Japanese armour

#1 Post by yeoman » Mon Apr 11, 2005 7:52 am

This is a very cool site. It should've been published, but then I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it. As it is: it's free. just the right price for my budget :wink:

Wow... very cool... ahhh... I'd love the time to make a suit! I know very little about Japanese armour.

I've got a suit of Roman Segmentata armour on the backburner which I'd like to finish first... and cover it with a nice wild dog pelt! 8)

started work on a peice myself from that very site. It is the best site I have found on the net and I agree, it should have been published.
