Hi.

Do any of you know where I can find information on "how-to" do etcing on armour parts and differenses on the etching depending on time periods and geographic areas?

Thanks,

- Marcus

It didn't happen before about the 15th C. Look up Tim McCreight's The Complete Metalsmith.

AHA! Yet another reason to visit you again!!

The helmet works perfectly, just the right lenght on the neck as well as the cheek plates!! ANd yes, Sig got a bit jealous, although he will never admit it.
Only thing to do now is to get going on the etching and fill it with pictures.. ;-)
