BigGrin Hi All
Today I did the helmet lining and sweat band and then added the neck guard to the helmet.
Be carefull when fitting the sweat band to the helmet as a good deal of streching and pulling is needed to get it in place.
It looks the biz when its done though.
More soon
regards

BigGrin Hi Karl
Thanks for your comments and looking in , unfortunately the colour of the laces are from the suit of armour the kit is based on so not much I can do about it also the flash bleaches the blue ribbon so it seams much lighter than it is in real life

BigGrin Hi All
Made up another full Tasset and fitted it then the half Tasset provided this month that just leaved one and a half Tasset's left.
The rest of the beard/mostache has now been added and the face mask retaining cord added.
Something new this month its the start of the gauntlets these provide protection for the hands and forearms these consist of metal plates joined by chain mail that I presume will be added to a cloth backing of some description. More soon.

BigGrin Hi All
Some progress on the armour as I have been a little busy on other projects.
I have made up the shoulder plates wrist and hand guards conecting them with the chain mail suplied. The chain mail when I had it delivered had lost a couple of rings by streching on the mounting board not a big problem to fix and easily remidyied, a tip here would be to check over the rings and close any that have spread in transit.
Im half way through the last two Tassets now more pics soon
regards

Beautiful work Andy, that chainmail looks to be a little fiddly to work with and looks fab.... Drool Drool ..

Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous New Year...
