I appreciate your enthusiasm, but can you use the privmsg feature to "private message" folks on armour that hasn't been talked about in 6+ months? Instead of having a full page of you asking if an armour that was listed a while back is still available?

ring type?

That pavise being worn down the arm appeals to me. I don't wanna go that late, but it is an awesome concept.

Was looking through old threads (like this one m) and was stumped trying to find later representations of sugarloafs. Lutrell and Romance of Alexander seem to show up as the most cited. I am wondering if folks know of any other artwork or effigies (english preferred) that run later than 1340. 1350-1...

knitebee should also be able to crank out a set fairly quickly

drat and blast! I just picked up a helmet. If this is still around later, I think I need.

interested in the softcover. I'll send a pm in the morning.

My wife's kit using Polarbearforge lamellar plates with a helmet from Sean of the Chippendales, ti sword basket from Mrks, and shoulders from Knitebee. The upper belt is across the chest (boobage level) and helps keep things from moving around. She found the chest band on Italo-Norman representation...

Anything with gap between your face and the grill. You're probably going to be best served by something with a pivoting visor.

if these are still available, secondy dibsy

You might want to try http://www.macphersonleather.com/

They sell wholesale, and they have an SCA discount. Plus they are just up in Seattle.

Closer (I think) to your neck of the woods is http://www.oregonleatherco.com/ They usually have pretty good scrap in the Portland store

front load washer with a wools setting, woolite, extra spin, and lots of flat surfaces around the house. I wash my wools a few times each season.

It pains me to say it, "microsoft security essentials" along with malware bytes.

Payn

what is it that you are looking for, exactly? The fight practice is at 65th and Ravenna on Wednesday nights. North end of the park and ride lot. Ostensibly 7-10, but more like 7:30ish to whenever (10,11,12...) I am there pretty much every week. This week included. If you are looking for other sca ac...

You might want to check Craiglslist in your local area. Here in the seattle area you can get canon 20d's for under $300 (oddly cheaper than the digital rebels). They are the a durable camera that take good pics. When dealing with Canon's, I recommend investing in lenses more than bodies.

Another vote for the nuttybuddy. The math is pretty interesting.

Many years ago an An tir squire explained to me that they hit a lot harder out there than we do in Trimaris and therefore arm blows were not safe because they would be breaking each other's arms all the time. He was a nice guy and seemed to be an otherwise reasonable fellow so I was prepared to giv...

Standard for Antir is a double elim with a 2 out of 3 finals (with your preferred equipment) Occasionally we will have a "Sweet 16" style where there are 8 fields. Each field has 1/8th of the fighters who showed up. A round robin style tourney is fought on each field. Top 2 from each field...

Mine is curved, and eventually it bent as well. Lasted about a year, which was more than I had hoped for.

I run mine in a vertically strapped fashion. Every month or so, I have been re-curving it. I will probably add a reinforcing bar on my next one.

I took another look at Oliver Ingham as you mentioned, to me it looks like a straight-leg effigy with one foot turned a bit - somewhat of a more dynamic pose than the rail-straight effigies. More interesting about the Ingham effigy is the arm placement! It's the right knee pointed out that leads me...

Payn

That particular style of leg placement is rare. The closest I know is Gilbert Marshall (1241) . The details don't match, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be that your piece is inspired by this one. Nice! I guess I blend all of the chain and sword guys together, as I had never noticed that o...

Payn

the only one that I know of tha uses that odd leg placement is Sir Oliver Ingham in Norfolk. The legs were already gone by the 1830's, when Monumental Effigies of Great Britain was done. The body position though, and what can be seen of the legs, points to an odd twisting, almost as if "shipwre...
