SirNathanQ:
Haha, nope, nor the poopstain brown and rubble grey that apparantly covered everything in the medieval period  ;)

I would like to see more painted helms and armour, myself.

Sir William:
You mean, like this?  One of Toby Capwell's harnesses...this one's retired, actually.  I have a pic of someone else's helm, armor, sword and shield at home...the shield and helm are painted in blue and white swirled....really quite cool; I wanna say Dave Kelly but I could be wrong about that.  He plays Viking/early Norman I think.  I'll see if I can dig it up.

SirNathanQ:
I believe Mr Capwell's magnificent harness is heat-blued.   But liek painted on heraldry and such.

Yep, heat blued with brass details. :drool:

I haven't seen much historical painted armor aside from early period helms and shields. The next closest thing is the "black and white" harnesses from the early firearms periods, which aren't really "white" and just have blackened bits (the ones I've seen). Painted mild steel armor is very practical since it makes maintenance much easier. :)
