Joshua Santana:
I think the first picture should give a general idea.  (Hard time with a large file)

Here an example from Paulus Hector Mair

That harness is about a century later than what you're after. Now, if you like it, go for it, but just know that it's a reasonably late 16th century style. While the mid- to late 15th century is my personal preference, I still LOVE a lot of the high 16th century harnesses! :)

You're correct on that, I seem to have a liking to late 15th Century/Maximilian, 16th Century styles of harnesses! LOL!

My idea for my 15th Century harness also came form these





So if I use these as examples (based on originals in Europe) it should look like this










15th Century Arms




15th/16th Century Legs



Another idea was to use this Venetian Sallet & Bevor but I not sure of if that is a good idea




Now if you're suggesting that I go with the 16th Century look, then it would look like this










16th Century Arms




16th Century Legs w/ Reinforcments



Once again, these are prototypes that are always subject to immediate change or further revisions.

Sir James A:
If you want to do Maximillian (I eventually do, but the price is a bit wild for my budget) then you definitely need to check out ArmoryMarek.com; he does LOTS of nice work.



He has a variety of armor and weapons like I have never seen before in one place; the only catch is that he is overseas and english isn't his first language (all I could get is that his armor is "1.5mm iron"), so that could be a possible barrier. If Allan at MercTailor doesn't make it, Marek is my second choice, but I haven't ordered from Marek yet.
