The Armour Archive

I'm talking with Ahriman about a possible commision down the road, but outside of Wagner's old sketches trying to figure out the construction (and I strongly suspect that the larger limb pieces are leather), I'm having a real problem finding something good enough to use (and I don't have Wagner's stuff scanned).

Anybody? Since I already have some Hungarian kit (and I'm 3/4 done that "arming caftan," btw, lord, talk about "floating inside your garment"), it seemed like a well-done St. George* would be the next very odd kit...


*The statue was originally Hungarian, and with the armor from Tana, I believe it represents a poorly-documented segment of the "transitional" stage.

A quick search on Google returned this little article on the statue and it's origins??

Thanks, but do yourself a favor and ignore anything written by Erno" Marosi: the guy has a **tremendous** ideological axe to grind, and grind it he does.

oh, err, right????

I've made some photo to it this december, if you give me your e-mail i will send them to you, don't expect wonderful things, St'George is on a horse on a tall support, so is quite far for closeups.

Thanks. Use russnanna@yahoo.com

Thomas, his basic attitude is that nobody in east-central europe ever came up with anything on their own, and that the entire region is totally dependent culturally on Italy and France...
