New helm and hammer

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sir Edward:

Very cool. :)

Know any good deals on padded jacks?

Sir Wolf:
hehe good deals and padded jacks do not come in the same sentence. ;)  that being said the spangen style kettle would be outdated somewhat for a 15thc jack and jack chains. the kettles are more 1 piece or 1 piece looking tops with large brims.

now your kettle would be awesome say 13thc... with a nice coat of plates over a surcoat over mail then over a gambeson. coif with the mantle under the surcoat. maybe soupcan knees and elbows with splinted greaves and vambracers. i have so been wanting to make that kit.


that being said : http://www.matuls.pl/index.php?Lng=1  or jsut http://www.matuls.pl/ is a really good place.  :)

Sir Edward:

Cool, that would make a great kit indeed! I've been wanting a coat of plates anyway for my other 13th/14th kit. And this would give me an excuse to get some splinted armor. :)

Sir Wolf:
oh yeah! awsome.

how is the wood on that axe handle? i know a friend of mine had a windlass and he hit a shield just goofing around and the shaft snapped! of course we made fun of him hehehe

That seems to be the norm for Windlass hafts, unfortunately. I haven't seen anything recent to make me change that opinion. Still, the head on Ed's warhammer is surprisingly nice when seen up close.
