so we gave the armor to my son today,
to say he was surprised was an understatement.
wore it most of the afternoon.
the helm should be done some time next week.

Very good!!

Dang that sword looks enormous on him XD Great looking kit tho.

Posted: **Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:53 am**

That is so cool.

Posted: **Sun Aug 14, 2011 10:29 am**

the sword is actually about 6 inches short of legal length limit. i think the width makes it look huge though.

Does your boy have a blond mohawk? because that would be awesome.

The kit does look amazing, and he certainly looks stoked to be wearing it.

What did you make the swords from?

Posted: **Sun Aug 14, 2011 1:02 pm**

yes he has a mohawk, right now the sides are grown out a bit but he's had it since he was 4.
we always give him the option to change it but he likes so it stays. even when he gets teased at school he couldnt care les.

Very nice kit.

ok, here are some progress pics of the helm for this kit.
the plates are aluminum covered in leather.
all thats left is riveting, attaching the drape and adding the horse hair.

Your son is a lucky lil dude to have a father as cool as you.

Posted: **Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:38 pm**

thanks, to both of you. and swete, i feel the same about him. he's a great kid.

Posted: **Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:38 pm**

You are the greatest Dad that has ever existed.

Posted: **Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:46 pm**

awwww shucks, :oops:

Posted: **Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:09 pm**

I hope I might be able to come up with something at least half as cool as that if/when my son decides he wants to hit people for fun. Seriously awesome. You and your son are both lucky to have each other.

Posted: **Wed Aug 24, 2011 8:49 pm**

ok as promised the latest updated pics. drape still needs riveting as well as the finnial and then attaching the grill.
should be done this weekend.

Posted: **Thu Aug 25, 2011 3:38 am**

Awesome! A Dropkick Murphys shirt!

The armour is pretty neat too I guess... :wink:

He will look better than 90% of the heavies out there. Can't wait to see how he looks when he eventually picks up rattan!

Posted: **Thu Aug 25, 2011 7:23 am**

this.. is ..EPIC.
I am jealous of your sons armor!

Man.. this is how to do it.. start their bar high when young.. he will never wear generi-gear covered by a bedsheet on the field!

You are totally badass.

Posted: **Sat Aug 27, 2011 3:19 pm**

ok the armor and helmet are now completely finished.
what do you think?

Posted: **Sat Aug 27, 2011 3:23 pm**

Posted: **Sat Aug 27, 2011 3:24 pm**
