:) so this weekend a friend gave me a set of soup can knees. i have to cut the extra wing off the side used for sca combat and then I'll take a picture. they fit nicely over the leather circles on my padded cuisses from GDFB. they will need to be sanded and strapped too. hehehe now i can enter the 1300s!!

here they are. i need to file the edges where i cut the wing off, shape the edge just a tad, sand the rust off, and attach strapping.  a lot of work but they were free :)
