Thanks for the weathering advice!  Got the PM as well, so I'll be looking into doing it.  You are correct that my mail is butted rings...I think it's the stainless steel variety.

Believe it or not, as Brother William knows from our converstations, hes not the only Viking-to-be!  I, too, am hard at work on a Viking age kit...another reason weathering up the mail is on my to-do list!  I'm looking at going with an Anglo-Saxon influenced look.

WM, are you thinking of the style helmet that Liam Neeson wore in KoH?  If so, I too have been looking around for one, and have yet to find one.  All I've found so far are the kettle style with the brim.

Oh and thanks for the avatar compliments, Brother Cliff.  You look to be sporting a new one as well.  Very nice!

Liam Neeson Indeed! Great observation brother Marcus.  I must say I have searched & googled my hiney off tonight for that helm and I'm coming up empty handed.  Perhaps I was wrong?  Although I could of swore seeing them in the $120 range. Maybe its one of those, "you see them all the time till you want one phenomenons"

In my searching I did manage to discover many items that I would find satisfactory for my Natal Anniversary or Fathers day celebration. 

One thing I did see a lot of that I don't recall seeing before is the abundance of "Secret Helms". I don't ever remember seeing them on the market before except for skateboarders.  It's like they have sprouted up everywhere like dandelions.

   So my apologies frere Cliff as I was unsuccessful in finding the crusading helm that I was confident I would of found. Maybe they are just currently out style?  Heck, I couldn't even find a image of Liam Neeson wearing one from KoH.

However, on a good note it appears now that the tranny helms we currently have are going for $140 on some sites. So, hack away! I can't wait to see what it looks like when your done!

I will continue to keep an eye out as the search will continue....

Yes, you are absolutely correct. His helm in the beginning is the one I refer to. It was also worn by Rober Taylor in the 50s version of Ivanhoe, but with the mail over the top and outside of it.


As for the avatar, I wanted to show some unity amongst the Warrior Monk chapter.  Strength in numbers!

It appears that the Knights Hospitaller vol (1) 1100-1306 has a new image on the cover?

These are currently in my library. The cover of #1 the Hospitallers appears to be an older version.




And yes........it DOES!


Wonderful work on the graphics Brother William, it appears in our Warrior Monk Chapter, there will be a need for an IT/Graphic Arts position....

and the other two bit dirt?

I wasn't sure if it was older or newer.  Then again it wasn't that long ago when a fellow brethren introduced me to the Osprey line-up.

Sometimes my imagination gets ahead of me.  I thank you for the compliment and will accept the title without hesitation.

We also missed one of my most recent acquisitions: The Scandanavian Baltic Crusades!

[Marcus of Ibelin]

That be it!

[Sir William Marcus]

Still can't find one like that! 

[Lady Christina de Pond]

[Sir William Marcus]

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

[Lady Christina de Pond]
