Hi folks, not sure if this would be the right spot or not for this, but here it goes. Looking for a good romano-brit wolf design. Looking to finish up my new shield, but want to do my wolf heads with a celtic(romano-brit) flare. Maybe instead of the wolves, might actually do running wolves instead. ...

Syrfinn

Just a friendly bump.

Just have the knees and Crash Pads left.

Thanks all for bidding.

Syrfinn

Lol, nevermind, you guys bought around same time, but only one of the sales was showing in my emails at the time, so confused me. Will email you the shipping cost AJ.

Thanks

Syrfinn

AJ, think I just sent you an email for the hilt and pommel. Check the second email also, cause the ebay account had a georgia address, so I had done postage to there instead of the 17103 address. Will be emailing again to get the appropriate mailing address.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Already pmed ya.

Should be $4.05. Thanks Bryce

Syrfinn

Lol, yeah he is sneaky like that.

To be honest though, Zen Warriors, did a very good job on replicating Mikes. I really cant tell a difference in them, and Mike barely could, at least the one I have from them.

They did a good job in replicating it.

Syrfinn

Well getting rid of some armor thats just sitting around gathering dust, as well as some stuff I got recently, but have decided not to use. Here are the ebay listings for them. 1605 Series Crashpads XL m Thanks for looking. Just looking to get a few items to finish out my early personna kit, and sel...

Syrfinn

Lol, I remember seeing those pics on Ursus site, and thinking to myself Uilleag has a nice helm. :p Very cool If I ever do another personna from my 5th century Roman-brit, it will be around one of the crusades. Almost thought about having my new helm done in around that style, but talked myself back...

Syrfinn

Ooh, what new helm? Got pics? Come let us see.

What personna you going more towards?

Syrfinn

Bryce, I highly recommend Windrose. Have gotten my last 2 shields from them, and send my squires to them, when they need shields.

Syrfinn

Ok Robin, that helm is sweet, and can't wait to see you out there fighting with the kit.

Is this just going to be an off and off fight kit for you, or are you going to be fighting with this more?

Syrfinn

Yeah I believe a pair of his gauntlets are next on my list. One of my squires has a pair of bazubands I bought off him a few years ago, and loves them. Still trying to decide if I am going to go the bazuband route again or not though. But have nothing but good things to say about Torvaldr and his se...

Syrfinn

Good luck at your guys event this weekend, Henri. Hope you all have a fun time.

Syrfinn

Wasn't saying he was wrong, but he really wasnt making a statement. He was looking to start something under the guise of a statement.

Syrfinn

Oswyn, dont feed the little trolls.

They might get bigger.

Syrfinn

J, sorry really dont have any info for you. But I remember why you came to this forumn, well at least I remember why you made this id, cant remember if you had another one or not. Seems like that situation never got better, which I can see isnt helping your overall outlook on the SCA. But well like ...

Syrfinn

Lol, ok that was funny. Let me know if anyone ever gets one of these. They actually look pretty interesting.

Syrfinn

Hmm, so if I ever moved back to Atlantia, I would be tied for the shortest. Whoohoo. :p You are correct that the avarage height hasn't changed that much, but look around the SCA, it is the one place on earth where I don't feel like a hulking brute, and a guy that is 5'9 "Mr Average" is considered sm...

Syrfinn

Thanks Hamish.

Let me pass it by Maddelina and see if she would be ok with it.

Granted, I have an office expansion in Columbus, that is dragging its feet, so who knows when i am going to get the call to have to be there for the weekend.

Will let ya know.

Syrfinn

Very interesting list so far, looking forward to possibly seeing a full list before Crown.

Where is this Crown going to be held at, by the way? If its within 8 hours of me, I might find a way to drag my butt to it, to watch, and do pickups afterwords.

Syrfinn

Ooh, now that is good to hear. I could see me getting another set if your started offering them as blackened. Would go well with my early kit.

Please keep us up to date on the progress. I think a lot of folks would be very interested.

Syrfinn

Football - Middle Linebacker and Center and a little fullback in my freshman year, before they decided they wanted me at center instead. Wrestling - Heavyweight division in highschool. Martial Arts I have dabbled with, but never stuck with them long. When it came down to either SCA practice or marti...

Syrfinn

Just my experience from dealing with Wulfstan a couple of times. Granted he most likely would not remember me. But was walking away from the fight wondering what the hell just happened. My first encounter with him, was when I was a decently hot unbelt in Atlantia, and walking away from the fight won...

Syrfinn

Aye, both finalists did very well that day. Also to the semifinalists. And a special nod towards Havoc the Wild who missed out on the semis but just a little bit.

Had the pleasure of marshalling both of Havoc and Tindals fights that day, and both did themselves and their consorts well.

Syrfinn

Hi folks, looking to finish up my lamellar but not sure what kind of leather to use. I just need it for the shoulder pieces to hold the lamellar up and also to edge around the lamellar. So does not to be a heavy weight, but not sure what would be good to be able to do both these things with, with th...

Syrfinn

Just a quick post to let folks who are interested know. Duke Rurik fighting for Countess Angelic won AEthelmearc Crown today. Finals was Duke Rurik vs. THL Magnus Tindal best 3 out of 5 Rurik won first fight Great Sword Rurik won second fight Polearm Tindal won 3rd fight Sword and Shield Rurik won 4...

Syrfinn

Thanks Robin. yeah I wanted to say Morgun, but wasnt sure, cause I dont see him with it a lot. And AErling, I had forgotten about due to I just unfort dont get out that way a lot to see him. But yeah, him and I had some really good his short pole vs my katana fights back a few years.

Syrfinn

As an outsider from a nearby kingdom, I give my blessing so I can come play with friends I dont get a chance to play with other than at pennsic. :p

Syrfinn

Cool, as of now, and with the blessings of my lovely wife, I am going to make my trip to Estrella this coming year. Luckily something interfered with our anniversary which is the 1st of Feb, and we had to cancel it, which means I have credit sitting out there with airline tickets. So that actually i...

Syrfinn

Hmm lets see if I can come up with 10 really good polefighters in AEthelmearc. Count Maynard - Like Felix, best damn polearm guy I have seen. Add to the fact, he can switch poles and be just as damn good. Give him a short pole, long pole, just doesnt matter. Sir Koredono THL Tarl Shadowraven - I thi...

Syrfinn

Well ok, you got me, its not like I deny it. :p

Syrfinn

Nah, I dont think it was ever going to turn into a Rapier vs heavy discussion, other than on how some of us heavys seem to be thinking the rapier community is doing something right, and maybe we need to look into it and start immulating it, to help our heavy numbers. I love the rapier community. I d...

Syrfinn

Lol, think you hit the wrong message Barnett.

Syrfinn

Olaf, thats pretty good. I know my guys down in Shire of King's Crossing do a pretty good job with recruiting. Well its just not them, its the whole shire. But the whole shire down there does it pretty well. Luckily, they have access to hold their practices at a mall down there, that has some stores...

Syrfinn

Cool thanks Ingvarr. Makes it hopeful. Looks like right now, if I really wanted to get a ticket, I could find one for between 3 to 4 hundred.

Might talk to the wife tonight about this.
