"Impressive.....Most impressive" [/darth vader voice]

Christopher

First suit. Completely borrowed 2003:

Slipped a disc in fall 2003, stopped fighting.

MY first suit 2009:

ok first suit I made everything including the ugly visor, but not the helm.

Elbows and knees are steel, with all lames and everything else sign aluminum.

Then over the years and a couple thousand dollars later.......

Now changing this kit to make it look like something out of a Froissart illustration.

The fluting really does it on that style.

Great look.

I don't have a pic of my first.
It was a 14g breast and back I pounded out myself over a rail road track.
Arms and legs from the original Armour Store (Brand owned it I think)
Pauldrons from the Armoury of Westling Sturng (or something like that) and a Ashcraft Baker Sallet.

All painted white, with a gold trim.

Ooh...I remember that one .

My first kit, way bak in 1994, was composed of various ugly pieces of conveyor belt, hockey equipments, and the most hideous barbut ever devised. Fortunately, no pictures where taken of it...that I know of...the boy armor was cool, though. Woven strips of black and tan conveyor, laced together with black and white shoe laces. I fondly recal pretty girls playing checkers on me as I took a break at fight practice many years ago....

Now my shiny lamellar, and my roundish shape have me resembling a disco-ball.

well i didn't realize i had another first kit. This one was mostly borrowed except for the sword, shield, and the leather scale.



i really liked the look of the leather but it was entirely too hot to wear here in Arkansas.
