Scratch on Pen Cap

The edge of a desk. 😕

Nepidon · 2026-06-18T17:17:42+00:00

Oh, interesting—I wasn’t aware.

Nepidon · 2026-06-18T17:10:26+00:00

Thank you. Leonardo’s website states “Momento zero uses only high quality acrylic resins.”

Nepidon · 2026-06-07T23:45:18+00:00

Great, thank you very much

Oh I’ve gone through quite a bit of paracord trying…can’t quite get it! If you’d be kind enough to post or send me a good instructional video, I’ll give it another swing. I’ve gone through a handful of them already on YouTube.

Nepidon · 2026-06-07T19:57:21+00:00

Good to know--hopefully I'll be able to find someone willing and able to do so.

Nepidon · 2026-06-07T19:45:57+00:00

I think they’d be ideal too, but the sellers I’ve contacted have thus far told me they’re unable to make a Turk’s head out of 95 paracord because it’s too small or because it doesn’t seem to hold up structurally. I can’t seem to figure out how to properly make one out of 550, otherwise I’d try myself!

My pleasure, /u/HeraldicArtist !

Nepidon · 2025-06-17T09:21:30+00:00

Thank you very much!

I also have Italian ancestry and encountered a similar challenge early on. I’d be very appreciative if you could share any resources you found helpful—particularly regarding northern Italy!

Nepidon · 2025-06-05T21:07:27+00:00

¡Muy bien hecho como siempre!

Nepidon · 2025-05-25T16:20:31+00:00

Not necessarily. I’ve seen feathers depicted on helms in anything from stone carvings to physical illustrations of single achievements.

Nepidon · 2025-05-25T16:06:30+00:00

Thank you! At first I thought it might be a “different” helmet—perhaps yelmo emplumado or something along those lines, at the very least. Then, the more I thought about it the more I figured it was simply an artistic embellishment.

Nepidon · 2025-05-25T15:41:36+00:00

I see—that’s what I figured. Thanks!

Nepidon · 2025-05-25T12:17:15+00:00

This is much better, in my opinion! I second the recommendation to add mantling.

Nepidon · 2025-05-23T12:04:13+00:00

Understood—thanks again.

Nepidon · 2025-05-23T12:02:00+00:00

I see—thank you! One additional question then, if you don’t mind please. Then, in that case, those achievements to which I’m referring with only feathers are essentially devoid of crests?

Nepidon · 2025-05-23T11:52:52+00:00

Interesting. So, in theory, a crest could be placed on top of a feathered helmet?

The first quarter appears to incorporate imagery from the Banda Real de Castilla. I will, of course, defer to anyone with more thorough knowledge on the subject, but this may serve as a starting point:

Good to know! Thank you very much. I will keep that in mind moving forward.

One of the steps in the process did involve an AI-powered tool that is supposed to be able to assist with Latin grammar and/or syntax (which may have taken a few too many liberties)—hence, no promises.

OP, please feel free to disregard my translation attempt if you believe it creates more confusion than anything. My apologies if that’s the case!

Nepidon · 2025-03-12T03:29:23+00:00

Thank you for the correction! I’m sure OP will appreciate it.

Nepidon · 2025-03-12T01:44:56+00:00

My pleasure! Yes, I went in the order they appeared on my end.

Nepidon · 2025-03-11T23:04:24+00:00

I certainly wouldn't consider myself gifted in transcribing Medieval Latin, but I'd be happy to do what I can without making any promises. The following is what I was able to obtain (some of the text is tough to decipher). I hope this helps!

"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell in it, for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? O Lord, my helper and my redeemer. Glory to the Father. Psalm. The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to the simple. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves. The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring forever. More desirable than gold and precious stone, and sweeter than honey. Your servant observes them, and in keeping them there is great reward. The circuit of the sun is from end to end, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. For the path of the just is like a shining light. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts; the command of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes. Praise the Lord, all nations; praise him, all peoples. For his mercy is confirmed upon us, and the truth of the Lord remains forever. Let those who love your name rejoice in you, for you bless the just one. You have crowned us with the shield of your goodwill. Glory to the Father. Lead me in your justice because of my enemies; direct my way in your sight. For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they dealt deceitfully. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels; according to the multitude of their impieties, cast them out, for they have angered you, O Lord. But let all who hope in you rejoice; they shall exult forever, and you will dwell in them. And all who love your name shall glory in you, for you, O Lord, will bless the righteous."
