Tim,
I really like that harness you've got. Especially the aged finish....I might try to blacken or blue mine like that . Gives it a "lived in" look. Very convincing. That sword of yours is a beast too..nice choice on the cross guard. Though, them giant Zweihanders are a bit too big for 5' 10 guy like me ;) I'd hate to have to face you in a battle when you're wielding that one :eek: I'd probably soil my armor.

ok here´s my end of 14.cent. outfit, the photos from me and my group were shot shot at Schloss Egg, near Deggendorf, Bavarian Forest

I am going to try and send a picture of Chris ,Ian and myself with the visors lowered ... Gives a great look !
I am trying to put together a migration era ensemble ... Ian and I made a aged sheild and we are in the middle of renovating a Valentine Armoury helm - Nasal , cheekpieces and mail aventail(neckflap)
With the Blackened mail hauberk I think it will work ...
I have really enjoyed looking at the different kits folks have put together ...

So you get to go to Ren Faires with Mr. Poor? You are one lucky dog then Tim. The second picture of the 3 of you with the visors lowered is great as well.


James,
Those are all great looking kits you have there.


Steve,
That is a great looking kit. Could we get close up pictures of the spear and blade on your belt by chance?


Peter,
That is a great harness you have and your group looks great as well.


Great jod on all the kits so far.

Scott

For pics of lance an javelin i beg for patience to the coming weekend, for the sword:

http://archaeoforum.freehost.ag/Userbilder/st...mplett.jpg
http://archaeoforum.freehost.ag/Userbilder/st...ezogen.jpg

Blade of Bronze (made by Neil Burridge, Cornwall), hiltplates and pommel bowl of (oiled) horn, pommelplate of antler. The scabbard is of pinewood, glued with hideglue (also the pommel bowl) and wrapped with linnen yarn, soaked with hideglue. Chape of Bronze after a find in Bavaria. Balteus is of braided cowleather.

Andreas , I saw your pictures earlier in the thread (your armor is quite impressive) but I only just noticed your avatar picture with the visor down, that is a fearsome lookin Sallet helm. I've got one coming from GDFB and I hope the visor extends as far down the chin as yours does. My pauldrons have haute pieces on them, and while I really like them they really dictate which helms I can wear. Im not sure if they will agree with a bevor or not so I hope my helm comes to the tip of my chin like yours and not up around the mouth area. Do you mind if I ask who made yours and what thickess it is (1.5 mm, 2mm)?

Cheers
Jeff

here another one of the sallet...
[ Linked Image ]

its 1.6mm made by http://www.kovex-ars.cz/ here in Europe ... for infantryuse a bevor is to uncomfortable...you just have to know how to defend your throat... :-)

i got new Shoulders, as soon as i got pictures, i post them here.


great kits everyone...i love to look at your pictures...

Andreas

This is my kit so far. The chainmail shirt is 3/8, 14 gauge aluminum, (handcoiled, cut and woven by me).

Same thing with the coif, though it has brass edging with some rings that I had laying around.

Steel spaulders with a brass edge.

Norman helmet with a chin strap that I added to it.

Hanwei's Edward the III sword with matching scabbard. (I thought it would match my outfit and add a little more "English" to the whole thing.)

Home-sewn tabard. I can't remember what fabric it's made out of. Rather heavy-duty, stiffer fabric. I like it.

Last but certainly not least, my kite-shield. I almost finished it yesterday, all that's needed is to edge it.

Sorry for the really dark pics. It was late at night when these were taken.

Please let me know what you think.

Chad:

I actually was going for more of a early 14th century, transitional look. I'm saving for a new hounskull helmet (for the 14th C), but for now, this is all I've got.

I realize that there are a lot of inaccuracies with my kit, but I use what I've got until I get something better, right?

I might make myself a curved heater shield at some point, but I just liked the look of the kite too much right now.

I figure it's alright for going to Renn Fairs.

Thanks for the suggestion, though, I may just save up for a new sword too! *starts collecting discarded pennies off the sidewalk*
