OK, got the safety pins out and have it laced. Looking good! Except for those stupid eyelets I won't be using anymore. :)

Second shot is with my arm turned so you can see the lacing come together. Normally this is on the outside edge of my forearm.

And I have two voiders! Now that I'm getting to wear it with both, I'm noticing I made it a little tight around the chest area. I can play with how tightly I laced it, and can put longer laces in if necessary.

Pictures soon, I hope. :) Visually it doesn't look that different. I'll have to put it all on and take a shot at some point. It's hard to armor up without my squire here (Kat and I joke that she's my squire, and I'm her handmaiden, since we're always helping with each others' garb in the faire parking lot).

No black gunk, they were just mildly oiled.

Yes, they're riveted steel, and I got them from Historic Enterprises:

Current price is on the website. :)

This past weekend at MDRF was my first time out with the armor since Allan reworked it (thanks Allan! You did a great job!), and with the new voiders and new legs.

Wow, I haven't posted on this one for quite a while, since nothing's really changed much.

Anyway, I took out all the brown rust discoloration from my gaunts this weekend. And no, I didn't do it in photoshop. :)  If you had seen them right before this, they had that nasty yellowed patina that steel gets all over when it's neglected.

Steel wool with CLR to get most of it off, then came back over it with a scotchbrite with WD40, then cleaned it off and gave it a good spray with the gun oil.

The CLR and steel wool makes quick work of it.

While not exactly action shots, I have some photos from one of our armor nights at VAF a few years ago:

And of course the patriotic mordschlag:   :)
