Here's my early 14th century Teutonic Ritterbruder kit. (also that beautiful helm there is the special project I've been mentioning here and there over the forums)
Enjoy!

The embroidery on the mantle is just spectacular.  It really makes the look go from an A to an A+.  It really is all in the details.  Excellent kit Sir Nathan!

It's ok Sir Wolf, I'll let you present your joke to all the other cool kids  ;)

And Thanks Sir Ian, everything came together very nicely on this one, I'm glad to be counted in the A+ rank from a guy with a Jeff Wasson harness!  :)

That is a great looking kit Sir Nathan.  It truly does appear to be really in the details like Sir Ian has said.  Every kit I've looked at for inspiration, it always turns out to be the little details like Rosary beads hanging from a simple belt, trim on the coif's face flap, haircut, and embroidery really give it the extra touch

Thank you Mr Patricius, it's always the little things. Can't emphasize details enough, really.  :)

Thank you Sir Brian! Yes, not bad for DIY work! And BJ's mantle and torse are simply works of art. Just perfect.
