Yes, yes, since I can't locate any aluminum scalloped lamellar plates within a reasonable amount of time, I was wondering if anyone knew of persons selling prefabricated leather or ... grrr ... plastic lamellae? I prefer the scalloped or 'bullet' shaped design. Anyone? Thanks in advance, folks. ----...

Lucian Ro

Heya, Karen. No trim needed. I have some here that I picked up at Pennsic that I'll add myself, thanks!

Sincerely,
Lucien

Lucian Ro

Thanks for the quick response, Otto -- this is exactly why I work with you two; you're a pleasure.

Sincerely,
Lucien

Lucian Ro

Heya, Otto. Could you pass along my inquiries too, please?
I didn't seem to get the last e-mail that she sent, so I'm hoping she's receiving mine.
Just checking on my two tunics and cloak.

Thanks in advance,
Lucien

Lucian Ro

I agree. Dealing with Otto was nothing less then delightful. Extremely quick response, excellent communication and a top notch stainless helm -- his first if memory serves -- to boot. Glad to hear you had as enjoyable experience as I did. Otto and his wife, Karen, are indeed delightful souls to do b...

What is the typical size for a round and what type of wood is best ... ? I think I want to try a new shield style and I keep hearing that the round provides you with some sound footwork, as it doesn't cover as much as a heater. Thanks! ------------------ In Honor and Service, Lucien Ro / Scotty Let'...

As a unit, the impressed the hell out of me at Pennsic XXX. I wasn't able to fight, so I was able to observe them as a group. Well done. As people? Well, let's just say as I was sitting eating lunch [with you, Dagisd, you little girl] and I heard more derisive comments from our supposed 'chivalry' f...

Lucian Ro

Hiya, folks -- sorry, been busy. Yes, indeed, it was Chris/Sasuke that made them for me. Actually he made them twice because the first were too small. Great work, excellent communication, and a sound price. I highly recommend him. Now go look at my Spear post in Weapons, damn it. =) ----------------...

Lucian Ro

Yes, this IS a cross-post from Weapons -- because we know how much traffic that area gets, lol. I did a search but couldn't find how to make a spearhead for SCA heavy fighting in the East. This has been mentioned numerous times, but, alas, I can't come up with the post. I remember someone mentioning...

Lucian Ro

I'm familiar with the "beer coolie" design but I remember hearing of using the street-hockey pucks and thin strips of leather. This seems like an inherently more stable -- and longer-lasting -- way to do it. Anyone remember who brought up this way to do it? ------------------ In Honor and Service, L...

I did a search but couldn't find how to make a spearhead for SCA heavy fighting in the East. This has been mentioned numerous times, but, alas, I can't come up with the post.

Lucian Ro

I bought a pair of the taller type right before Pennsic and placed a nice, thick insole in them. Spent all of Pennsic walking around in them -- no complaints whatsoever. ------------------ In Honor and Service, Lucien Ro / Scott Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality.

Lucian Ro

Hi folks. I'm 90% done with my new armour, the only thing left is a gorget -- and I want to make it out of 14-ounce vegtan. Anyone recommend a pattern? Also, I remember someone mentioning that they water-formed one of their leather gorgets. How so? Thanks! ------------------ In Honor and Service, Lu...

Lucian Ro

Okay, I have a stupid, stupid question that I never actually thought of, but after reading this thread it came to me -- in the SCA, can a King knight a person simply on his own whims, without the approval of the standing knights and chivalry? Sorry to derail the thread -- back to your regularly sche...

Lucian Ro

Definitely talk to Joe at Minamoto if you're interested in custom work. Granted, I'm biased as he just finished a set of pauldrons and 3-piece elbows for me -- and they're excellent -- but regardless, he's great to work with. The items had splendid mobility, great articulation. Not to mention, he ex...

Lucian Ro

Hi, folks. I'm looking for an MERP [Middle Earth Role Playing] stuff that people might have to sell. I know Janos had a lot but I fear it's gone. No minatures, mind you, simply books. 1st or 2nd addition, it doesn't matter. Anyhoo, it's one of those games that I simply adored growing up and would lo...

Lucian Ro

I have a friend looking for one too, keep us posted.

Splendid work, as always, well done! I've dealt with Chris on two occasions and he is one of the best armourers I've worked with; on a merchandise level and on an informative level. His products always exceed my expectations and he constantly updates you on the progress and/or the time frames expect...

Well, I was unable to fight this year, but I still had a blast. My favorite memory was waking up after my first night there, having been to my first Pennsic party [at Vlads pleasure Pavillon, lol!] and realizing, "Self, you still have another SEVEN days of this!". The looks mundanes give in a Wal-Ma...

I hate that even though I've known about the SCA for 5 years, I was only able to start attending events two years ago. I hate that my sporadic availability to go to events causes me to lose touch with the new friends I make at the events that I am lucky enough to attend. I hate that I'm so incredibl...

Lucian Ro

I like the feeling of acceptance the SCA breeds. Sure, some nitpick and some bitch, but in general the acceptance is much higher in this arena than in most others. I like Pennsic -- seeing the menagerie of all types. The sense of camaraderie, that all of these persons are here because of a relativel...

Lucian Ro

Jurgen, if I wasn't completely in love/lust/whatever with the stainless spangen that Otto made me I'd be bidding on your 7th century spangen, trust me!
I hate to be redundant but -- excellent work.

Brodir, I'd be interested in the patterns also. Can you contact me about them?

Okay, maybe I'm missing it, but wasn't there supposed to be a site here on the AA for leather patterns?
If that's not the case, does anyone have an good sites to go to?
