Plaque Belt
Thorsteinn:
Nice pic!

Sir Ian, perhaps you could answer a question I've always wondered about those trapezoid belt mounts: how "solid" are they? The belt looks absolutely stunning, and sure does nail the historical look. It does sort of remind me of those deep sea diving belts with all the weights on them though, is it as heavy as it looks?
I've always wanted one of those hip belts with the big round mounts. My favorite one is on the brass of John Cray Esquire at St Andrew's church in Oxfordshire. I also like that brass because it clearly shows integral hinges on his plate cuisse, something not normally done on leg armor. And I also like his spurs... that man had style.

If I remember right, the Chartres cuisses have integral hinges. Either the vambrace, or cuisse, or both.
Sir Douglas:
I don't mean to derail the thread, but Scott: that is a really nice-looking kit you have there!

Thanks!
I had all of the hinges on my 1390's harness made like that. One of the personal touches I incorporated while keeping it historical. You can see more pictures of my harness over at my website gallery.
