Plate. It's good for practicing details. But
I doubt it matters. Whatever pops into his head as medieval will do.

Full plate or realistic?
Are you saying full plate isn't real?
Full plate was not till the end of the age and not all that common/practical

It was used for nearly 200 years, and was very practical for the wearer. Just very expensive to get it made.

Impractical being that it was heavy and expensive and the last chunk of the time it was used guns had been invented and used against it, with great effectiveness.
And like I said, later in the age. It was also much less comman than say chain mail.


I'll probably do some knight in full plate with a halberd or some other pole arm

Quote from: wikipedia on Plate Armour
A complete suit of plate armour made from well-tempered steel would weigh around 15–25 kg(33-55 pounds).[2] The wearer remained highly agile and could jump, run and otherwise move freely as the weight of the armor was spread evenly throughout the body. The armour was articulated and covered a man's entire body completely from neck to toe. In the 15th and 16th centuries, large bodies of men-at-arms numbering thousands or even more than ten thousand men (as many as 60% of an army) were fighting on foot wearing full plate next to archers and crossbowmen. This was commonly seen in the Western European armies especially of France and England during the Hundred Years War, the Wars of the Roses or the Italian Wars.

Not saying wikipedia is the be-all, end-all, but it seems to disagree.

Not really heavier than any other kind of metal armor, maybe 40 pounds. And its weight was distributed around the body, which stopped it from being too encumbering. And there were those who could afford to outfit large companies of soldiers with it.

I stand corrected
Sorry

Also was the guy doing cartwheeled in aluminum armor? That's what most modern re-enactors IIRC wear

Not sure. My experiences with Battle of the Nations guys tell me most armour is steel, but it depends how serious the 'reenactment' is for the thickness. Steel is cheap, after all. If it's Battle of the Nations, it's proper battle-grade steel, because they really go at each other.

A casual google for "reenactment armour" seems to bring up all steel products, too.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Well, I made this at school so it is not a recent project.

Spoiler: The assembly (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Individual pieces. (click to show/hide)

Note, the only parts I didnt make was the allen screws, ball bearings (even though they were cut with EDM), and the dowel pin in the base.

That's technically an action, not a speech... Well it was only a matter of time before I had to write another scene of utter and horrifying perversion.
