Another coat of plates request...

[Brodir]

Anyone interested in making one of these in 18 gauge galvanized?

I would need it by June, willing to pay cash or trade for my lamellar corselet. Let me know, thanks.

Hey Brodir, if you are going to go with galvanized why don't you pull the trigger and just have it made out of stainless. The edges of the galvanized are going to rust anyway and you won't get any ruboff from the galvanized coating on whatever is underneath.

Wow, you are really dropping your Viking personna like a live hand grenade!

I am keeping my maille shirt, my helmet I bought from you, my non-SCA viking shield, my shoes, and all my wool and linen tunics. I will still do a Norse portrayal if I ever travel to a Regia US or NVG-US event, or to the Hastings re-enactment. But for SCA purposes, which is 99.9% of what I do, 14th century seems to make the most sense.

Well I don't think I've got time to make it.

I could however do all the plates for you quickly.

That would be cut, curved, deburred and holes punched.

No galvy.

I'd trade your lamellar but that wouldn't be fair.

Anyway if you're interested in just the plates drop me an e-mail and we'll talk about it.
