Not all day, but, fun nonetheless 8)
Nothing says Christmas like a santa hat

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house.
Everyone was wearing armor,
Yes even the mouse!

And lo, did santa appear with a stocking of presents, clad in full armor with a sword o'er 5 feet long...

The presents are NOT to be opened before Christmas. And we're serious about it!

Testing armor for it's ability to protect against cat-scratches

You're welcome. It was, I didn't know mom doesn't have the "cliche" santa hat or I'd have got one before taking the pics. Figured this is the place for people to revel in my medieval eccentricities. :)

I had the "draw me like one of your french girls" memes in mind before even taking the pictures. Go for it!
-
look at all of those un armoured areas.... that needs to be fixed lol
-
Did Maxim do those legs too? Did you have to send him a foam cast of your leg for cased greaves etc?
-
Wow!! Look at the size of that sword. Sir James, I bet you couldn't hack the hair off a feline's tail without missing. I dare you!! Double dog dare you!!! Take pics too. :P Send me whatever is left for some fuzzy slippers.
-
Dude I know it's not 'period' ( ;) ) but you're allowed to smile from time to time in photos!
-
I approve of this on so many levels.
Also, I see your "French knight" managed to get a little up-tasset shot. How saucy. ;)

Can do! Send me your bank info so I can get an armorer paid, and let's get it done! :)

Allan at MercTailor did the cuisses, greaves are by HammerBreaker, and sabatons are by Mad Matt. No casts, just measurements, and he did a fannn-tastic job at it. I can barely get them on with jeans, and it involves using a butter knife to squish stuff into the seams. It would be perfect with hosen. The fitment is crazy good considering he worked off just measurements.

Alas, I can't do anything about this. My sword protects and serves the masters - that is, the cats. :)

I'm smiling in half the pictures. The visor is just down. ;)
Pics were also taken around 11pm after I worked all day, not actually on Christmas day - and after a big dinner. I was worn out from the holiday travels and work. I forgot my gauntlets and boots on Christmas day, so I had to postpone photos. Let's just say holiday "diet" is not kind to armor fitment!

LOL I just noticed that. Awesome! Next time, I'll show a little ankle, too.

Your cat is really trying to release its claws upon you.
(Now I believe its you)
Card Board sword training seems like a good idea.
It must have been many years since Santa's elves had to work with Steel Im sure.
Very fine Pics Sir james

I'm halfway inclined to do that. Write a book about that, a knight in armor the night before Christmas. Kids book, of course. Hmmm......

Thank you, Sir Brian!
