tended to be behind the times as it were.
Then again this is a very simplistic answer, however close to truth it may be.

Angusm0628

I'll be having that coat of plates at war starting Landgrab and in camp all week with instructions that if you appear you can get it at any time. I'll also have the possible helms as well.
(In case you get back to a computer while I've already come and gone landgrab weekend)

Angusm0628

I suspect you have your winning bid already Murdock. Once Fulke said $500 I heard crickets.

Angusm0628

You could try Rough from the hammer.

Angusm0628

hehehe I plan to wear the dagger sheath for CoTT I'm sure there will be pics. alot of the household is planning to come see this.

Angusm0628

Hjamr has a spangen with a face being advertised now for about 125 should fill your bill on guy number one.

Edited cause I thought was a norman til I looked at his thread

Angusm0628

Looked over the battlefield schedule. I don't see it anywhere unless it's under a different name.

Angusm0628

I did that to a helm of mine. Had to reapply it every so often as it formed a paint like layer instead of actually impregnating the metal what have you.

Angusm0628

From the reviews I've seen on the archive Von Sussen is so-so. Communication not the greatest. Stuff gets to you over variable amounts of time. Etc.
Granted this is archive hearsay I've had no personal dealings with them but as a group, the archive gives mixed reviews on him.

Angusm0628

Pennsic has its' own rules of the list. So I don't know. Aethelmarc hasn't a experimental program yet. It may be presented to Him at Pennsic. It would be premature to speculate how his Majesty will view them. Every Kingdom has its own standards for this experiment. So, who knows.... Actually I emai...

Angusm0628

Is there an update on the English Roster?

Angusm0628

I have a couple of helms of differing sizes he can try including an armet plus a few other goodies. I'll bring them along if he can use any of them he's welcome to use them for the war. I have a body rig he can squirm into as well. It is a Coat of plates that should fit him well. The body rig I'm su...

Angusm0628

no no no.. A complete DVA harness and CA bow...

Angusm0628

What's he need and how big is he?? I got several options I can go with here but I need to know if what I got will fit.

Angusm0628

Before I recommend anyone to you. What are you going to use the chain for? I ask because if you plan to do SCA fighting with it you are going to be battling the chain maille moths forever.

Angusm0628

Bit of advice on the camelback though. Don't fill it all the way. 2/3 is usually a good amount for a battle and any wrap shot won't burst the bladder. The water needs room to displace itself from the force.

Angusm0628

Sorry for the delay in replying. Still interested. give me a shipping cost to 17844 if you would. I somehow missed your reply in the 100 plus emails I got over this weekend. my bad..

Angusm0628

My answer.. Take your water to the Kingdom Pavilion on the field keep it there. I've noticed alot of kingdom Pavilions have water, munchies etc for their troops laid out ala hospitality table style. The only battle this is not feasible for it the Woods. As for myself, when I fight the woods I carry ...

Angusm0628

There's a couple kits out there Zweihammer comes instantly to mind for right around that. As for pre-assembled, YOu can try Bokalo armoury. Has some good full gaunts from aluminium.. I have a pair of these and love em.

I know it can be done but would it be correct?
