Title: Rerambrace?
Post by: Sir Patrick on 2013-09-18, 17:44:26
Can get away with adding a floating rerambrace to the arm set up inmy avatar?  Added a couple close ups of the vambrace and cop

You could probably add a rerebrace there, yes. The spaulders and vambraces are already putting you into the mid-14th, and a rerebrace would be common here as well.

I've only seen floaters with german style armor, but it's also a time period that I'm not specifically focused on, so it's possible. I usually see the half rerebrace as attached with an articulated arm assembly that points at the top of the rerebrace.

Allan could probably make you one from the pattern for his regular 14th century arms? Then point it at the top, and strap around the bicep? Possibly pointed at top and bottom? The german style points at the top, and also points to the floating elbow cop.

Hmm depends. Look heavily at effigies and bring forth your findings lol. Ive seen some but they look one piece that go under a spaulder cap and under the couter.  Personally i like the couter over the 3/4 sleeved maile while the vambracer is under the maile

This seems to have been a fashion most popular in Italy where it appears most frequently in period artwork ( painted and even more sculptural ).

I actually used to do them both with and without rondels but never sold many.
