you have no idea how much it actually amuses me to be called a heretic by you Matt.
And I know the stainless is not appropriate for doing the true historical re-enactment, but my primary focus is to have the armour available for My church at Christmas time and to be dug out every so often for the larp that legend(at least has it) was named for you. So the low maintenance of not having to chase rust is very appealling.
Also, where I'm at, I can get stainless sheet from a local junkyard cheaper than I can get Mild from my steel distributor. It's weird I know, but that's what I've found. The junkyard I go to rarely has mild steel except as heavy plate, so the stainless(often from commercial kitchen builds) works good for me.
Thank you for both your advice here and for the Legio Website. It has also been a great help with getting these suits together.
