Thanks a lot, Julien!

Well, I'm not trying to excuse myself - what was done is already done, but these straps are as wide as the buckles I've got. If narrower buckles were available, the straps have been thinner also.
The raiser - next time will be better.

Yesterday, as promised, I took some pictures of the sword and rondel-dagger together.
Well, the clothes are not quite appropriate for the region and period, but in anycase are far better, compared with training suits, working clothes or casual everyday wear.

Boris, I applaud your work.
Your Yushman project was frankly art in the form of metal and i cannot wait to see how the helmet turns out

the sword and rondel dagger are no exceptions in my eyes, very nicely executed and everytime one of your project threads has an update i just HAVE to look because it always looks great.

I realise these praises coming from someone who doesnt have much of a fine appraisel for the details isnt weighted as much as an experienced craftsman like julien, it;s been a wonder to see these take shape :)
