It makes me happy just seeing the pictures.
Oh, man. I really want this in higher resolution.

You could try contacting the poster and asking for a higher res copy.

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.

1/3 on the scale (lacks ninja armour), but if this doesn't inspire, something is wrong.

As a new SCAdian (two fighter practices under my belt, some armor built), this thread is the ballin'-est.

I desperately want to see more pics of that awesome kit.

Pictures like that one are what made me interested in history to begin with.
Thanks, my kit is still evolving, I don't think its there yet. I have taken some liberitis with accuracy, particularly in the coat of plates which is a mixture of 3 extant styles but from memory closest to the Wisby 27.

I have some maille coming from Ice falcon and I am working on replacing my aventail with a rivetted one.

Generally, when people ask me about the SCA, I show them this thread. Without the pictures, friends/family think of a D&D style larp. With the pictures, they think "F***ing badass"

HG Cedric asked me to take care of Wrenn and him at Gulf Wars. So I'll be feeding TRM and any entourage they bring. Ceddie assures me they are great people. I'm sure that is so because if Ceddie likes him, he has to be good.

If BA were to edit the first post, un-check add sig it should pick up something else as the snippet.

Sadly, that didn't do the trick. I'm not sure why. Your signature line is definitely edited out of it. Oh, well. Luckily, I found another way around it... Sha-ul, if you're posting the link on Facebook, you can click the text that is displayed and erase/edit it to your liking. Just figured that out myself. :D
