Sir Edward, I added a couple pics to my Knight page, maybe you can do something with the one I am posing with the Headless Knight? It's one of the better pics I have. Hopefully my buff coat arrives this week and I can get a couple good pics of me in my new peascod breast and back.

Now that I got my maille, and am soon to get my period clothing I am gonna take more pics that you can have fun with. I will finally look like an actual knight and not some poorly equipped footsoldier/squire.

Great job!  :)

Hey you know what I just realized?
That would look even better Sir William if Sir Edward had a picture of you without those bingo wings!

That's a pretty sweet pic. I especially like the glowing sword, it's subtle, so it isn't over the top.

Sir Edward, that's fantastic...will these be offered on your cafe press site as well?  Love that effect.

Sir Brian, I cringe when I see them now.  I'm working on tightening up my kit so hopefully, by VARF time, I'll be more or less set up so I don't look so funny.  And ditto with the fantasy armor and sword...that was some time ago.  lol

My wife's gonna get a kick out of this though!

It was but a jest Sir William! ;)
btw I truly like the ring vambraces and greaves! They look really great and works for me! :)

They are nice pieces...but I wonder at how historical they are.  The guy who made them does some incredible work, but he doesn't harden his pieces, using double thickness instead.  I thought they looked really cool!

I could probably add it there. I forget what image sizes they need.

But also, if you click on the image, you get the full-size copy. It's always possible to take it to Staples or Kinkos or something and get a print as well.

This is a good reminder. If anyone wants the posters/prints I've already set up, they're here: http://www.cafepress.com/modernchivalry/7756185

BTW, on this last one, I took advantage of the black background, and used high contrast to select the foreground and delete the background. That time it worked to my advantage. :)
