Sir Wolf:
what year is everyone shooting for in the late 13th/early 14th century? haveing that time frame i'll build a new kit to historic standards when i get home ;)
as for pics ummmm ummmmm.
i've made mostly spangenhelmets. i've done a few pieces here and there or arms, legs, spaulders. and a bunch of fixes for other people. but i would ahve to say the thing i've made the most is spangenhelms... made i think 6 of them. have 2 in my shop that were started but not finished too. (ultuna and another swedish helm)
i'm at the beach this week so sorry i'm so slow to catch up on conversations etc. :)

Sir Edward:
Well, as long as we're not expecting to all be from exactly the same year/decade, we can be pretty flexible. I've been aiming for around 1280-1320, roughly.
Sir Wolf:
thanks thats a good start for me. :) i'll be working on something here shortly
Sir Wolf:
ok here goes:
sugarloaf helm
coif (padded and mail)
gambeson
long hauberk with intigraded mittens
ailettes
coat of plates
jupon/surcoat
chausis (padded and mail)
soupcan knees
shield
sword
ok i need the helm, ailettes, mail chausis and the shield.
any help with making the chausis Ed? for the long sleeves i plan to wear my 3/4 shirt and just make something from butted ring from the elbow to the mittens and tie it in place since i don't have any riveted rings handy.
the shield and the ailettes i can make and theres a few sugarloafs for cheap on ebay right now.
i have the coat of plates sewn, just need to cut out and shape the plates for it and rivet it all together. hmmmmmm now i need a new jupon/surcoat.... and a coat of arms.... hmmmm
