How Much Do They Cost?

MJBlazek

They're cooler.....they have Horsies!

oh wait...you have Horsies too....hmm....Ill have to think about this

but they have this girl....sorry they win..shes a cutie!!

MJBlazek

The page wont work for me....what are the prices on these pieces?

MJBlazek

nice man...how much do they run?

MJBlazek

SirBrand...

You do great work! How much do you think you would charge for a Saltshaker Helm...in SS...or in Mild.....SCA Legal?

MJBlazek

Yeah..the whole "I have no information abotu these helms" thing kinda made me wonder....Im sure if they were stolen the owner would pay you back the $137

MJBlazek

Pell....what are the measurments on those bauzbands you were going to list? I might be interested!

Matt

MJBlazek

What about the ones with the Red Gloves? Or are they the wisbyesque as well?

MJBlazek

How much for the Gauntsw in pic #4? The black ones?

MJBlazek

Cause he lowered the price from $121 to $99!

MJBlazek

Not bad, a bit pricie though... Pricie??? Maybe you looked at the wrong prices as he mades a hand sewn model , a leather shell model, or a machine sewn model with some hand work. The standard machine sewn model is 110 euros (about $140 USD) , made in linen and tailored to your body... this is not o...

MJBlazek

Guilliame...Im still thinking....Ill let you know before the week is out.

Would you consider taking like 2 payments for it? not shipping until its paid in full?

Matt

MJBlazek

Hey...gee...I wonder why they call it FANTASY????

MJBlazek

Ok...I have to comment on this. From an experienced actor's and director's point of view I would try to steer away from real armor. Also unless you have an experienced stage combat choreographer to come in and teach you some stuff i wouldnt go the SCA combat route for the fighting. REAL comabt does ...

MJBlazek

Oh I sure it is a chronic problem.... But I love my Amanda more than anythign in the world, and I could honestly never think of bringing her to some event and not payign attention to her!

Also Like I said...it all depends on how old these kids are... do you really want to arm them with somethign that will do a heck of a lot of damage?

MJBlazek

PVC Maile might be a good idea too....they use that in a lot of movies too. though the cheapest you will find is the sweater. Another thing.. How old are the kids that are doing this? Yet again i say you don't want to weigh down and overheat younger kids. They wont last through the play! I directed ...

MJBlazek

Also weapons..... are you sure your school will allow steel weapons?

What you could do for weapons is buy a couple of wooden wasters...and decorate them up real nice. Fake jewels for the pommels and such.

MJBlazek

Ive done it:) Its a great play. We never had armor though. We just fought in out schoolclothes. Ahh but the movie has made things more flashy now hasnt it? But here is a good question....are you looking to go Narnian Fantasy or Earth historical? Fantasy you can do a heck of a lot more on a tighter b...

MJBlazek

My dear madame....how could I do anything but pay attention to the most beautiful woman there? I would be a brute!

MJBlazek

What play are you doing? What is your budget? What is your timeframe? I have never made any armor for a play, but I have been involved in the theater world for nearly 20 years, and was an equity actor for a short time before going to school. If it is low budget, and short timeframe, most productions...

MJBlazek

ok, well thats far too late then for what i was looking for.

MJBlazek

This might be off topic for this forum, but I was just wondering, how did you all get your signifigant other involved in things? Girls you can chime in too, but I am specifically wondering how the guys got thier ladies involved. I have a wonderful girl of nearly 3 years runnign now, and while she en...

MJBlazek

Hey all, now that I got a chain suit at a great deal Im looking to get a saltshaker helm for a great price too! Im really spending far more money than I should be already, so Im interested in do it yourself kits too.

Anybody got one or know of one on the cheap?
Matt

MJBlazek

Im sure I will

This is a big step towards a crusader persona I have wanted to make ever since watching KOH. I never could have afforded to do it if it wasnt for this great deal!

Matt

MJBlazek

Im going German in the SCA too....but I just like the gothic plate to much!

MJBlazek

Sell them on ebay, then take and save the money up for a pair of new period boots

MJBlazek

Yeah, But I think Gregory was lookign more for the ..."you don't see, even if it be in a generic form"

MJBlazek

In a couple of those effigies there were breast plates that looked to have chains on them? Whats this? They were neat!

MJBlazek

The stuff in the link that Ivo posted....thats what Im making!

MJBlazek

Ahh yes....but it does take time.

MJBlazek

Thats an incredible peice of work.
I personally think that they style is gawdy and ugly.
But I can apprectiate an incredible piece of work!

MJBlazek

I actually have to agree no a lot of points. Injusries happen in SCA stick fighting all the time. Whether they are wearing steel or plastic. Sometimes it is the armors fault, often it is user failure, and even more rare is some hulk hitting so hard that it doesnt matter what you are wearing your gon...

MJBlazek

I apologize if I insulted you that was not the intention. I'm merely saying to those who have a problem with obvious plastic on the field that DVA is merely supplying an already existing demand. If my post seemed demeaning to you, again I apologize. no no noo NOOOO! It was a general statement on my...

MJBlazek

Do you know what deteriorates the enviroment faster than plastic armor...for me at least? Vehicles in plain sight of the event. Its not a fickin dragon. Pop up Dome Tents. Are we all eskimos? Booths selling...crap...and calling it Celtic. And people snarking on me for not being as authentic as them

How did you all get your signifigant other involved? (SCA?)

WTB. Inexpensive..or DIY Saltshaker
