Hello everyone and warm welcomes to all as well!!
My name is Michael and I am currently in El Paso TX. I happened to come across the MC page as I was looking to find new ideas for a rig I am wanting to make / buy for the SCA....I have been in loaner gear for far to long.... I am currently working on a 14th century persona from England who would / could have participated in the combat of the thirty. I have already picked out my name (Mighell de Fairfax) and my Device as well. (Gules, A Pale Or between two foxes sejant respectant) I just now need to register them within the college of heralds as they have already passed the local barony here, which is the citadel of the southern pass btw. What I am looking to do for a rig is a wisby CoP or a cherburge style chest piece with full legs and arms...I know splinted arms and legs were the go to back then, but full sets were making they're way into the fray as well... but im always up for sugestions though on how to put the hard kit together for a more historic look as well as soft kit....I have no idea what im going to do for this...
I am somewhat well versed in heraldy, but there is always room for improvement in that area, as it can get confusing at times lol. I also have around 3 years time with heavy combat within the SCA and around 6 years with Belegarth...think Amtguard with shield bashing...but I have saddly yet been able to attend a major event or war here in the outlands and neighboring kingdoms though.
