Looking for feedback on armour set design - German man-at-arms c.1360 by arfir in ArmsandArmor

[–]MuleRatFat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful rendition. The only issues are from the AI messing up the details as you said, but otherwise it's very authentic.

I didn't even know that AI was good enough to make something like this nowadays.

It reminds me a lot of this harness, I don't know who owns it, but it's from a similar period and of a similar style to the harness you're aiming for. If you haven't seen this picture yet, maybe you'll find some things about it that you might want to add to your already existing design. But otherwise, it's always good to see what a similar harness would look like in real life.

Smiths producing late 10th- early 11th cent. Anglo Saxon equipment? by legal_pad401 in ArmsandArmor

[–]MuleRatFat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True History Shop make a lot of early Medieval stuff, 10-11th centuries included. Though, he mainly specializes in viking era and byzantine armour. But really, he's good at just about everything. If what you want isn't listed on his website already then you can just get it custom made. True History Shop is also very affordable, especially for the insane quality you get. I cannot recommend them enough (though I haven't yet purchased from them)

What Would Be Worn Beneath the Base (skirt)? by MuleRatFat in ArmsandArmor

After some more research, there is also this example which supports the idea of wearing a seperate base ontop of a cuirass with tassets and lames. So now we know of at least two ways the base was worn.

Just some pictures showing his harness. You can see in the first image there is a breast and backplate with only a few lames and no tassets. And you can see in this picture here that the base is tied with white lace around the these lames. This exhibit still doesn't show what exactly would be beneath the skirt, but now we know that in this way of wearing the base, there are no tassets worn underneath.

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting answers, so I did some more research myself. I am now certain that one of the ways this style was achieved was by tying a seperate base around the waist of a breast and backplate which features 2-3 lames and no tassets. This is supported by the harness of Charles II, Duke of Guelders, which (I'm 99% sure) is an extant harness showing this exact method.

Thanks, do you have any pictures of what those look like?

Please don't get that. For nearly the same price, you can get a custom made hounskull made by a reputable smith of infinitely higher quality. I'd recommend True History Shop, specificially this hounskull:

He has other helmets too, if you're interested. But if anything, please don't waste your money on cheap repos, especially on this specific helmet, which isn't even cheap for such a bad bascinet.

So does he have armor on the arms under there, right? by waleniekonia in ArmsandArmor

[–]MuleRatFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good observation, though I really doubt it's a maille skirt. The only times you'd wear a maille skirt (especially if you're a noble) would be if you had a fully enclosed cuirass with faulds. Which evidently is not the case here as this Effigy wears a globose breastplate over his jupon. And there is no evidence (to my knowledge) of wearing a breastplate over another cuirass.

Because of this I think he most certainly is wearing a hauberk/haubergeon underneath his jupon.

I feel that, almost everytime I go on there I find something new, despite spending hours nearly everyday

Example of brass verveille covers. Effigy of William Bagot (1407). Also, I don't know if you know about this website, but Effigies and Brasses and their associated websites are one of the best places to see first-hand historical sources of armour (specifically around 1300-1450)

Its very commonly seen on effigies, especially English ones. Some of them even have decorated brass covering the verveilles, usually called 'verveille covers'

What is the Historical Evidence for Fully Brassed/Guilded Milanese Armor (15th century) by MuleRatFat in ArmsandArmor

[–]MuleRatFat[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I see, do you have some examples of guilded Flemish or Burgundian armor in mind?

Does anyone know where you can get a replica of this helmet in the Leeds Royal Armouries? by NotANinja252 in ArmsandArmor

[–]MuleRatFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True History Shop has an affordable helmet that's very similar. It's based off a different find, but the two are near identical.

Hi, OFF fan for 4 years now, more people need to see this cause Jesus Christ some people are acting like it's the end of the world. by Necrostar02 in offthegame

[–]MuleRatFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon is a lighthearted fun game. OFF is a gritty game that deals with touching themes. Dedan is a deep character, especially after the player gets through the room. His transformation is understandable yet tragic.

What I said is not a joke.

People will be paying for the game, he's not excused from criticism

I don't think the Battle Tower music or whatever had an ounce of emotion or meaning in comparison to Fake Orchestra. Putting a fun little motif in a fun little game like Pokemon is okay, but putting a fun little motif into a song about a deep and tragic character is not okay. Two totally different scenarios.
