CoP: My winter project!
Lord Dane:
Ditto. Liking it. :)
Sir Ulrich:
Nice, I may have to ask Allan about making one of these once I get a hide and find a maker to make the Visby type 7 kits. I want a Visby type 7 that uses less plates and isnt nearly as long. One I currently got is too heavy to use over maille, Joe Metz rarely uses his coat of plates over his maille for "practicality" reasons as he told me at DoK 2. His is 20 gauge and mine is 16 gauge which is rather thick. I would assume the bigger the plates the lesser the weight along with the plates being thinner.
Sir Rodney:
OK Sir Brian, that fencing kit is pure awesome!
Tell me more about the fencing mask and those finger gauntlets. :)
Sir Brian:
Thanks! :)
The gauntlets are my ‘FrankenGaunts’ that I cobbled together from three different gauntlets.
My mask I had a good friend paint for me a couple of years ago so it looks like it needs a touch up on it. ;)

Sir James A:
I'm thinking the rings and lacing are similar to some samurai armor I saw a while back, that fits in a very similar way of wrapping, but with different sized plates in different orientations.
