These pictures from the Ortenburg event in Germany have literally and completely changed my outlook on armour and my persona and my attempts at recreation.
No shit.
I want to be this guy in 20 years.

Lordy, that one might give that pic of Leo Medii a run for its money.

I hope this picture fits the bill. I happened to get this pic as he was walking off the field. Sir Rodrigo was looking like he meant business in the picture, but really he was stepping off the war field seeking water.

Man, he really wanted that water!

Finally a picture of me I thought was cool enough to throw into this thread.

I'm new or will be new to fighting as Highland War in Caid will be my first time fighting. I must say this thread is awesome and it's even more inspiring to see pics from all over the known world!

To add to the thread here are a few pics i've taken over the past year or so....
Caid's current general of the army Sir Augustine von Freiburg

Here's one from the WoH tourney that I'm vain enough to think might be inspirational to those who may swing towards early period...

Yep, that was my old harness (of which the helm, greaves, and gauntlets and breastplate are gone, and my squire has the leg harness).
I wanted to go with a more mid-14th C look, so I look like this now-

and for my sport harness-

Thanks so much for the kind words. They mean WAY more than being faster, better, uber at fighting to me.

Mail. It's whats for dinner.

As a corollary, you don't have to be doing this sport for a decade to look good. I'm 21. I can provide some pics of other young-ish fighters working towards high fidelity kits.

Yeah, I screwed that up. I think I was able to (kinda) fix it and update the image.

In the meantime, something I've long wanted to do:

If I can find an appropriate background, I'll do the three early period Scando-Russifish guys on the top of page five.

Yes boys n' girls ... you too can go from being an overly duct taped, basket hilted axe-wielding, 'japo-scottish', pavise luggin', Pennsic goon ...

This has to belong here, even though its not SCA:

Luke Binks and Toby Capwell at the Tournament of the Phoenix 2009.

It makes me happy just seeing the pictures.

zachos · Post by **zachos** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:03 pm

Luke Binks is a full time armourer and jouster who works in California. Toby Capwell is the Curator of arms and armour at the Wallace collection London. If you want more information about where that photo is from look up

The World joust Website

Maybe if I rave about it enough they'll get me a plane ticket to next years event...
