Pics that inspire YOU

Post by Baron Alejandro »

Who can't get enough pics! I can't!

Let's go for some complete self-satisfaction here. Screw everybody else, what pictures are out there that make YOU run to go get in armour!


I always kinda dig that pic of Sir Vitus standing in front of the fort with his spear. Mainly because I want to do 16th Century like he does 14th. That level of crazy-genius-accuracy.

Pics of Gordon always set me off, because I want to be a crazy old man like him when I grow up. :D

Post 'em up! Avoid the attachments. Attachments make bebeh JT cry.

I have a picture of my wife and of my daughter on my desk, I carry them with me in my thoughts. That is what inspires me in most things.

Sir, I take exception to your statements. I'm not old. Just well worn.

:lol:

Thanks for the wonderful complement, though! And you've GOT to come out and play at the School of the Renaissance Soldier: Actions of the Lowe Countries some year! http://renaissancesoldier.com/ Next one is in less than a month!

Oh, as far as pics that inspire, here's one of my favorites, from The MET:

For kit, for 16thC, I keep going back to this one:

[img]http://www.silvertyne.com/gallery2/d/2453-2/1280x1024-royalarmouries-105.jpg[/img]

If if he was a crazy I love the longbow down with guns kinda guy, Sir John Smythe's armour in the royal armouries is awesome.

Kelson made me the breastplate, I have that clang helm (not quite, but full of teh amazing). Colletin and MAYBE those legs and there will be some late period goodness.

Funny thing, I was divided as to which pic I would post, the gens d'arms in the MET, or the Sir John Smythe armour at Leeds! You, Sir, have excellent taste!

Cheers!

It's images of camps like this that make my heart beat faster:

I'm in this picture, look for the smallest red/black tent you can find. I'm on a bench fixing something. :D

I'm SO looking forward to this event again!

Kind of a Where's Waldo? :D
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. -Aristotle
