We have the Carolina Ren Fest in october-November. But we are also trying to make a series of comedy videos in a monty python style, which will give me. More opportunity to wear my stuff lol.
I cut myself out from the original background because the backdrop sucked. Wanted the focus to be the armor.
Well… that ain't right. Lmfao
Here's a comment I made explaining it with example pictures too!
This particular type of helmet is a 16th century "Armet" which is a style of closed helm. There are typically 2 types of closed helms, one is actually just called a "closed helm. "
An armet has cheek plates that close around your head to form the bevor (bit that protects your chin and neck to fully protect your head.
A "Close helm" has a single hinge point that the visor and bevor hinge on to close onto your face.
It's interesting stuff!
Typically it was about heraldry/house colors. It goes with the outfit. I did consider putting a white one or 2 in there as well.
If I want I can always wear different colors too.
Thank'ee kindly! I would love to someday get sponsored by one of the vendors of this stuff and do reviews and content creation for this stuff. Would love to turn this passion into a way to earn a living instead of breaking my body in a factory.
I really appreciate your kind words!
Potato front facing cam. Gotta do what do.
Had to use my front facing camera with a timer and then had to crop it.
Ya gotta do, what ya gotta do :( there's better pics of me in garb on my profile. This was a test fitting to see how it all worked and how my mobility was. Hence the jammies under the armor lol.
Oh damn. Sounds stressful.
Lol. More to come as well. Still gotta modify the surcoat to go better with my inspiration for this kit. Carian Knight from Elden Ring. I have a black surcoat I am going to modify to look like the blue surcoat on this guy.
Oh, also what I am wearing under the breastplate is a padded textile armor called a gambeson. Adds more protection and padding. Good stuff!
I finally finished sewing the liner! The helmet is now wearable after a ton of work!
Been working on making the helmet wearable for an age! Finally sewing in the liner. Huge progress!
