that's pretty sweet! hmm, I may have to jump on that, but I'm looking more for a corazzina atm.  I need to take a break from my business, I see "bp" and I immediately start thinking "how do you 'segmen' black powder?! is it a hybrid smokeless/BP blend?"  ... yeah, I need help

thanks for the head's up on this Sir Wolf

Saw that; but i just picked up a coat of plates not too long ago, not to mention a number of plate bits that Allan was so good to make for me...otherwise I might've picked it up just for the hell of it.

New armor, and you didn't post pics?

Need I say it?

Really?

Knew there was a reason I didn't mention it.  I'll snap some tonight w/wifey's new camera.  I'm getting confused now...trying to put together two kits but I'm not all that happy w/one of them.  Need more armor.

Yeah.. reading all of Sir William's plight, I'm sorry to say I'm in a similar boat with my "Spanish" kit.  Oh wait, y'all actually know history, so yeah, my Knight of Calatrava of the 16th Century during the unification of Spain ;)

I'm trying to decide either that early, like El Cid early, or Phillip the II's rule, before the FUBAR with the Armada, during the time he was married to Mary I.  I LOVE the bourgonet, and it's such a great helmet to fight in... I'm so lost and confused... here I was so happy with my chain-gang Crusader... and now I'm looking at this!

Mad Matt over on AA had made a couple of B/W suits like your last image posted, Patricius...to my untrained eye, it looked as if he nailed it.  Except for the cod piece, I don't recall seeing that.  Love the soft kit...pure awesome sauce.
