I need to consult with my financial advisor. The only kick is I won't be able to get it til next week when the next pay comes in..

Angusm0628

Magnus,
Why not make yourself a set of hardened leather full gauntlets then? You obviously have the skills for working leather. And I suspect you have more than enough lying about your place for the task. Use your skills man.. Use your skills.

Here's the pics of it. I got it from Soliel for my stepson but his head is way too small for it. 16 gauge stainless.. Like to get what I paid for it $200 plus shipping

I dont' think that was cast, He had a mold made of his face and then an armourer pounded that out for him.

This is his website. You can also PM him here on the archive. Under the name Talbot

Angusm0628

Try Talbot..

If it's who I think Briog is referring to. He probably meant Casting. But I would strongly state this is not a wise option unless it's to be used as a costume piece only.
If he really wants a Menpo, he's gonna need to send the helmet to someone who will pound it out for him.

Gotta say it...

Dark Apprentice, Dark Apprentice, Dark Apprentice...

Angusm0628

Magnus does a sweet musculatta, Draven not sure of everything she can do but what I've seen looks good. Torvaldr has a great leather lammelar kit and finished product Kilkenny h...

I have a stainless armet I'll trade even up

Angusm0628

My helm was browned by the previous owner years ago. I just keep it lightly sprayed with WD40. No further rusting has occured.
I had done this to my old helmet as well. That was 14 years ago and the new owner hasn't had rusting issues either.

Angusm0628

I just tried em... website is down apparently

Angusm0628

Ummm, so what are the dimensions on this?

Angusm0628

[quote="Paul the Small Not a bad idea. I've already called dibs on the "IRS echonomic stimulus check" thingy for armor. I figured what better way to stimulate the echonomy than with new armor. I figure for $1200 I can get a nice helm and maybe have enough left for some chainmaile. pau...

If he has access to a computer he can also contact Fitz here on the archive. He lives fairly close to philly and access to a shop and materials as well.

Angusm0628

That was the other problem... Shipping issues. He had a bunch of stuff that should have been returned for documentation or some such. Instead the customs office there held on to a metric shitload of stuff and took their time in informing them of the hold up.. I knew there was something else going on...

Angusm0628

I'll shott him another email today and kick him in the ass to get the measurements..

Alex just posted here last week on another thread regarding this problem. He's clearing up his work load ASAP. They had a problem with a large order (prepaid) in the manufacturing since is was a new design or something. I'd not worry too badly . Then again I haven't placed my order with them as of y...

Check with Durasteel, I seem to recall some mannequins for sale by him.

Angusm0628

Sounds like you got the first half of my first armor experience. The second half was those same folks saying "If you do X it will make it fit better. If you do Y then you won't have this problem.. etc etc etc". Taking your efforts and impaling you on them without any advice on how to corre...

Angusm0628

If you're not totally a worshipper of aluminium. I would recommend Stonekeep's "Pricebeater cops" as well.

Angusm0628

You get a few examples of your lighter weight stuff, and you got at least one sale out of me maybe more depending on the fabric styles.
The heavy weight ones are too warm for my blood.
