Knotwolf Armory has started on my new helm!
My panties are all wet!
Im finally gonna own a Rich Helm!
Ops, I need a cigarette now:)
He is doing a slight customization of his spangen 4b for me!
Ima add a set of Drx lamellar, a nice Vendel repro shield and a nice new set of fighting kit from Adric!
Plan to do a kit as close to LH quality as I can
Being an armor whore sucks but pays off in the end when a kit comes together:)

Can't wait to see it! Brass lamellar is going to weigh a ton, but it will look sweet.

Well as long as it doesnt weigh over 30+ pounds I should be ok
Ive carried that around with me for some time but lost at least that much so far:)
Kinda be like fighting without armour in this case:)

Congrats! A Richard helm is a real prize. It's more of an investment. I've had the same one for over 12 years and it still looks great, I recently had it Rich "romanized" it instead of buying a new one and just got it back. Same helm, new look.
