Our last works




It would be cool that in this game would be our armor. I would provide more photos. But I understand that it’s too brazen of me.

Hui… that is looking beautiful. Unfortuantely it is a bit late to put this in the game I assume. I really like the Hounskull :slight_smile:

I dabbled in reinactment in my younger days, 40lbs of armour in the non-coreographed ‘Grand Melee’ plus another 12lbs for the helmet (more modern materials hidden under the steel of the helm i have to admit hading been belted round the back of the head with a 5lbs axe it still hurt like hell).

A lot of the misconception of full plate turning you into an armoured turtle and being unable to stand up if knocked over stems from ‘Jousting/Tournament’ armour which was often 90lbs in weight (something to do with a 1300lbs horse barreling towards you carrying a 250lbs rider with 12 foot long lance in his hand). if unhorsed the shock of hitting the ground at around 18 mph wearing 90lbs of armour means you won’t be getting up any time soon!

Modern reproduction armour benefits from better metals, and for non combat, aluminium chainmail is readily available weighing a fraction of the original weight.

The last point is that roughly speaking we are about 6 inches taller and a lot less thickset than the average middle age fighter who additionally would be considered really old if he hit 40 let alone any older.

Most of these helms are just sport helms and not accurate, but it’s not like the helmets in KCD are historically accurate anyways, especially when for some reason the armor is based off of BOTN crap and not real gambesons/jupons. The collars and cut sleeves are just hideous compared to the historical deal.

The helmet is made by the size of bascinet found in Ukraine. The original is in the collection of Eugene Gredunov. In this series, I perform the final molding of the visor, making loops, holes and grinding. In the manufacture of electric welding is used as there is no task to restore the manufacturing process of a medieval helmet.
