Kelwin is going to win it for Richard, and then she's going to give me the title of 'Commodore'. Ok, now I feel really bad.....I didn't even see that Kelwin was in the tourney... You know, I would always give you the benefit to finish out in the top... Unfortunately...Because of my extreme lack of ...

Have no clue what the format is gonna be....But here's the list...Pretty big this time around....Don't know most.......But I'm thinking maybe it's gonna be Baron Sean...and either Count Morgan, HL Jamuka or Sir Bartholomew in the finals...Might have to call on Dark Apprentice for his thoughts.... 1....

As long as the tip doesn't get between the grills , who cares...I mean really...You can swing a sword ALOT harder than you can thrust it....Course, if your worried about it..wear better armour....

I fight in a flat top great helm...Have no problem seeing..Course, probable not as good as a helm with bars...But..Well enough..The air issue is more in your head than anything...As Aaron said the air is hotter...But it was a mental exercise when I first wore it to breath...When I get a slight break...

Hmmmm..I liked them...the firt was very entertaining...Although I would suggest not dropping your weapon...Good way to die... Was there a head butt in that one??? Thought i saw one from the guy with the dark outfit...Right before he threw his gauntletts... Also, what was the music...I liked it, kind...

I am planning on making some splinted leather covered with some nice fabric...Just not sure what kind to use...Doesn't need to be too fancy, but I've seen some I thought were covered and I like the look. My knees I'm covering with leather and doing my heraldry on either side of them(the border will ...

Took a shot directly on one of them from a new guy that thought the fun thing to do would be to see how hard he could the fat guy in the knee. All I said was low.No pain, no dents The cuisse's are from G.F.B. by way of Therion A&A. I hope you had a talking to the newbie about that.....I had a g...

Whoever made the pimping crusader helment and sent it to us. (See pics) I know it was a Halbards kit, but this thing is SCHWEET! Thanks again! That would be Aaron Carter from Artemisia...I remember cause I made the comment on how nice it was...And my kit was still sitting next to my chair.... You g...

If you look at those videos you an see Fiore, Liechtenauer, and possibly some Silver in there. Thought I saw some MS I.33 in there as well...Looks real good from my veiw anyways...Just wish there was more around my area wanting to do it...Seems all the C&T guys are down south around Aarons area...

WoW...Beautiful piece there Andrew....I'm not gonna even hazzard to take a guess..What kind of wood is it???

Eamonn MacCampbell

That is really cool...Snazzy looking...Any links you want to share on how this is done???Not quit undestanding the whole paper mache' thing..How does it stick to the plastic, and how did you waterproof it???

Eamonn MacCampbell

If you don't mind doing some of the work work yourself...Halbreds here on AA has a couple kits left if I am remembering correctly. The price is excellent and the workmanship for the kit is fantastic. IIRC they were about $80 each plus shipping...You just have to do some forming and rivet/weld parts ...

Eamonn MacCampbell

OK..Now for the questions...Were did you get the goose feathers...And did you use silk or linen thread for the wrap? I did some a few years ago with linen, but all I had was some thicker stuff, and I didn't like how it came out...Been useing silk since then, the added bonus is I can have more colors...

I think Jack Chains are a bit too late for the Pistonia's stuff Yes they are, I was refering to this statement..."If so, what would go will with a kettle, that is not a CoP and is not done all to often?" Not many people do what I suggested, at least not many that I have seen...And MJ has ...

Eamonn MacCampbell

Would it look totally out of place to wear a kettle with a pistoia breastplate? If so, what would go will with a kettle, that is not a CoP and is not done all to often? Thanks! Matt How about just a plain gambosean with some jack chains...Don't think too many do something like that...Never seen ref...

Thanks Kenwrec, thats the one...I based mine off the #3, but has a canvas shell...Just something to get me on the feild with my own armour...Although the shell has torn pretty good(1 layer) so this winter I'm planning on re-doing the whole thing with some 5-6oz chrome tan leather...It should hold up...

The truth comes out. This was posted a little while ago on the Off Topic Baord, and the group at that time claimed it was "Only seeking to clear the Templers Name". It is all about the MOney. Too Bad, So Sad, they Lose - You *cannot* be a "heir" of a Catholic Organization, that ...

I can't seem to find my bookmarked site showing all the different ones reconstructed so I'm not sure which is which...BUT...On mine I enlarged the front plates and to make it have better sideways motion, I made two rows of plates instead of one....I have a long torso so with the two rows I am able t...

HEAR HEAR! Oh would that be quick and painful for some. Well, the Outlands would make your deaths as quick and painful as possible, it's true. *snort* And so the smack talk begins. HOOAH!
