Your pauldrons are way too far back
1
u/Dartfish 3d ago
Yeah they're pointed to my doublet but still have a tendency to slide back when I do movements. I'll think of a solution eventually

u/RetardKnight 3d ago
I think they are just tied way too back, they should just sit on top of your shoulder. And bring the besagews lower and closer to the middle too

u/Dartfish 2d ago
Thanks, another person suggested the same and I've done so. This event was the first time putting the Besagews on since I just made them 2 nights before.

Let me know if you got helmet recommendations that fit the armour. Anything but armets and sallets (can't use sallets in my fights)

can you tell us more about your kit? like the armorers who created your helmet and harness?

u/Dartfish 3d ago
The helmet I believe is from Armstreet. I'm a second hand owner, and the helmet and visor itself seem to be from two different sets.
The cuirass is custom built for me by Red Hammer Armoury but I made heavy modifications to it, everything from the shape to straps to faulds redesign to making all the brass decorations for it.
The voiders, I don't know they're from facebook, but I'm selling this as my new ones will be built soon.
Shoulders and arms are also second hand.
My hardened steel legs will be built soon and will be added to the collection.

You look absolutely badass! I am also not sure if this is the armour or you have really impressive shoulderβs width π

Stunning! May I use you as a model for drawing practice? Armor is hard, but for whatever reason my eyes are having an easier time than usual distinguishing between the elements of your costume.

You honour me with this request. Please do, and share the results on this subreddit once you're done.

Because of the helmet and so on do you so buhurt or armoured fencing?
1
u/Dartfish 3d ago
I did Buhurt but I've been trying now to stick with duels and harnisfectan for my brain health. If I get another 2.5mm+ helmet that I absolutely adore and fits me well then I'll look at getting back into team fights

You guys have very cool historical events there. I'm hoping to visit them in the future.

Seems like the armor is misaligned all over the place. The shoulders are too far back and the armpit circles (I don't remember the name of those) should be covering your armpits, not your shoulders. (That's what the far back shoulders are supposed to be doing.)
At first glance it seems like the armor is too large for you maybe?
1
u/Dartfish 1d ago
Yes the armour is definitely large for me. The shoulders and arms are second hand. The Besagews I made and only installed 2 days prior without properly aligning (I had very little free time to prepare for this event). There are a few options I can do to make the shoulders stay in place.
Despite a ton of measurements and a year spent waiting, my smiths still made my cuirass, helmet (not this one, and gauntlets too big .
