New WMA gorget.
« on: 2013-05-13, 01:23:34 »
I just got my new gorget from "That Guy" Terry T. for WMA training but liked the look of it so much I thought to give it a go for double duty in the faire scene. Definitely more comfortable and lighter than my usual MT steel gorget but obviously doesn't help support the weight of the great helm like the MT gorget does either.  :-\

Congrats on the new gorget. Might be my monitor, but it looks somewhat dark green?

Looking nice, I like how it's almost a Coat of Plates/Brigandine type gorget.

That's a great looking gorget Sir Brian.  I really like the look of brigandine gorgets
