Going for a 1430s German harness (pic 3) and looking for new legs, think I’m gonna go with some from Mardinus in Poland. Thoughts on segmented/slotted legs vs articulated legs with enclosed greaves? Aesthetically, functionally? Harness is for harnischfechten use (pollaxe and longsword)
The detailing, finish, articulation, and overall craftsmanship are on another level. Just sharing this because work like this genuinely deserves appreciation from the armor-making community.

Woooh, go Normans!
Great production. Had bad spots because we were too distracted by the vendor stalls and waited too long to get hot dogs. But will be going back tomorrow.
I took a few more creative liberties than usual, so this design is something of a guilty pleasure for my tastes. I probably won’t go with this exact design for the final version, but it is certainly fun to look at. Who knows, I might recycle some of the elements into other designs. ^^
So I found these historical depictions of armor and thought it looked quite good and I want to make a harness of it but I cannot figure out the name of the helmet i belive it to be a type of german kettle helmet tho I could be wrong and my own research has left me with more questions then answers. Also if you know anything else about it and the armor in general I would be much appreciated, especially is you know of somehwere to buy it. All I know for certain is the armor looks to be kastenbrust in majority of the illustrations so I believe that puts the time period in the early to mid 15th century, tho I may be wrong.
