Thanks! c:

We plan to take it out to the car when it gets too heavy, and I won't wear it for the rest of the time. ;D You're right about it being much heavier on the arm than it is on the head, though. :'P

Yeh, Picard also Rocks! Plus, he fences (staying sort of ON-topic)! :lol:

Hahah Thanks, though I feel that it loses mostly all of its intimidation factor when I'm in it. :lol:

You beat me to that comment Keith: I see it is not just me that finds something alluring about a woman in armor or with edged weapons.

Very Hot Margot. I like the Coif better than the helmet. And now your boyfriend discovers the universal solution to an arms race as we count the replies per day to your lovely little post, :) cheers

Norman Med Faire is where I got my start jousting and performing at Ren Faires...great memories.

Oh neat!
Did you get stopped by a million people to take pictures with you, too? ._.
That's like... the only downside. Haha It's still really fun, though.

"is it hot" "hey can you feel this (BLAM)" etc etc hehehe

kit looks good

You guys think it's bad at a fenn fair? Try a high school!
I once wore my cuirass to school, just for fun, :lol: (let's see the dress regulations come up with something against that!)
And literally every single class I walked into, Half of the male population would drop whatever they were doing (like talking to their girlfriend as an example) and promptly take a full power punch right into the breastplate. The other half would find something to hit me with, seeing that their buddy just broke his hand on 16gauge of merctailor. (the nurse was swamped with hand injuries that day).
It was ridiculous. The local dojo group started doing flying kicks into it! No exaggeration!

I don't honestly think that those people realized that it's meant to protect against edges and points, not shoes, fists, and rulers. But thanks to the fact that im built quite similar to a tank, it didn't do much, and made us armour guys look really good! :lol: ;) :cool:

and another note, the women still love the armour.! :cool:

So? Margot? Did you make the headband?

Would you post a picture of yourself in full armor with the headband?

Have you thought about a sword rather than the war hammer?

This is terrific Margot. You manage to make armor look fashionable. I'm going to show this to my wife.

I agree about the helmet - not only is it disproporitionate, but on the positive side, without it you look great and the shock of seeing a pretty face in armor instead of the usual bearded mug will get a lot of attention.
