Shamrock Armoury, because jackie and crew are the bees knees

NeeSayer

Just don't be an asshole. If you carry yourself like a fighter and don't ask for special treatment because you're a woman then no one will even bat an eye at you being in armour.

I was thinking about either leg wrappings if I can find documentation for them (but I think my persona is a little late for 'em) or early gutter greaves to cover up the baggy pants look. Still haven't entirely fleshed out the exact time frame of my persona, just the location (acre) so need to do mor...

Found a better picture of my kit to show off. Like I said previously, still needs alot of work done. I have a new kettle helm that I have to strap and pad yet that will make that part more period. I also have a new hospitaller habit being made that will help out since the tunic I wear now is kind of...

Hockey shorts. Cheap and protect the thighs really well (as well as good coverage for the feared ass wrap shot).

NeeSayer

I may be just missing it but what are the plates made from? Also while it's all spread out can you measure what you have to see if the amount of plates will work for what I need? Sam is busy so stepping in to help out again. They're made out of stainless. The assembled part is 43" long by 12 1...

That shot looks like it's gonna sting a bit

I love the fact that they've become almost common place in the SCA.

NeeSayer

For being made yourself, you did really good.

Fixed. Mucho gracias

Look up jackie at shamrock armoury. See the review I just posted up to know why I recommend him highly

NeeSayer

Recently I had the pleasure of doing business with Jackie and crew over at www.shamrockarmoury.com I say pleasure with a full smile only brought on by awesome customer service. His communication was always spot on, sending multiple in process pictures, informing me immediately of any delays (which w...

Are these available with the vibram soles?

NeeSayer

These things are awesome. The quality and worksmanship on the one I bought is top notch. Money well spent

NeeSayer

17 years of hockey here (granted as a goalie but still), 5 years of boxing, and wrestling also.

I've heard the comment before that I tend to use the body a bit more on close in fighting than some so maybe your theory is sound.

NeeSayer

I enjoy the hell out of axe fighting, and use my two handed axe almost exclusively in melees. Can't get on the front lines with it (5' just isn't enough to be effective there), but you can wreck havoc with it on anyone that breaks through your lines.

I once saw a so called knight of a northern kingdom lose his temper and punch a friend of mine in the grill of his helm multiple times. I did nothing, and still regret it. What happened because of it? My friend almost quit the sca after over 10 years of playing. The pathetic example of a knight that...

NeeSayer

I could be completely mistaken, or it might be a cultural difference between fighting cultures, or it could be with the new rules they do strike :insert appropriate word here:. I know with the group that taught me how to play, and most places I fought single handed axes were treated the same as swor...

If they're a mass weapon, yes. If they are a single handed axe, no.

NeeSayer

When I first started fighting I had alot of the normal ideas of what would work (derived almost entirely from hollywood). At a event in Northshield called Quest for Camelot I was doing some pick up fights with HG Duke Terrach (sp?). I decided that salmon leap move from the movie Troy would translate...

NeeSayer

Listen to the guys that said to email jackie at shamrock armoury. Seriously, the dude does awesome work

NeeSayer

I would of loved to pick this helmet up, but sadly it's sized for a head 2" smaller than mine.

NeeSayer

Wowza, that's a really nice lid

But why did you tag it viking? There's nothing viking about it

NeeSayer

Contact jackie at shamrock armoury. I've seen several examples of work where he's added to already made helms and it always turned out great.

NeeSayer

whoa

NeeSayer

Holy hell dude, that turned out amazing. I can't wait to get home and smash some people with it.

NeeSayer

Hey, did you make the hat that samuel is always wearing around?

NeeSayer

I'll take number 2, pm me the details

NeeSayer

There's absolutely nothing viking about that helm IMHO. It is however a very nice helm and not what I was expecting to see when I clicked the thread
