I always love to look at photos of everyone else's armor. Anyone care to join me in posting some pictures of kits?

I've already started to discuss my late 13th C kit in another thread, but here are a few shots:

Me in the middle!

Anders Nilsson who is a member of this forum on the left! (He is the owner of the cuisse and Helmet in the picture... I have another cuisse now and a kapalin helmet on it´s way.)

Those are some great pictures Ed. Thank you for posting them. Hopefully one day I will be able to add my own kit to this.

In the last picture without the helmet what sword is that? It does not look like your new Albion to me as the scabbard appears brown to me.

So who else will post pictures of your kit and or harness? I have seen in various threads what some of the people here have but it would be great to get them all together in one thread as a resource for all both to admire and get ideas for our own kits with.

You are most welcome Martin.

All three of you look good as I mentioned earlier. So I take it the two 7th C. are early Vikings and you are portraying a Man-at-Arms? Or am I totally wrong in my guesses as I was with my previous guess as to the time period?

Here is one of my 15th century kit...

I'm almost to embarrassed to post this, but, as I had already taken this pic last weekend for a "your hobby in one photo" project (school), here is my "kit".

Its all I have at the moment, and, though a really nice dogu, I know it's not what you're expecting. I have been looking for an inexpensive accurate yoroi, but aside from hanwei armor (I kind of like the "dragon" armor in particular), the price just is too much for now. For me, this armor gets more use than a real suit would anyway. I doubt it would fly if i came to the dojo in full battle dress. :eek:
lol. Its all about having fun with our hobbies though, right?

Wow, where to start. All the kits look great.

Josh,
That is a nice looking harness. I like the action picture with the spear!

Gordon,
The kit looks good.

Alex,
As long as you are enjoying yourself and are happy then do it. I think it looks good.

Chuck and Chris,
Do either of you want to adopt a 38 year old so I can play with some of your cool stuff? :eek:

To all,
Thank you for posting and keep them coming. I hope to be able to add my own eventually. Even if it is bits and pieces as I can get them.

Here I am in my Landsknecht rig ... I have sice added a riveted mail hauberk for underneath the breast/back plates and shoulders arms etc.

Let me try this again... This my Daughter at MN Renn Faire last year.

OH ! Cool!

I really like the dirty scruffy mercenary look!

Thanks very much for your Kudos ... I have a couple other pictures of Chris, Ian and myself at Faire with the three of us in Armor ... I will see if I can get their permission to post them ... I think I have it figured out now ...
I have really enjoyed looking at the other Harnesses on this site ... I am working on a Migration era Helm - Ian and I completed a aged Sheild from the period and with the blackened mail hauberk that will be another option ...
I have tyo say it is really wonderful to have access to this site and all of the knowledge and common interest herein ...
