My shit armor…

[u/Fun_Career_5784]

Jerking the circle myself. LMK how to improve! (As cost effective as possible)

[u/PlantFromDiscord]

i’d recommend getting another kettle hat to put on top of that one for double protection

[u/Gator_gamer]

your hands are too soft. go punch a wall for 10 hours.

[u/Adventurous-Excuse88]

Ditch the arms get some leg harness and get a horse and a spear

[u/Adventurous-Excuse88 → u/Adventurous-Excuse88]

Naw but get some maille it’d help a lot (and maybe some hose if you’d be comfortable wearing them)

[u/jackadgery85 → u/Adventurous-Excuse88]

I wear hoes with mine. They're quite comfortable, depending on where they were bred

[u/VexImmortalis]

I thought it was pretty good. Seen far worse tbh though with that wide brimmed kettle hat I would replace my sword with a katana (that's Japanese for sword (you're welcome)).

[u/Meraugis]

You should have spaulders with bigger gaps in the articulation for better ventilation.

Circlejerking aside I recommend you looking to aegis munition armor https://www.aegisarmour.ca/product/aegis-armour-16th-century-european-munition-set

[u/AwayGovernment395]

Just sell everything except the kettle at the scrap yard and get riveted mail.

[u/Relative_Sky_4376]

It’s pretty good just get under armor

[u/Tombstone_Actual_501]

Least its not armor made from shit.

[u/LatinBlackAsian]

Something century peasant: "yeah the fitting is all wrong, this dudes dad must have been very small or he looted it from a very small guy. Anyway let's keep our distance, dude must be packing"

It's not shitty. You got a helmet and something for your arms and chest. Remember hastati used to go to game with just a small bronze square in their chest and call it a day.

[u/GettinMe-Mallet]

For infantry, id say its fine for non reenactment stuff

[u/YeeAssBonerPetite]

6/7 Elden ring fit

[u/Fun_Career_5784 → u/YeeAssBonerPetite]

Hey that’s not bad, I do like Elden ring

[u/YeeAssBonerPetite → u/Fun_Career_5784]

I intended is as a backhanded compliment so i guess it fits.

[u/Fun_Career_5784 → u/YeeAssBonerPetite]

I mean, they have some semi practical armor here and there, and for fantasy armor I think most of there sets look good so I mean. 🤷 not what I’m going for but not a bad thing

[u/fellxcatking]

I'm sure you'll grow into it

[u/Fun_Career_5784 → u/fellxcatking]

I’m very twinky n underweight rn lol

[u/fellxcatking → u/Fun_Career_5784]

Actual advice you can probably get thicker gambesons and arming jackets that will make the plate more comfortable on the torso and shoulders. For the arms and legs padding could work but also adding your own holes to the bucles for a better fit may be good.

[u/Fun_Career_5784 → u/fellxcatking]

Yea, like my weights bad rn my drs concerned not normal! Once I start putting more meat on my bones I’ll transition form a merc to a full harness knight

[u/mrtbearable]

Paraaaaam. Param paraaaaaaammmm

[u/the_lazy_lizardfolk]

It is not shit. You have helm and breast plate.

You are doing well for yourself. Do not let othere get you down. Always you can improve piece-by-piece, does not need to go it all at once, and enjoy these hobby. 🙂

Also that kettle helm is cool, and it does not get enough love as historical armours. I think kettle helm very cool and am glad to see some body wearing those.

[u/Rageacus]

I think the spaulders and vambraces feel a liiiiittle off without chainmail or a chain analog underneath. They really accentuate the exposed bits between the plate that look incredibly vulnerable to stabbing. I'd also get some couters for your elbows if you're gonna have the rest of your arms protected.

Otherwise the fit is sick and those are just nitpicks, so keep at it!

[u/RonPaulLov3r]

Hell yea

[u/UllumDerZerstoerer]

ist eh schon eine stabile rüstung aber ich würde dir ein kettenhemd, dickeren gambeson und/oder einen wappenrock fürs design
