I know weird topic, but I was thinking of throwing these up on ebay, so I could buy a new helm, since I play Space Wolves again, but then the thought came to me, that I know some of you guys play 40k also and I might be able to cut out the middle man. My pics are at home, so will take better pics to...

Syrfinn

Glad to hear your doing better, bro.

Syrfinn

I would have guesses of what could drive you both out of it, but that would be it. It would be more of me putting myself in your shoes and guessing what would piss me off.

I'm always afraid to buy one of your helms, Knotwolf. I suck at upkeep, which is why I always buy stainless.

Syrfinn

I might be in the market to get a used spangen type helm for right now. Looking for cheap to be honest, cause its just going to be a go between till I get a new one made. Havent decided if I am going to mess with it yet, but wanted to test the market while I was thinking. I love the later period stu...

Syrfinn

A lot of people use whats called car trim to go around their shields to protect the edging, instead of ugly rubber hose. Windrose actually sells it also, so you can have them put it on first then canvas it. All you would have to do after that is paint it.

Syrfinn

Have gotten all of my shields from Windrose the past 10 years I want to say. Have never had an issue and always a pleasant experience. My last 3 have had them do the cartrim then canvas over it. Saved me a lot of time.

Syrfinn

Best of wishes to Jackie and his family. Thanks for letting us know.

Syrfinn

Have a lot, but for single accomplishment would have to say, the first Mabinogy Dragon in Sacred Stone - Atlantia, was I believe 93 or 94. Basically the Dragon composed of 14 people. 3 in the front, 3 for each wing, and 3 for the tail. Plus there was two archers in the middle that could shoot you 36...

Syrfinn

Thanks for all the fine words.It has been less then 24 hours and I want to make a helmet. Lol... This is going to be a lot harder then I thought.... X-X Make them. Do it at your own speed and sell them when they are done. People will buy them, that is a proven fact. It just eliminates the customer ...

Syrfinn

Lol yeah, just not feeling the kit. But not sure what I am being drawn to. Well other than drifting away.

Syrfinn

PM replied to. Sold to Eyvandr. Thanks

Syrfinn

Bought this to go with my flattop helm, but well getting rid of that to, just have a friend who called first dibs on it if I ever thought about selling it. Right now I am in a transition phase with SCA, so kind of just gonna fight in my loaner stuff till I figure out what I am doing. But this is bra...

Syrfinn

Sure no problem, when on the weekend?

Syrfinn

Hi folks, got these a couple of months ago, fought one time, and yeah thats one time with them, not one practice. But need some cash for some expenses and well I rarely fight off weapons anymore, so can let these go and pick up another set later. They are aluminum with stainless thumbs. New they are...

Syrfinn

This is how I did mine, was quick and simple and I liked it.

Syrfinn

I'd still contact him if you havent. He might not be taking commisions at this point, but by Pennsic, probably.

Syrfinn

Yes, It sucks. What fixed it was when they cleared out all the crap in my shoulder shaved off a bunch of bone in the socket and steaked my labrum back to the humerus. My arm was immobile for a month after the surgery. It has been almost a year now with out fighting (untill just a few weeks ago) and...

Syrfinn

Angus, I highly recommend Shamrock. He was the one that did my modifications on my old Roman Cav helm, when no one else would touch it.

Syrfinn

They are yours Iain, will wait for your pm, will figure out shipping cost while waiting.

Syrfinn

Just changed add, gonna let them go seperatly if anyone wants. If someone wants both, thats cool to, just giving both options now.

Syrfinn

other pic of back of shorts

Syrfinn

Well bought these a couple of weeks ago, have worn them twice. They actually work very well but just not liking them. Not sure if its just that I am used to actual solid or not. But just not into these. So my experiment is your gain. The shirt is XXL, I am 50" in chest and gut, and it goes on f...

Syrfinn

Right there with ya Vitus. I need to try and pick one up in the near future. We realized last night, why I am screwing my shoulder and elbow up everytime I fight. Since I switched to lighter baskets, I have stopped using my body and all I use is my arm and small circular motions for my resets, but b...

Syrfinn

If the "normal fighter" is taking it then that IS the norm. If you have to have higher calibration to be a higher end fighter then you are outside the norm. Thor- "I get the normal fighter to take the shot, cause they take under the norm, but once I get up to the higher end, or melee...

Syrfinn

Agree with a few here. Poor power generation, basically using all arm and no body. I'm guilty of it also, is one of the very bad habits I have picked up over the years. For the most part, I get the normal fighter to take the shot, cause they take under the norm, but once I get up to the higher end, ...

Syrfinn

Very cool, the old Atlantian Speed Tourney is back. I missed it. Granted when it finally went away ahile back, we were only drawing like 20 or so fighters, which is why i think you all changed it to the Squires Tourney.

But this tourney has been missed and I will definitely be in it.

Syrfinn

Congrats to their Highnesses, great to hear. Hopefully will get to see some videos of the semis and finals, all 4 combatants are top notch.

Syrfinn

One thing I have grown to really hate. Is watching a new person coming out, specially fighter type. Have them talk about some recent action flick, ie 300, Kingdom of Heavan, Braveheart, Arn, whatever. And having the local movie nazi go off on them, and basically crush anything the new person was hop...

Syrfinn

Sorry didnt catch up with you Thorvald, had to leave the field before the gate battles started. Was good talking to you a bit while you guys were shooting me with your ballista. :p

Syrfinn

I sent you a request last night Frank, for two belts and about 13th cent shoes with vibrams size 11. So you should have something on your sites mail.

Thanks

Syrfinn

I can never find white on their site, is it a custom order? Thats where I used to get my stuff from, but last couple of times couldnt find anything.

Thanks

Syrfinn

Bah, I knew I knew of someone who had them, just couldnt remember.

Thanks, will take a look.

Syrfinn

Looking to buy 2 white belt blanks. Can be 1.5 or 2" wide, I have buckles for both types. Needs to be at least 70" long. My old belt I used when i was wearing chainmail and well isnt that white anymore, actually had a comment from one of our Dukes about it. Hadnt worn a normal type in 5 ye...

Syrfinn

I'll be out there Thorvald, so feel free to look me up, will be the guy looking like below, except I will probably have on my white surcoat with my device on it, instead of the blue one.

Syrfinn

Was a very good Crown. Fights were all best 2 out of 3, and once folks got to semi's, the loser side started with one loss already.

Semis were Duke Marcus vs Count Ingvar, and Sir Isenwulf vs THL Gabriel Hawkes.
