The math on all that don't really add up to me... but... sometimes helmets work that way. I am lost to. If I remember the out circumference is 27 inch around on this helm. Whoever may get this helm you really don't need a chin strap if you pad it right but that would be up to you. It really is not ...

What have you got for hidden leg armor and how do you like it -- assuming that's your entire field rig in the pic? I cheat and use plastic knees at this time , and I have cargo pants with 13 oz leather in the pockets with padding in behind it for my thighs for the moment. I really do like it. I hav...

That's a cute kit, I must say. Yeah, the arm cutouts on a breastplate need to be well in towards center; metal doesn't fold out of the way. Why thank you What cracks me up about the picture of me in the kit, Is the picture makes me look kind of short not saying anything is wrong with that! But I am...

I thought that some arm adjustment might be necessary. Nice helm also, has a Macedonian feel to it. I took abut 1 1/2 inch's off, and the pictures are actually after the adjustment. I like my helm it has a great feel to it, And the way it is built you don't need a chin strap in it if you don't want...

shamrockarmoury

I love how it rides. I had to make some adjustments to it, like the pectoral / armpit area. I had to trim it out just a bit. It did not keep me from moving my arms forward but it was bruising my arm from forward movement. I have harness straps under the shoulder straps for support of the breast plat...

Here is the Greek muscular that I made for myself. I give it a weathered look and made some modifications for my own personal preference.

So what do you think

Thorvaldr

I was leaning on a fantasy look for it. I had in mind of a gurgle look

shamrockarmoury

Horns?? Horns?? dear gawd I'm in love. Everyone says I'm pure evil with horns on a visor I could live up to their expectations.... Looking good. The holes under the eyes are just little vent hole. The way it curves down under the eyes would help push the air up into your eyes, So I put them there t...

Thank for looking

Here is how I attached mine. First I use the complete tail cartilage and all. I made the leather to fit around it then fold over the edges glued it to hole it in place, Then put the bands over the leather with rivets through it. I can grab it by the tail and swing it about like I am in a bitch fight...

shamrockarmoury

Hello

I have this one on my site, I can make one that looks a little more period but not that tall you would be asking for a hart neck.

If I can help you in anyway just let me know

Thanks
