Chuck, this harness was discussed in great deal somewhere around page 32 in this thread. Read back a bit. I just brought it up again because the cover of that book is from this very photo shoot, which I thought was cool.

my bad, i remember it now that you said something. :)

GDFB kettle and bevor

self made arms, coat of plates and soft armour.

I recently got some upgrades. A cuirass and a pair of pauldrons. We did a shoot today so I could see how it looks and I wanted to share it. I'm very happy with it!

Looks good Ben, i especially like the pauldrons.
Dave Hewitt made them?

No, Vickers made the cuirass and pauldrons, Stanislav Prosek did the legs, gauntlets are White Rose, sallet Albert Collins and the arms are by Jeff Hedgecock.

@Ben: I love the Armour. Perfect Example for the italien Export style. Tottally different from what was used here in Germany.

Best regards

Andrej

phuu. spend half of the night with two bottles of beer and this thread. ;)
there are really amazing kits out there and i want to congratulate everyone who undertakes the financial and temporal burden, such a venture brings. (i feel like i should get my ass up now and get a kit of my own finally).

John H`s kit is splendid and rightly got on the cover of the book, its a pity there are so few 16th cent. armours out there.
btw. the author of the book reads as james wallhausen. hm. is this maybe THE wallhausen (sorry, he`s only in german and italian wiki) ?

hi, guys this is the first armor piece i have made, it is an Islamic plated mail style. there's a lot of flaws with it (the rings are too large, the sleeves are hanging the wrong way ), but i'm working on a new one that will look much more accurate to the historical pieces

thanks Sam, and i'll make sure to post pics of the one i'm working on now when its finished, but i'm almost done with the helmet, just need to make the aventail.

Hi everyone, this is not my first post but I would like to introduce myself in here, again. I have been following this forum since june '11 from Turkey. In my opinion there are so many great guys in here and your work truly inspires mine..

Today, what I want to share with you is the first glimpse of my first project, late 12th century Norman Knight. Before your comments I would like to apologize for the photoshop effects (the lightning is very bad where I take the shots), irrelevant fur covered cloak :) and inaccurate fantasy sword. Also whole body part of the mail armour is nearly finished but I did not attach to coif part, due to difficulty of working assembled as a whole. Anyway I talked too much, any of your comments are greatly appreciated. Enjoy the photos.

Well, the first quesion which comes into my mind, is: why the heck do you have a sheep on your shoulders? ;)
Honestly, I really think you still have some work to do before you are recognizable (concerning the sources) as a "norman" arround 1200. Which, in this case, is simply a frenchman.
What sources have you been looking at up to now?
