15th century harness project

(1/3) > >>

Dragonlover:








 I drilled the holes around the opening of the sabatons so that I'll be able to pad the lip,
then lace leather around it. Hopefully, this will keep the edge from eating my boots, or
poignards, whichever I decide to use.

 The second pic shows where I perforated the lower half of the bevor. Be a little cooler,
plus give me a little more visibility.....

The spikes on pic 3 are actually bolts holding the bevor plate to the front of the cuirass.
When the harness first arrived, they were actually fitted with wing-nuts. No kidding, ask
Sir Brian.....sportbike aftermarket dealer took care of that......

  All the straps supplied had to be taken off and replaced since they didnt include any strap
keepers in the assembly....major pain in the ass!!!

 Enjoy everybody!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Sir Brian:
Excellent Excellent work my man! It looks great! Love the spike-bolts! Very cool touch!
Looks like you'll have it ready for the NCRF at the end of March! You did a lot great work
here Sir. Can't wait to see it in person!

Sir Edward:
Excellent! Man, NCRF won't know what hit them. I don't think they're used to having a lot of armored knights walking around. Actually, now that the Fiat Lux folks are there, they probably are, but you still don't see gothic harnesses walking around very often... at any faire. You'll knock their socks off! :)

Dragonlover:
That's the idea! Lol! Actually, I've been there in my 15th cent. rig from Icefalcon
several times. Always gets kudos. have to remember not to startle the little ones
though. I can already hear the "vader" score in the background....... ;)
I hope it'll be ready by NCRF.......

Dragonlover:
think "poulaines" (shoes) was the word I was looking for..... :D
