2012...Show us your kits

[Kilian_the_warlike]

My latest barbarian manifestation and/or 'terror in the park'.

Easy to put on, fun to fight in, real fur n leather...

I used to work at GWAR's slave pit in Richmond, if you ever need any pointers.

From the 30 ... this is pretty much my melee kit as well but swapping out the helm to Cervelliere ... oh and the helm lining is tubed linen and tight packed horse hair which works pretty damn well. Just an FYI ...

[Cedric Adolphus]

Needs more mudflap chicks.

Excellent kit, Iain. Do you have any real steel weaponry to pose with? I'm sure you could get some great photos out in nature that would look very good even for living history.

ok, so i haven't really changed my heavy fighting kit up all that much this year, but i am starting in on a new fencing kit that i'm pretty excited about. So far all i have done is my mask but i am trying to bust out this project asap so i can rock the field as a fencing plague Dr.
enjoy.

[Sasha_Khan]

Varukh:

THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!

[Varukh]

thank you. I just finished it up tonight.
now i have to get the robes, hosen, and fencing legal garments made. I have wanted to do a functional "fighting" plague dr kit ever since i first set foot in the SCA.

[Ken Mondschein]

*sigh* I see I need to pwn this thread again.

[Swete]

Very nice, the both of you. And damn you to bits for having awesome kits (that I cannot steal with good conscience)

[Effingham]

<whimper>

[MJBlazek]

Ken, what are the time periods on those kits in your pictures?

[Ken Mondschein]

c. 1390–1415. A little earlier for the just-the-breastplate (say, 1370s-80s).

[MJBlazek]

Thank you. Your Kit was exactly what I was looking for I hope to soon give you a run for your money on the thread pwning

[Ottawa Swordplay]

Ken, your kit is nice and all, but I'm pretty sure that the beak on your plague doctor mask should be leather.

I act enough like Gonzo from the Muppet Show already.

/alternative comment: I come by the Jew-nose honestly!

Varukh, that plague doctor idea is utterly, completely and totally awesome, covered in awesomesauce, sprinkled with vampire glitter and scented with bacon.

Leo and Ken look awesome, too, but DAMN. Plague doctor.

DAMN.

I think this is an absolutely utterly and totally brilliant solution to the 'hood/mask problem' which is one of the big detractors from the look of rapier on the field. I salute you!

Saying Jesus name in vain!? Inferring evolution in the same sentence! A scoffer!? Pffffttt!!!

A bunch of steel on the field is cool... but then comes rushing in a big furry beast!!! OH YAH!!!

My 2012 kit... taken at a demo our canton did at the Peterborough Folk Festival, 26 Aug 2012.

Building a set of proper hourglass gauntlets is on the agenda for this autumn.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to take it from you by force! Who is with me?



Doing a Pas D'armes with the Most Noble and Generous Nik Doran, now a valued member of The Honourable and Most Chivalrous Company of Saint Michael and Saint James.


The complete gentleman Graham Turner lent me his jousting helm while mine is being made. All ready to joust.


And in action, I believe double break against Sir James de Kingsley.


There! Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
