The Armour Archive

Hey Everyone,

I've been lurking for a while and have made a few pieces of armour a while back. But I have recently graduated from college and found a job in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and went to my first Baronial Armouring session. I got quite a bit done on my helmet, which I cut out about 2 years ago. It is a spangenhelm, which I am going to use to get out on the field and practice my armouring. I hope to raise that lobster tail sallet someday!

It went well, but my finger told me that my aim is a bit off. I'll see if I can't borrow my brothers digital camera and post some pictures (of the armour... not the finger).

Can anyone suggest a good gorget pattern, as that is what I am planning on working on next? I have two gothic styled spaulders made with leather articulation that I wish to point to the gorget.

Thanks!

Andreas

A google search will show lots of pics if you click on images.

Best of luck and be sure to share pics with us.

Hi Andreas,
Did I meet you at armouring?

Ask Fredric, between he and I, we have at least 3 or 4 gorget patterns.
