my current armour - based on various 1490-1510 styles - first I wanted to purchase classical high gothic, but then swithched to more round forms of shott-hellingen style. Helmet is kinda fantastic for early 1500's, it is only seen at pictures and only after 1515's this current style came to be, so to be more acurate in dates, I'll buy some Duerer-like sheller for next year.

Interested in your opinion, and yes, there will be chainmail in all the plases possible. =)

Wow!!! All are incredible. :surprised: Formerly showed my XII century Kit, now show my others Kits.

This is my VII Century Longobard or Lombard warrior kit, each piece of the armour and clothing is manufactured myself. My clothing is a cotes, trouser, VIII shoes, leggings, and a wool hat, my armour is a gambeson vest, leather bracers, a leather spangenhelm batajnica and coat of mail, the rings diameter of my coat of mail is 9 millimeter in iron wire (caliber 14). My sword is a Migration era sword.

Greetings from New Spain

Something different from me. This isn't particulary authentic. It is the start of an armour and horse armour for a new horse show we are doing.

I made the bow case, quiver and a lot of the belt from scratch. My armour and the horse armour will be made from leather to match the bow case. I have 4 full sets of this to make with different colours and decoration for our show.

Wow, Luis, that is most impressive, especially considering your apparent youth. Your sewing looks really good. Good choice of fabrics too. Keep up the good work!

Vadim, nice kit all round, but I LOVE the sword you are using, where is it from?

Indeed! I would like to know too. Also, how long is that blade?

By the way, here is another picture of it:

Great kit, one of the best mid 14th century kits i have seen!

thank you , there is three years of work on it. I have made some parts myself to be more close to archeological pieces. And all the armour parts are specificly designed for my kit , none parts are buy on the armour market on internet.all are designed by armourer on archeological finds or manuscript or effigies.

Great kit! I really like the roundels at the shoulders and elbows. I am going to incorporate very similar ones with a star instead of a flower. Another example of how long research really makes a differance. Would you mind to share some more detailed pictures of your weapons and shield and some of your references.

Hey Julian ! Shoulders and elbow roundels are copied from Jhon Blanchefront effigie in Church of St Lawrence , Alvechurch, Worcestershire dated to 1350.
I Unfortunately have now more pictures from shield . Only from my baselard,that I make myself. Sword is created by a telented french sword maker : Gael Fabre. The falchion on second picture is not mine.

the shield design is inspired by a picture of "le roman de la rose" a french manuscript (1350) by Guillaume de Lorris

Here is my first attemt on creating a late 14th century armour, a project from my last year of high school. :)

Not bad at all.
Did you make the armour yourself?

Yes! I made it in the weekends when I had access to a forge. The materials for the plates and sword is obtained on a scrapyard (sword blade is forged from a rail rake rod) and the maille is made out of fence wire.

A very impressive first project. I really like the skirt of scales though the plate must have been a much greater challenge. There is simply too little hip defence arround in 14th century armour recreation and Maille of fence wire is a nice idea as well.

Hello everyone :)

Here I am at the most actual version.
I am still waiting for breastplate and targoni -> oval shield for italian infantry.
I know now it is a little bit of Mordor :P

Regards,
Mike from Poland
