new armor for my son. FINISHED!!! NEW PICS.

[Heath B fraychef]

so we gave the armor to my son today,
to say he was surprised was an understatement.
wore it most of the afternoon.
the helm should be done some time next week.

[Ckanite]

Very good!!

[Alan Tynneker]

Dang that sword looks enormous on him XD Great looking kit tho.

[Sir Wilhelm]

That is so cool.

[Heath B fraychef]

the sword is actually about 6 inches short of legal length limit. i think the width makes it look huge though.

[Armourkris]

Does your boy have a blond mohawk? because that would be awesome.

The kit does look amazing, and he certainly looks stoked to be wearing it.

What did you make the swords from?

[Heath B fraychef]

yes he has a mohawk, right now the sides are grown out a bit but he's had it since he was 4.
we always give him the option to change it but he likes so it stays. even when he gets teased at school he couldnt care les.

[nkante]

Very nice kit.

[Heath B fraychef]

ok, here are some progress pics of the helm for this kit.
the plates are aluminum covered in leather.
all thats left is riveting, attaching the drape and adding the horse hair.

[Heath B fraychef]

and a few more showing the hinge.

[Ckanite]

WOW!!!!!!! that's AWESOME!!!

[Sir Wilhelm]

Sweet helm. I want that freaking horn!!!!!

[Heath B fraychef]

looks pretty good though right.

[Sir Wilhelm]

Looks awsome.

[Heath B fraychef]

[owen matthew]

Welld done!

[Effingham]

oh sorry the horn is for my wife.

And I'm sure she appreciates it.

[Heath B fraychef]

3 times at least.

[MJBlazek]

BUmp!!

[Heath B fraychef]

ill get some new pics tonight should be done very soon.
we were waiting on brass which arrived yesterday. will be adding the horsehair and finishing riveting next.

[Sir Wilhelm]

Where are the pics of my horn?

[Heath B fraychef]

HA! you mean this one?
i think you would have to seriously harm my wife to get this one.

[Sir Wilhelm]

HA! you mean this one?
i think you would have to seriously harm my wife to get this one.

Could not and would not but that is beautiful.

[Swete]

Your son is a lucky lil dude to have a father as cool as you.

[Heath B fraychef]

thanks, to both of you. and swete, i feel the same about him. he's a great kid.

[Vitus von Atzinger]

You are the greatest Dad that has ever existed.

[Heath B fraychef]

awwww shucks,

[Count Johnathan]

I hope I might be able to come up with something at least half as cool as that if/when my son decides he wants to hit people for fun. Seriously awesome. You and your son are both lucky to have each other.

[Heath B fraychef]

ok as promised the latest updated pics. drape still needs riveting as well as the finnial and then attaching the grill.
should be done this weekend.

[Eltz-Kempenich]

Awesome! A Dropkick Murphys shirt!

The armour is pretty neat too I guess... He will look better than 90% of the heavies out there. Can't wait to see how he looks when he eventually picks up rattan!

[MJBlazek]

this.. is ..EPIC.
I am jealous of your sons armor!

Man.. this is how to do it.. start their bar high when young.. he will never wear generi-gear covered by a bedsheet on the field!

You are totally badass.

[Heath B fraychef]

ok the armor and helmet are now completely finished.
what do you think?

[Heath B fraychef]

more action pics.

[Heath B fraychef]

couple more.
and one with the next generation.

[barcuk]

Fantastic job on the helmet and armor! Congrats.
