So would I! ;)
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I love that picture. Some nice photoshopping there. :) As for armor, mother's day is around the corner. I've seen you dropping the hints before, so I know you're good at it. :)
Das Bill:
Pamela, you are now required to start putting together that harness. :)
Let's see... the GDFB legs would work for that, and tons of armourers make those types of arms. The most expensive parts would be the mail and the velvet covered cuirass... We'll have to start searching for you. ;)
Sword Chick:
Ed and Bill,
You certainly know how to tempt a lady. ;)

So I was thinking about it, and not that I'm trying to talk you in to anything *cough, cough*, but with a little bit of craftsmanship, you could totally pull off a transitional harness with cuirboulli leather parts.
Steel legs could come from here:

Christian owns a pair of the above, and he's very impressed with them for the price.
Then you could get a set of steel elbows from here:

After that, you'd can make the leather rerebrace and vambrace (the forearms and triceps). You could also probably do a globose styled breast plate without a back in leather. Stick those over your gambeson, and you're on your way to a complete late 14th century harness. You'd still need a helmet and spaulders, but those could come later. Gauntlets would be optional.
Just sayin'. :)
(Oh, and I have the perfect book that you might want to borrow... you know, just in case you think about doing this...)
