The Armour Archive

Will get pictures up, when I get home. I basically just took it out of the box and put it on my head to make sure it fit right. But decided to go another route, so dont need this. I have a 23.5" head, and it fits fine with some room to spare, for something underneath if you wanted to wear something....

Syrfinn

Good to see. Will be nice to see Jackie actually have a reliable partner in the shop. One less stress for him.

Syrfinn

Nice kits both, and yeah its nice to see how things look on bigger guys. And have to admit, the cross bar above the basket really draws my eye from the basket and makes it just look like a gauntlet. I have to seriously concentrate to notice the basket, my eye keeps going to the crossbar. Nice job.

Syrfinn

Very nice, looking forward to hopefully seeing footage of it, if there is any.

Syrfinn

Hey, I spelled it correctly. So

Syrfinn

Health always comes first, Jackie. So get better. But really looking forward to when I can wear the new helm.

Syrfinn

Welcome back

Syrfinn

Loving the show, and really loving the fact that they talk about the horses and such.

Syrfinn

Actually if you had paid attention the past year on these titanium shirts, yes they are 2k, but they are not customed. They are their sizes and thats it, so B. Amos actually does have a point, as far as them not being custom made. Custom means they took his measurements and built the shirt to those....

Syrfinn

I really have to get out to this next year. Heck I was even in the kingdom, just in Indiana visiting the parents and playing with golden retriever puppies.

Syrfinn

Ugh, i tried to watch the Top Gear US version again last week, just had to turn it off. Just dont like the presenters, maybe just spoiled from the BBC version. I thought maybe with a year in their belt, they would have better banter between each other, but it was just not good.

Syrfinn

Yeah, I have a scar from a helmet bite over my left temple, have plenty of armor bites from properly fitted armor to myself. It happens.

Loved tonights episode, the 2 guys did really well.

Syrfinn

Loving Full Metal Jousting. Other show I liked but for different reasons, but this show I am loving. I'm needing to pick up a stick and do pell work just to burn off some energy after it.

Syrfinn

I'll pour a 40 for Rod. :) Like I said earlier, loved the show, and luckily, I have never been one of those that get caught up in historical accuracy, when it never was intended to be. I do love the format, probably cause I like Top Shot, Ultimate fighter(before it became just a bunch of drama and v...

Syrfinn

I really enjoyed it. I love the fact that its like Top Shot. I used to watch all the shows like The Contendor, Ultimate Fighter and Top Shot, so it automatically drew me in with that. I like that fact they spent more time talking about the horses. You can definitely tell a difference in which show h...

Syrfinn

Looking forward to watching this, and hoping it does really well.

Syrfinn

Hmm, good point. I was thinking center of shield, but center point of balance would be better. maybe will set it up to see where that is on this and cut the hole there.

Syrfinn

For those who use them, where are you putting the boss at? Granted yeah, I know title says center grip. :), but it doesnt look right there. Was watching some films and saw some, and thought they were interesting. I'm guessing around the 1/4 mark. So lets say shield is 30" long, the boss would go aro...

Syrfinn

Does Calontir have a shield size regulation, for their Crowns, or was it just that most these fighters looked like they were fighting with shields that they could span. I really ought to ask this of all kingdoms at some point. Curious on how many kingdoms have a habit of having shield size rules for...

Syrfinn

Hmm, thats not a bad idea, Marcus. Might have to do some testing with that idea. Other ideas are good also, will have to think about this a bit more. Waiting on the new helm, so have a few weeks.

Syrfinn

All the plastidip posts got me to thinking. Am about to start building a new shield and such, but been procrastinating, cause of all the pain in the but stuff that goes with it, plus knowing that after I put the car edge stuff on the shield then canvas, I always dread when I have to remove everythin...

Syrfinn

Grettr's gauntlets are awesome, and I might try them again at some point. I sold my last pair to one of my squires cause I kept getting armor bites on the side of my right index finger as well as some interesting bruises on the top knuckle. Buts thats cause of my hands, not his gauntlets. I'm guessi...

Syrfinn

Changed personnas, and I always hate seeing nice helms just sitting around not being used.

Syrfinn

Whoever bought this, got a great deal, I wont say how much I paid for it when I had Jackie make it for me, I was the original owner.

Lets just say, merry Christmas, got a steal. :p

Syrfinn

Shipping seems steep, but nice helm.

Syrfinn

Ice Dragon I think still averages over a hundred fighters maybe. I didnt go last year, but I thought I remember someone mentioning it.

But yeah, War Practice and Blackstone Raids are the two biggest, with Ice Dragon behind them. I'll be nice and not include Pennsic. :p

Syrfinn

HEY!! That's a low blow! Why yes...I suppose it is. It's kewl. That still scores in Charlie's league apparently...if you're Charlie. But it's ok, because he has to win every purse for the sake of the Sport. Yep, that was definitely a low shot. DJ, the MC, was one of my knights back in the Knights o...

Syrfinn

I hate to admit, but I keep watching this show. Its like a train wreck, I try to advert my eyes, but keep looking. I think I am now beginning to understand why some people watch Jersey Shore. Granted, I keep finding myself yelling at the TV, either saying your an idiot, or what heck are you doing. B...

Syrfinn

I'll PM ya for details Ka0z, and get out a money order tomorrow for the heater shield.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Wow, ok, that is art. Cant wait to see pics of Ajax in it. Its not often that a helm will make me just dumbfounded. Granted, the few times they have, they have been your work.

Once again, amazing art, Ugo.

Syrfinn

Ka0z, do you by chance know the what kind of aluminum the heater shield is, as in, if its T7 or T6. Debating on getting it, money orders are just a pain to deal with, would of already got it if you did Paypal.

By the way, what would shipping it to 15212 be.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Sounds good Michael, and yep, will keep sending folks your way.

Syrfinn

Pm with info sent Garuhl.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Going back to a bascinet, which means I will go back to an aventail, so dont need this anymore. Was fun wearing it though, had never worn one before, and wasnt sure how I would like it. Wasnt bad at all and loved the look it gave me with the flattop helm. New its $325, have worn it I think about a m...

Syrfinn

I liked it, but mainly cause it reminded me why I watch NASCAR and why I used to watch wrestling. Its over the top, and your just watching waiting for the train wreck. The show could be so much better. I'm curious to how many people joust in the organization he is in. I need to look it up. Cause bei...
