I recently bought those same arms from William Hurt - they're awesome and worth every cent.

Pamela - I suspect the bevor needs to go under the breastplate here.

Ooh, those are pretty.  So many options to think about.

Another friend just gave me another idea of the look I should go for.  He said I look like something from "Labyrinth".

Not even close!

HA! I know exactly what your friend is talking about, too... the guys who ride the dinosaur-like mounts.

So Pamela's harness is starting to come together. I agree with Christian about the bevor going under the breast plate... in fact, we were talking about this when we first put it on. We'd already put on the breast plate, so we went without the bevor for class, but stuck it on briefly for a photo op. The pieces are a tad big for her, but not out of the question. The sallet looks really good with the visor up, except that her sallet won't stay up, unfortunately. We were talking about the possibility of either:

1) sending it to somebody to make a spring pin for it (anyone have a suggestion on who?)

or

2) removing the visor entirely for an open face piece.

[Sir Wolf]

tell me more about her visor. does it not stay in place when ist down or when its up? if it wont stay in palce when its up that can be fixed with a leather washer between the visor and the helmet where it is riveted. if it won't stay down when down then ya, a spring pin can be made from 2 rivets and a hacksaw blade.

It definately won't stay up... the leather washer idea is pretty good. It only stays down because its heavy enough, but if she were doing serious fighting with it, I wouldn't trust it to stay closed on its own. Our harnisfechten practices are more theoritical... we don't bout with those techniques the way we do with the unarmoured techniques, so for the time being its not too much of a concern about how well it stays closed.

And here's what the jack chains would look like. (ignore Mark's finger holding them up)

[Sword Chick]

And jack chains made a lovely Mother's Day gift.  Mark said he was giving arm candy to his arm candy.  Ain't that sweet?    At least one of you ("Nothing says 'love' like a flanged mace.") knew about it and kept the secret very well. 

Rumor has it legs are still a strong possibility for a future gift occasion, apparently they are still out of stock.
