The Armour Archive

Sasuke doesn't armor much anymore but we do get together at least once a year for a history event for kids.

I made a anime style breast plate very similar to the one you linked from polish hussar supply, minus the decorations as this was a trial. I have CAD drawings of full front, back, shoulders/lames if you would like. There is some adjustments that I made from the CAD file to the finished piece, ie. cu...

Emeryk

Awesome immage, thank you. That is just the type of info i was looking for. As always, thank you Craig for all your info and allowing us noobies to use your patterns. Without them my start into the world of armoring would have been a bit tougher.

Emeryk

Thank you for the response. I get what you are saying. I guess my main question was if it would be ok to make the left and right the same shape? On his site the left and right are very different. I suppose if it is more accurate to do them just the way he does them I will just do it that way. I am n...

I am going to make a set of early 15th cent. (aiming for 1400-1410 ish) Italian shoulders as a gift and was wondering what would be the most common style? What would be the proper style around Venice be at that time? Could I use Craig Nadler's early 15th cent. shoulders? Would they have to be differ...

Emeryk

Shoot me a pm with pricing info, type of boot, and any possible shipping info. Thank you.

Emeryk

Thanks for the posts. I am still looking. May even have to learn to make them myself. I have the leather and tools just not the patterns or experience.

Emeryk

I am going with early 17th century Polish Hussar and I just cant afford the yellow boots from polishhussarsupply ($450 with shipping). So I figured black should be ok unless I can find a yellow set for a more budget friendly price.

Emeryk

I thought about Viking leather craft but they are not the right type of boots, I have ordered from Frank before so I know I can count on him if I go that rout. Thanks for the replies. I sent a message to son of sandlar too, we will see what they say.

Emeryk

I am looking to get a new pair of boots. Are these guys as good as their reviews suggest? Has anyone dealt with them? Is there another supplier that I could buy from with as short of a waiting period (1-2 weeks max). I understand you pay for quality and I am willing to if I can get them in short ord...

Emeryk

I used 2x6's for the whole construction of my rope bed. After 3 camping seasons it still looks and works like new. I am close to your size. I believe the bed pattern I used came from housr greydragon website (sorry if I got that wrong) but I changed a few things and made it a one person bed. If you ...

My 2015 kit resolutions are to make a second lighter kit and to up my soft kit items as well. Maybe even finish my polish hussar kit thats only 25% finished.

Emeryk

This is my first and only kit so far. I made all of it, including the arming coat. I am on the right.

Emeryk

I believe Clang makes them as well. I believe he has many styles and sizes.

Emeryk

Not sure of your budget but if you want awesome stuff chat with polishhussarsupply.com I have chatted with him a few times and he may be able to do sca legal stuff for you.

Emeryk

Just an FYI all of the armor related projects that I have finished have been given to new fighters, no money required (on occasion I have been forced to accept a small amount of cash for materials). Me and Pathfinder have been talking about "sponsoring" new fighters with knowledge and armor, may not...

Emeryk

I am curious too, as me and pathfinder work together and have been known to make things.

Emeryk

Nice, that's the same one I use and they rock.

Emeryk

Good choice on the winged hussar, that is what my aspiration is as well. I have found the book "Gods Playground" to be a good read for polish culture around the time frame. PolishHussar.com has some really cool stuff, I have not purchased anything from them but it gives you some good reference photo...

Emeryk

I just finished overhauling my COP and did as stated above, punched and drilled them.

Emeryk

Wow, pure awsome.

Emeryk

Is that coffer for a holy hand grenade?

Emeryk

He's got it wrong, look at where his left thumb knucles are compaired to where the joint is in the gauntlet.

Emeryk

I second the use of watered down house paint. I did simple lines and curves on mine last year and they still look good after lots of rain and crummy weather. Be careful on who works on it with you. I let my 9 year old help and ended up with a few drips and such. when using the painters tape be caref...

Emeryk

Sweet, I realy like them.

Emeryk

I think you have done an awsome job of making it all come together nicely. Great job!

Emeryk

Man, those look realy nice.

Emeryk

That is an awsome idea, although the end result still looks modern it is superb to all the gym shoes I have seen.

Emeryk

I would have them watch the for sale board as well. You never know when a great deal will pop up for them.

I also agree with the above posters.

Emeryk

I got 60 from stonekeep last year and they are solid. Plus for the price its always good to have xtras.

Emeryk

It appears, in the third-inside shot-photo that there is a leather strip connecting all the plates down the center as well as the sides.

I can attest to the quality of his work. He brings this awsome anime style armor to our local history fest and the movement is awsome as is the workmanship.

Emeryk

Our group made a butt load of those stools and gave them out as site tokens at one of our events last year. Alas I did not get one because out of towners come first but I think I am going to knock out a couple of those.

Emeryk

Nice job Chris.

Emeryk

Thank you for sending me the file. It works just fine for me now.

Emeryk

Yes please, PM sent.
