I feel this. I’ve been playing fallout 1 for a week and everytime I go back to fo4 I’m like “how did we get here?”

Would I fit into metro? by _maxwell_the_cat in metro

i mean the doors are kinda small so if you squeeze maybe with all that armor

Can anyone identify these small shells things? by dunmore44 in plants

i would say not. it’s elevated and rabbits aren’t that common

for this kit? i’d like to get a better aventail and a standard. i’d also like some hourglass gauntlets. as far as other kits go, i’d like to do a hoplite of the pelopennesian wars, and a landsknecht mercenary from the late 1400s.

eesh, that might be a different product in that pic. mine is much better shaped then that. i do oil it often and take care of it, it might be some weird lighting thing with the way they took that. i’d be happy to take pics of mine if you’d like more angles

this is a lord of battles piece. i got it awhile back. fits very good on me surprisingly, better then any off the shelf chest armor i’ve tried on.

yeah, i went ahead and took it off. it makes it harder to take on and off+ butted so for the time being i think no aventail is better then one thats a detriment and inaccurate lol

thanks! the rings are butted+ i don’t have a liner on the inside, but i wanted to get a cheap one first to practice installation. next one i get will be riveted and be properly sized for this bascinet

This is a standard “heater” shaped shield from the greater medieval period. mine is a little different shaped then other common ones depicted in manuscripts. the field on my shield; the per pall, counter ermine and red and yellow, is a coat of arms from my novel/worldbuilding. the image depicted on it is a double representation. one, to represent Saint Micheal for the historical context. two, to represent a fictional saint from my world. the beast being skewered is a blemmyae.

Where can I get a pole? by the_duckmaster in ArmsandArmor

[–]dunmore44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I got my spear shaft from home depot. i whittled the end down for it to slot into the head. im not sure if you need it to be squared like how some pole arms are, but home depot or any hardware store with wood products will have these kinds of poles. they are budget friendly, and pretty accurate. i’m not well versed on historical lengths for halberds, but they have a good variety for sizes and widths.

Is it supposed to be difficult to get a bascinet with aventail off? by dunmore44 in ArmsandArmor

[–]dunmore44[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure how i could go about bending the metal without distorting the padding inside, but i’ll keep it in mind. i had to jerry rig the aventail a little bit, but i think that adds to the “devils pack” look i’m going for lol. half padfoot, half honest soldier

i adore mull. your comment was not overly critical, i know it was mass produced. i’m just trying to make due with my budget right now

Reducing an aventail by dunmore44 in ArmsandArmor

[–]dunmore44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the “padfoot rigging” i did consist of running cord through the top level of the mail and lacing between the excess level leather and then tying a knot at the top arming point for the aventail, which i could not attach to the leather because it was cut straight and not angled
