Re: spring cleaning tools, books, armour, and more

Those aluminum arms might suit me for some hidden armour I'm putting together. What size arm are they made to fit?

Re: Show me the best Phrygian/Norman Conical Helmet pics

Aesyr Metalwyrks makes some very nice helmets.. the Phrygian I've drooled over for years now mostly because of the top (and I only wish it was blackened Stainless) is this one from knotwolf and would swap the leather drap for a chain. http://www.knotwolf.com/mambo/images/stories/helmets/E-6.jpg Rey...

Re: New 1340s Harness

I love the 1340's look. I'm rather fond of the 3/4 length sleeves over the vambraces setup. Save up for the brass hardware you'll need for the belt. Gotta have that bling.

Re: Please G*d, No knee fighting in C&T.

"testicoli" hee hee hee... Yeah, knee fighting is dumb if you're trying to make it look realistic. But, as Diglach points out, it is a sport penalty not intended to necessarily mimic the reality of a sword fight in any way. It's all a matter of perspective. Thus is illustrated the rift that exists b...
