MJBlazek

Cher.... any decade

MJBlazek

actually, not interested in the legs... doesnt match my other stuff

MJBlazek

What are some documented paintings on a Black sallet style? what Badges were comonly painted around the border or was it more of an indaviduals/family/personal marking system/preference?

MJBlazek

well then Nissan... I take back what I said... you should have said so earlier!

I thought you were just being...well... you

MJBlazek

Im so glad I decided to try and make this into an intelligent conversation

oh wait... sarnac has an excuse.....

MJBlazek

Interested in legs... but need pic

MJBlazek

yeah Nissan.... that really added to the conversation

*pulls out my extra soapbox*

go ahead smash this one too... I own stock!

MJBlazek

Well..it does and it doesnt... though I do agree about changing the name.. as it is Society for Creative Anachronism puts forward the view that you can do whatever you want. because its Creative.... now if it was just the Society for Anachronism... of the Anacrhonism Society then it would be more so...

MJBlazek

Thanks Tim...

BTW I really like your new avatar!

MJBlazek

Andreas... that is a wonderfull sentiment.. but it holds a very personal view. You joined the SCA becuase of different aspects (so did I for that matter) but there are those whos soul purpose for joining was the combat. Also... I agree with you that there should be a view to look better... if not 10...

MJBlazek

thanks jorgen!

Im not looking for authentic, Im looking for what my local marshal will pass!

Matt

MJBlazek

Anybody know where I can get some of the closed cell foam for helmet padding?

Thanks

Matt

MJBlazek

Actually in all seriousness... Tim is right. What do I get for making my kit more historically accurate besides a thinner wallet, more stress, and less beer? A plastic barrel gets me on the field smackin other guys with sticks... thats what I want to do. Putting together a better kit keeps me from t...

MJBlazek

poop

+1!

MJBlazek

The SCA has been operating for how many years? Accumulating how many hundreds of thousands of members? And it has evolved how much since its beginings? It sounds to me like the SCA will someday become what the people who want to change it into. Its more of just a case of... "but but I want it NOW! i...

MJBlazek

Just doing a check on my orders.. havnt heard from anybody in a while....

Im also tryign to get in touch with Jeff from GK Armory.... havnt heard ANYTHING about my breastplate since before Pennsic.....

Thanks guys.

Matt

MJBlazek

Hal, Yeah, as soon as i get it padded and strapped I will post some pics with it on my noggin. And as soon as I get my new breast plate I will post some pics of that with it also.... Im still debating wether or not to paint a design on the helm...it just looks so nice!! as for the rest of the kit (m...

MJBlazek

Want a great helm at a great price... Get intouch with Halbreds!! I know somone who had this same helm, it is Indian made...though doesnt run terribly big or small. It does have a hook latch on the right side, but it doesnt keep it closed terribly well. Also for SCA combat, it is very light, 16 gaug...

MJBlazek

Im workin on it!!!

MJBlazek

To Halbreds...and all... I recieved my new Halbreds custom sallet today...and its even better than the pictures!! Its amazing! I love the sweep of the back, and the visor and the whole plunger system. And im sure as soon as i have it all padded and strapped it is going to fit superbly!!!!! Halbreds ...

MJBlazek

Halberds wrote:Yes it is very cool...

I should ask for premission to do it in brass and steel.

A cool SCA helm with full Viking face.

Awwwww man.... If Hals going to make that helmet guess I gotta start putting Money Orders in an envelope again.

MJBlazek

Dan,

Hey how are ya.. hope you had fun at Pennsic.
I was wondering if you have ever made a sword belt and scabbard, and if you'd like to make a matching one to go with all the strapping you made for me. Let me know either on here or in a PM!

Matt

MJBlazek

paint your self blue and run around naked!!

No, just kidding. what if you just switched out your plastic lemellar for leather? Maybee you coudl wear a maille shirt under the lamellar too.Im not really sure how commonly practiced that was, but I think it would look nice.

MJBlazek

Oh, and Dave, the Eloquin one....the one with the maple leaves is from maspien

MJBlazek

Ive always liked this one

I've never wanted milleniumLancelot to STFU more than in this thread. Dude, all you're doing is becoming that person that folks like Mal will go to tell stories about. "So the SCA says..." when he's really saying, "This guy on the armour archive said..." A) You're wrong in your arguments with Josh ...
