The Armour Archive

As some of you know, I'm attempting to get together two suits of loaner armour together for several folks who have shown interest in fighting where I live.

I'm trying to get together a size small/medium suit and a med/large suit... prefferably adjustable, so that between to the two, I can outfit several different sized fighters...

So, anyways... this is a progress check two weeks into the effort.

Suit #1:

Gauntlets (anonymous doner)

Coat of Plates Kit (Warclub) (I will assemble on canvas with copper rivits)

Spaulders 1/2 complete (me)

Shield 1/2 complete (me)

Plastic Cuisses (warclub)


Suit #2:

Gauntlets (anonymous doner)

Plastic Churburg Breastplate Kit (Ironmonger) (I will attach to canvas with copper rivits)

Gorget (me)

* * *

And here's the blatant cry for more... If you have any old stuff laying around you think I could re-furbish, what is junk to you, is a building block for me...

About the only thing I can't make are helms... and I think between the four-five folks interested, they could pool together for something cheap if all else fails.

If anything, Hawkwood will have some loaner gear this summer if Darryl doesn't show up for practice...

Thanks so much for everything everybody has sent so far... Its greatly appreciated.
