My kit is Roman but it is sooo not even close to being done I couldn't possibly post it. Half of it is still all loaner gear.
Talk to Niall... He has a nice kit!

Early settlement period Icelander. ....except for the shoes. It was a bit chilly on Halloween and my turnshoes weren't quite finished.

Chris...I must say sir...I have decided that I don't like you....While you have been polite to me in the past and answerd e-mails from me about past armour...I have decided that it really is unfair you are so talented, and I don't like you anymore...Now I will go and cry me a river.....
That is one totally sick kit Chris...But yeah...I do dislike like you...too much talent...And none coming my way....just so unfair...

Seems we've stood together in the shield wall then, I was at Chester with Regia and did my spear test there with Mike and Paddy.
Chris, dude, your kit is inspirational. Just wow dude!

Nice one!
sadly my memory for names is terrible - what colours did you have on your shield?

I was with Grantanbrycg as a squishy so my shield was red and black. I had a green wool tunic with red and yellow embriodery on it if that helps Lol.

I don't have this kit anymore.

I have now ditched the lamellar (which is askew from a day of fighting). I need to buy another maille shirt-- I sold my last one because I was broke.

Castus was nice enough to post pictures of my kit for me since I am technologically inept (unless compared to my parents).
My kit is a mid 1stc BCE Gaul. The helm I made with Eric Helmschmidt of Zweihammer armoury out of stainless steel. These pics were taken at La Prova Dura in May.

If you read my earlier comment, I made it with Eric Helmschmidt of Zweihammer Armoury. I'm glad you like it.
Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2008 1:02 pm
completely awesome.
Unfortunatly I wouldnt even consider myself a 'novice' armorer AND I'm about to move back into the Barracks on Post so I wont be able construct anthing of that nature.
Feel like building a new one?

You can't believe how touched I am that you guys like my helm.
However, I have to give most of the credit to Erich Helmschmidt. I had the idea and the research, but I'm not even close to a novice armourer. Without him it would still just be the dream helm I wanted since I joined the SCA. I did the manual labor, but Erich designed and figured out how to make the helm fit my head.
