First off, sincerest apologies to my fellow bloggers as I've not visited as many of your sites as I had wished. Somewhat busier than normal at work, and also returning to an earlier passion - Late Medieval armor. Seems the timing for this is fortuitous as there is so much relatively inexpensive reproduction stuff being made in India and elsewhere. I ended up getting a padded gambeson that is very similar to the one once owned by Charles VI of France, and still in existence. Here it is below with the other stuff recently acquired - the belt is actually on loan from my wife.

"We just have to step on his toes and he'll stop." |
The gambeson is made in India, and was actually shipped from there and arrived in a only a couple of weeks.
|
"Yeah, he's up." |
I should get some better foot protection, but I just got home from work and opened the box and couldn't wait to try it on. I know I'm getting on my wife's nerves asking her to take pictures of me too.

"Leave the DVD player, it's not worth it!" |
Hope to get back to painting soon - but this 1:1 stuff is a bit fun. ;) Cheers!
Ah, just in time for Halloween!
