If you have any pics of your harness you wore years ago in that tv spot with you at Estrella can you post them pls for a friend of mine wanting to do a later period kit especially the burgonet. In fact all your kits over the years would be nice...
Thanks,
Edward

I am amazed people still remember that clip. I'm happy it still inspires people.
Here are some of my armours per your request. #1 to #3 I made (#2 helmet by Robert McPherson), #4 Ugo made the curraiss, #5 Kreiger made the faceplate on the left, rest my work, #6 is a combination of other craftsmen, #7 is Luther Anshelm, #8 is Robert McPherson, #9 is Cory Hurt, #10 My work on the helm and a close friend made the doublet to go over a Kydex curaiss, arms and legs and this is close to what I wore in the ESPN Amazing Games interview. The helmet from the ESPN show was the lobster tail at the bottom of the pics.

I reckon #6 is the best, that combination of plate and mail...it looks so menacing.

Sir Gaston, now that I know that picture is yours I need to tell you something.

Your pic #3 was the very first kit that I ever saw that made me want to improve my appearance on the field. It's the first SCA kit that made me say "Wow - that's aweseome." It made me pick up my first hammer.

I never knew where that picture came from, and now I do. Thanks.

Chello!

Yes, what was that one line toward the end? "I'm wired for sound and if any of you guys don't call your blows I'm calling you by name."

Pics 3 & 4 are really what I want to try to get at some point. To me that is what I envision me as a "knight in shining armor" to be.
Now if only this untalented slob can find an armorer who can do it.

Gaston could you share any more pics of #2.
I remember it from a St Mikes pas a few years back I think. I would like to see it in more detail.
