But then I would have to totally redo the attachment mechanism for the bascinet.

MJBlazek

hmm, well I do know of the heraldic shields being attached to the a ventail, I do not know of patches. I will have to do some digging though. There may be others here who know more than I do though

MJBlazek

You don't happen to have any globose or churburge breastplates hanging around do you?

MJBlazek

yeah I didn't think so. I have this great hounskull bascinet... well Jakie at Shamrock has it right now. I will get it back...someday. And I have a great bascinet, sans visor en route from the ukraine. But it is a center hinged visor. I was hoping I could put that visor on my great bascinet, but ala...

MJBlazek

Hmm notreally what I was looking for. I am thinking the answer is going to be a big "NO"

MJBlazek

is there ANY evidence of a Great Bascinet with a center hinged visor?

MJBlazek

I am going to order a pair of the 14th century 2 buckle in natural Size 11, with Vibram soles. tonight.

MJBlazek

Bumping this.
I have a few things that are slowly coming together, I might be able to get some pictures in the next few weeks.

MJBlazek

Frank, do the sizes on the shoes run small, true, or large? I take a size 10 an a half and wonder if I should get a 10 or an 11.

MJBlazek

Heh, I just tried to look at yoru site to see what you have in stock, and for some reason it is STILL being blocked for "incidental nudity."

MJBlazek

Ahh, The end of the War of the Roses. The Battle fo Bosworth and the Death or Richard. Are you a Yorkist or a Lancastrian? (I was always a Yorkist myself) As for information regarding English armor you should definietly check out - www.effigiesandbrasses.com www.manuscriptminiatures.com Search for y...

acrylic (because that's what I had on hand) and then heat sealed it.

MJBlazek

I agree, Sorry I did not explain clearly.
I would posit that they are as Klaus said. The three small lamed attached to the rebrace

MJBlazek

I need inspiration for making a livry collar!

So I woudl love to see what others have come up with.

Also, if you have a picture in yoru full livry getout lets see that too!

MJBlazek

To best answer our questions. I suggest comparing this to other effegies of the time. http://effigiesandbrasses.com/monuments/?name=&country=1&year=1360&year_end=1370&costume=1&tags=&tag_mode=all&sort=year&per=200&view=gallery But here are my thoughts: It brings up a few other questions I have for e...

MJBlazek

Those look great PB!

MJBlazek

wowza

MJBlazek

No they had some welded tops.

MJBlazek

If it's not taken I will take the Pale Gold Cotte.

MJBlazek

cause it says "Gladiator" in the title... duh!

MJBlazek

And Renstore used to sell Ashcrofts stuff. They still do I think.

MJBlazek

probably.

MJBlazek

It's very possible the game designers used this helm for their design. Chris does work with those sorts.

MJBlazek

Just like any helmet with small eye slots, when it sits close to your face it's not that bad.

MJBlazek

He's on active duty isn't he?

MJBlazek

If anything even at the original price it is UNDER priced. Do you know how many man hours go into making one of these?

There is a guy from England who makes fantastic brigs, I covet them, they start around $2k and go up from there.
WORTH.EVERY.PENNY.

Target Archery- Archery will have to play a large role in this. Even just to satify the notion that "Archers won Agincourt." (even though I personalyl feel that this notion should be dashed against the rocks.) But we will have to hold some form of large archery contest. I think it would be interesti...

Are you talking about what I am trying to put together, or the thing that's taking place in France?

MJBlazek

I am also working in my head the logistics for a "Baggage Train" battle- Pretty much a capture the flag type thing. Historically the French were able to steal one of Henry's crowns. So I am working on a scenario, possibly a barricade fight, where a French attacker would have to get past the barricad...

MJBlazek

While I am trying to ratchet up the appearance rules for this, I wanted to add- If contacted beforehand I will try to help and supply those who TRULY need assistance with some form of covering appropriate to the event. I want people to be able to participate, but I think that something that has such...

Combat Archery- Allowed only on the Agincourt field battle, not the siege of Harfleur. Crossbows will be allowed but bows are STRONGLY PREFERRED. Combat archers are allowed 10 vollies each scenario running. ALL ARCHERY MUST BE DONE IN VOLLY FORM. NO SNIPING ALLOWED. It will be up to the commanders a...
