The Armour Archive

Thats right. I'm making this my personal one.
You know, large areas of good old plate.
The arm harnesses will be based on the one found at Chalsis (1470). Can be seen in "The Armourer and His Craft". Plate IX.
The rest will be typical Italian with large
pauldrons and "ooh yeh" lots of shiny plate.
I will try to post pics as it comes along, since I finally found somebody to host them.
I might throw in a touch of Churburg too.
I am very tired of putting in ridges on Gothic stuff, so I've decided on this.
I do like Italian better anyway. No, not their food.
Just thought I would run this by everybody and maybe I could aquire any suggestions that
may be had. This will be my new personal harness, so throw any suggestions my way.
