|
|
A lot of members are currently gearing up which is a great thing but make sure you keep on track with our time period - mid to late 14thC.
The best guide to armour styles is to look at the link James put up of English effigies, there is no better guide than this for anyone depicting a man-at-arms. Even for archers or sergants you can get an idea of the style to look for in leg harness etc. _________________ " Socialism eventually runs out of other peoples money" - Margaret Thatcher |

A clear handout would be really good, with photo's if possible. I have been baning around like an old jalopy trying to get it right. _________________ "Ferus Autem Verus"

What you gave us was good but it is hard at times to place the names of items listed with the pictures. Both are detailed but not connected. That is there are no labels on the actual diagrams. Also when purchasing it takes as you know a bit of checking to get purchase the correct era item.
I just bought an awesome laser printer which can do really good quality photo reproductions. Thought I might start on taking some photos of various combos of dressed warriors so people can get an idea of the combo's possible.
I can do a colour copy for the equivalent of 5cents per sheet. It would be great for an updated pamphlet for arming, warbow and anything else we may wish to explain. _________________ "Ferus Autem Verus"

It should be said that Damo has put A LOT of information up here from all sorts of websites so people may be able to find what they are looking for. If anyone has any quieries just ask one of the guys who know or can find out.

Sort of yes, labeled like that but none of those are from our period  _________________ "One shall stand, one shall fall". |

Yes Elissa that's more like it but as Morgan says, from the LMS era. _________________ "Ferus Autem Verus"

Nice work Damo. While we're talking armour can I just say for those who are getting/have plate legs, try and avoid splint lowers. If you want splint lowers you should be looking at coat of plate or splint uppers. Plate greaves or demi greaves are fine with coat of plate, padded or splint uppers but never the other wat round. _________________ " Socialism eventually runs out of other peoples money" - Margaret Thatcher |

*mutters*
The amount of people who show me a print out of that horrid pourpoint of Charles of Blois is staggering. It must get put under the noses of newbies and they are told 'go get one made'. When you explain that IF you were to make one, hand sewing while passing a needle shaft between pliars is costly...they look stunned and say 'l'll pay up to $100'.
Dream on.
For some nice eye candy (!), do a web search for Rustkammer (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden). Some of my SCA and ALH members have just come back from there and took some truely wonderful photos. The joust displays/colors are brillant. Never has a slide night of some 2000 slides been so interesting.
While touring, Adolf took photos of engravings, effergies and paintings of ladies gowns and must of overstepped the boundries somewhere as she almost had her camera confiscated.
l'll try to scan some of the Kunstsammlugen photos to show you all (another day, too tired now).
Oh...and Morgan....have you replied to Kerry?????? _________________ l'd rather die standing than live on my knees. |

Ones a coat armour the other civilian dress, I don't think either are an akerton or arming jaket but people use them as that, which is OK though. _________________ " Socialism eventually runs out of other peoples money" - Margaret Thatcher |

With all this there is probably information overload for the those starting out so I am going to start working on some photos of a person wearing basic gear for archers to start with, with minimal variation. (trying to keep it simple). I'd do one for the combat eventually but I want to start at a low level. _________________ "Ferus Autem Verus"

bottom ones a jupon, top one is Doublet of Charles de Blois - sometimes called a pourpoint, but if it was intended to go under armour then it is more of an aketon. same as mine (except for buttons) and mine aint as tight _________________ Veni Vidi Vici |
