For us to fight safely we need to wear armour, some of which we buy and the rest of it we make. Most fighting members of Phoenix Rise have made at least some part of their own armour, with this page dedicated to photos of their armouring projects.
The top of the helm is done, now for the rest of it.

"I really don't know why people use things like pickle barrel when using the correct period methods is so much easier and gives a better appearance on the battlefield and off." - Oleg Braznikov
