Sir Jason Simonds:
Sir Wolf,
I do know Don Burkett, and Rob Slater, as well as Ray Partenheimer (Hans), I have also meet other WWII Reenactors that enjoy coming to the Ren Faire as well, just don't remember names.
Sir Edward:
Well, I had a chance to actually fight in this kit last night. It performed pretty well, but it's clear I need to get that torso armor over the mail. Bill and I talked about the idea of using the GDFB simple breastplate, and take the plackart off, and use it like a cheap globose breastplate. So I have one on order now from KOA. I'm going to give that a shot.
I canceled that order for the GDFB "pot helm" I mentioned in another thread. I'm looking back through this thread at some of the klappvisor and round-faced bascinet options out there. The one from Anshelm we mentioned earlier is gorgeous, but we misread the page. It would be something like $900 for that visor, aventail, etc... but not the helm itself! That's another $500-$2000!
So I'm still looking.
This one is listed as "out of stock", but is still an option, and comes with padding and strapping, just no aventail: http://armourandcastings.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=68
I figured I'd post a few photos that I'm using as inspiration while putting this kit together, as a reminder:
