Description
I'm not really happy with this photo so I'll probably either replace it or post a new one at some point.Anyway, this is the front of my armour (see the Metal Corset for details of the bottom half) plus gorget.
Part of the armour I'm making for myself with Bill at South Tower Armouring Guild.

Are you kidding me. How cool. Looks great. Do you do any WesternMartialArts/HistoricalEuropeanMartialArts or Reenactment stuff? I train fencing with the longsword after mostly the manuscript of Sigmund Ringeck.
Cheers

I'll post a photo of the completed set when I finish it. I'm hoping to get back into the shop next week to work on the legs.
I started with olympic style fencing then moved on to SCA fencing (not heavy) and recently I've been doing european broadsword work (ie the sword in my ID) with South Tower Armoury Guild.
Sword fighting is amazing fun isn't it?

Yeah it's great. I've been doing German Longsword since August 2007 and trying to fit in Sword&Buckler in a packed schedule. And I totally LOVE IT. My girlfriend calls it the Cult! Maybe I'm a tad to obsessive

You should convince her to join the "cult".

I'm really trying. But it's hard with a full blooded pacifist

Great exercise? Releases stress and aggression? Meet wonderful people?
I'm not sure. My husband was coaching fencing when I met him so I didn't have to convince him.

I showed her some clips two of my friends put together from all the sparring clips on our different YouTube channels we got. She seemed to soften up a bit, when she saw how much fun we have. Cool that you hook up with a "Knight" Have he been training a long time? Are you and him members of ARMA then?
Here is the clips, if you wanna look:
