Chainmails
I made some
FIRST - DO NOT TAKE MATERIAL THAT IS LIKELY TO RUST!!!!! THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IT!!!! We have consulted with a professional chemist. o Really, really, really, use only the thing Zigmar told about - "Hut megulvan", is is cheap and soft and looks great AND DOESN´T TAKE RUST!!! It is sold in every "Tambur", just ask for 1.2 mm. Don´t waste your time on something else. o we made an 1.0/0.6 chainmail, for me (1.70, not skiny, not fat), long enough to cover what we all want to save in the battle
and up to the elbow, iron string (FOOLS!!!!). It took 2 people 3 month of work, weigths 7.5 kg and has about 14,000 rings. o Do not use east/sarmatian/japanese pattern. It looks ugly and is not strong enough. The best is four-in-one european. Do not use "royal" pattern, experiments have shown that it gives only 60 percent advance in the armor strength, being twice as heavy. o For the 1.2/0.8 string you will need not less than 8,000 rings, but probably mucj, much more. o Come to rakevet-shishi and ask Rabby! o
