Wow. Just ... wow.

Second dibs

Lucian Ro

Disregard, too bid. Damn it.

Lucian Ro

Definitely interested in a few 5" x 3", or whatever similar size, of my heraldry!

Gaunts and half-gaints mailed out today via Priority Mail with Insurance and Delivery Confirmation. Arrival date is slated for 06/04/12

Finger shields are still available for a sweet price.

Lucian Ro

Wide foot here too, wear a 9.5, bought a 10, voila for both my turn shoes AND my thigh-high hunting boots.

Lucian Ro

Great story. Are there pictures of it mounted on the helm?

Lucian Ro

Blood? Ale? And here I was thinking it was the famous Coopers chocolate milk.
Okay, fine, ale it is.
Can't wait to see you two (three, sorry E!) in August.

Hey, Frank, FRANK! Just to get this social wreck of a thread back on track, I'm still waiting to hear back from you if you have this boot:

No, no I know His Excellency Galvyn quite well, I just like to give him grief.
A lot of grief.

Lucian Ro

Sorry folks, been working. All sold items will ship Saturday morning.

Price update on the finger-shields.

Lucian Ro

Sorry, current shield is aluminum. Thanks for all the great ideas, folks, thank god and Yoda for the Archive.

Lucian Ro

For those of us that are limited on tools, i.e. lack jigsaws, how can one produce a hole for our centergrip shield?

Lucian Ro

Remember when you were a mundane, plebian sew-monkey?

Me either. You've always been a Laurel Rock Star, Maitresse, now you're simply getting recognized for it.

I'm pretty flexible, feel free to add me to your carry-on luggage.

Lucian Ro

At what point do card games gain prominence? I know nothing about their history, although I enjoy poker and such occasionally. Was there a rise and fall, as it were, for these types of games? Any articles on 14th century gaming? Thanks for the links, by the way, I've been wanting to add a period dec...

Lucian Ro

Thanks, James, for that perspective.

Lucian Ro

PM'd you.

Lucian Ro

Gauntlets are sold.
Half-gauntlets pending.
Finger shields still available.

Lucian Ro

Fingershields

Lucian Ro

Edited to reflect new price on finger shields. Have a few things I want to get out or my armour box, so with no further adieu: 1) Aluminum clamshell gauntlets with enclosed thumbs. These things are tanks. They come with near-brand new (fought in once) Mylec street hockey gloves already sewn in. I to...

Seriously tacky, Cisco.

Lucian Ro

Oversized-helm with extra padding it is, thank you Robert and all -- this was a very important question so I appreciate everyone's input.

Lucian Ro

Viking Leathercrafts, absolutely. Frank is tops. We've bought three pairs of shoes from him in the last few weeks.

FB'd you as a go on the fingermittens then, especially if you need the cash.
Been there, it's no fun.

Lucian Ro

Frank, received my tall boot s today and I love them, thank you. Since I love them so much, I MIGHT just want another pair of boots too -- do you still have these?

Lucian Ro

Icefalcon is tops in my book; allow me to reiterate.

Lucian Ro

Gorgeous

Lucian Ro

Icefalcon. I love mine, I love Ice; take that as you will.

Lucian Ro

I have long appreciated Luther Anshelm's bascinets, so I was hoping those of you that have them would possibly share pics.
Would it help if I say "pretty please"?

Lucian Ro

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like some arm-chair authority dork, was just offering observations of what I've noticed.

Lucian Ro

Murdock, there are some European guys out there weighing 150 doing it, you'll be fine. Not sure about the shoulder, though ... I wanna try it, i honestly may just be too light weight to do it. I also am not sure my back will take it. This year i was recovering from shoulder surgery or i would have g...

Lucian Ro

a) Does the pizza come with it?

b) What size helm and what thickness?

Lucian Ro

Hi Will. I normally am, yes, but recently I have been wearing them without, hence the issues. Unfortunately, no, there's no loop on the back of my greave. I assume that used in conjunction with a pin on the front would help keep pressure off of the front of the foot. Lucian, are you wearing Sabaton?...

Lucian Ro

You also see period examples of greaves that simply used a diagonal cut to accomplish this. High on the outside-lower by about an inch to the inside. The demi greave covered it. I know I'm responding to this JUST a tad tardy but I've been getting more workouts in the greaves and was hoping you coul...
