My Armor kit - Historical Fiction?
Sir William:
--- Quote from: DouglasTheYounger on 2014-02-12, 00:53:38 ---It might not be historical, but I really like that harness. I don't see too many "fictional" harnesses that I can say that about. It's something I could imagine the knights of Dol Amroth from LotR wearing. I'm going to go the classic "Sir James route" and say work on a separate, historical kit if you can. ;) It would probably be just about as expensive to convert that one, and it would be a shame to try to convert it and end up with something that's neither historical nor looks as nice as it does now.
But yes, definitely hold on to that one, because it's just so darn cool!

LOL
It really is 'his' route isn't it? It isn't like I can ignore him, he's my Brother and he's a really nice guy so it sounds all good when he says 'oh yea, split that off and create a new harness, you'll just need this and this and...' - but beware, good gentles. ;)
Sir Martyn:
Thanks for all the great feedback, folks.
Just keeping the discussion friendly, I did have a few photos from my Arms & Armor of the Medieval Knight: An illustrated history of weaponry in the Middle Ages (DAVID & JOHN PADDOCK EDGE) that I thought could have made the argument for historical consideration of some of the harness pieces' inclusion, but am not going to fall on my sword about it :)
Outside of LH, I take it this harness would still be welcome at Order functions/outings?
Looks like a second harness may be in order - but who's going to explain that to my wife? :)
A 13th century maile kit may be the easiest to procure my then. Where did y'all procure your rings?

I think the person best suited to have that conversation would be you. :)

IceFalcon and GDFB / Kult of Athena. Both tend to have at least some things in stock, both are in the US, and both ship quickly.
IceFalcon is having a 10% off anything in stock sale: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=168743
