Help on Gothic Harness!

<< < (21/24) > >>

Sir Edward:
Yep, a man-at-arms is the same thing, just without the knight title (or with it, it can be an inclusive term).

Sir William:
If he posts all those pics just a few more times, I think Sir Edward will have to start paying additional fees for the extra space.  lol

Joshua Santana:
Then I will cease and decease on posting pics, and just post links to the individual pieces.  That should be more fun!

Joshua Santana:
Now let's try this again, shall we?

Point Summary:  I will go for Wasson all the way but it depends on my personal budget.  If trhe quote price from Wasson doesn't fit into my budget.  I will then resort to a Maximilian Style Full Harness or Full Kit from either Merc Tailor's or from Patrick Thaden.  As you can see, I have a back up plan (keep in mind this is only for future reference).

16th Century Full Harness Prototype (Maximilian Style)

(Suit based on variant elements of German Armour, Maximilian Style.  Along with the 16th Century Close Helm.)

(an example for reference, early 16th Century Close Helm is just an idea for Full Kit)

Concept idea came from Stephan Fick's Harness showing here:

(Only with either a Armet Helmet or Close Helmet instead of a Burgonet)

What I am trying to get to is the conceptual idea of 16th Century Style Kits that resemble these

Here is an essay on MyArmory.com that talks about the 16th century Style Harnesses

I hope this helps everyone in terms of my back up plan and what is based on what.  But keep in mind that this is just a plan in case that the Wasson Quote doesn't meet up with my budget.  I will let you all know when that happens.

Cheers!

If the pics are hotlinked to the other site (versus attachments), it doesn't cost Sir Edward anything for bandwidth, as it's being displayed from the other server. That's why you can't see the KOA pics, since KOA is blocked for you, but ModernChivalry isn't, you can see the content from the MC server, but not KOA. :)

I would say with so many pics, linking is better from a visual standpoint, since the pages get gigantimonious with so many pics, and then someone quotes the post with the pics...
