HAH hehehe. they fit pretty well. although i may need to cut down the upper cannon a little bit. i had originally made them with the idea of using a round spaulder but instead I used a set that i had previously made out of laziness ;)

i need to point and strap the stuff yet and then show it on the arming coat.

Wolf

Do you have a copy of Osprey's Crecy book? I got a copy in the mail yesterday and the illustration are really good. I snagged if for $5 on abe books.

Also if you want to go with a plain cerveliere Mad Matt sells a good one for SCA use for $150, I bet you could bet him to knock a few bucks off buy just getting the top without slats and a bar grill. You can either wear it over a coif or add and aventail:

Just a note on Mad Matt's Armory, when I last spoke w/him he had told me he wasn't taking any more commissions.  After some discourse he agreed to fit me up an arm and leg harness, or whatever it was I wanted, but it had to come out to about $500 before he would consider it.  Since you might know him personally, he may waive that for you.

All I originally wanted was some leg armor.  LOL

Sir Wolf, you have made very nice progress thus far!  Could you please share some insight into your edge curls and rolls?  Are you using special tools and/or techniques for them as they look very well executed?  8)

That's the luckiest kid in the world- imagine the harness he'll have when he's Sir Nathan's age!

Make one of each so you can wear whatever you're in the mood for, of course!
