--- Quote from: Sir Edward on 2011-06-03, 19:10:27 ---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.

hey, ask someone (sword chick?) who has one to look and make sure there are no weld marks on the inside!!! sometimes people use rivets but also spot weld them together in a few places to extra hold. it will be no problem for us to get the 2 apart when you come up hehehe or i can make it down again :)
can i have the plackart? ehhehe for pattern making anyways. hehehe

One of the folks in our class already took the plackart off of theirs, and that's what gave us the idea. Underneath it, it's not that far off from a globose breastplate. It just leaves a rivet hole in the middle, and the bottom edge looks a little unfinished.
Sir Wolf:
we could put rivets back into it.
let me know when it is delivered and i will try to make it down. i'm sure dianna will love to see her mom that weekend etc hehe

This is expensive, but probably also unlined. It looks pretty cool though.

Expensive but very cool looking! I really like that helm! :)
Sir Wolf:
it is! but i worry it is too early like the sugarloaf for his kit. source: http://home.scarlet.be/~klauwaer/helm/ http://talbotsfineaccessories.com/armour/effigy/All-Effigies.htm
Sir Brian:
Sir Edward can always claim the helm is a family heirloom!
Seriously though, possessing archaic items are far more plausible than possessing futuristic items that decades or even centuries before the timeline of your kit. :-\
