# About me

Me as "Jørgen Björnson", a 1067's viking warrior / skald.

He was exiled in Normandy after the defeat of "the Battle of Stamford Bridge" (1066), where Harald Hardrada, King of Norway was killed by saxons armies.

He is the character I mostly use during re-enactments...

Most parts of the equipment are home-made (armor, gloves, parts of chainmail, gambeson, shield...)

J'aime bien ta galerie.

Je voudrais faire de nouveau modèles 3D en rapport avec les vikings, j'aurais quelques questions sur les boucliers vikings, pourrais-tu y répondre?

carlviking In reply to Beowulf71 [2015-04-21 17:38:27 +0000 UTC]

Pas de soucis, quelles sont tes questions ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Beowulf71 In reply to carlviking [2015-04-21 22:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Je me demandais, est-ce qu'il y avait des bouclier avec le tour en fer. Si oui, est-ce seulement sur la face extérieur ou est-ce que le fer est replié sur le rebord du bouclier?

Si non (ou même si le fer est possible), quel autre matériaux étaient utilisés pour le rebord des boucliers? Et quel technique pour joindre ces rebords au bouclier?

En fait, le plus d'info sur les boucliers vikings possible serait vraiment apprécié. Des liens, des photos détaillées ou même des vidéos. J'ai cherché, mais je n'ai pas trouvé grand chose de vraiment satisfaisant.

Merci

Un second site pas mal concernant la fabrication de bouclier de reconstitution, plus ou moins historiques: www.hurstwic.org/history/artic…

Ils y décrivent aussi beaucoup d'élément sur la façon de porter ces boucliers, ce qui pourra peut être t'aider.

Beowulf71 In reply to carlviking [2015-04-22 17:15:59 +0000 UTC]

Merci beaucoup, ça va m'aider énormément. J'avais fait beaucoup de recherches, mais ces sites m'avais échappés.

carlviking In reply to Beowulf71 [2015-04-28 04:19:44 +0000 UTC]

Pas de soucis: n'hésite pas si tu as d'autres questions.

Globalement, pour trouver des bonnes références, ce qui marche bien, je trouve, c'est de:
- Faire les recherches en anglais
- Inclure des mots comme "historical", "archaeological" ou des époques: "viking age", "ninth century"...
- Passer en mode "images" et chercher les shémas habituels des archeologues, ou des photos de "restes"

Bon courage dans tes projets !
Et merci pour le Watch. :) (Smile)

A Priori, peu de boucliers cerclés de métal à l'époque viking à ma connaissance.

La plupart du temps, les boucliers de reconstitution sont soit recouverts de cuir, soit de lin épais encollé.
Dans ce second cas, le bouclier est soit cerclé de cuir, soir de "raw hide": de la peau tannée "brute" qui durcit en séchant. (s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/135… )
Ce tour est soit cloué / riveté soit cousu au travers de trous percé dans le pourtours du bouclier (4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9fRYmt0eJA… )

Sinon, le bouclier est réalisé à partir de lamelles de bois léger et souple (sapin, aulne, peuplier, tilleul...), peut être chevillées les unes aux autres.
Un rendu que je trouve très bon, même si j'ignore son historicité : www.bonecu.com/oc-content/uplo…

Je te conseille la lecture de cette page qui regroupe beaucoup d'informations archéologiques sur les boucliers vikings: members.ozemail.com.au/~chrisa…
On y parle entre autres de bouclier cerclés de petits rectangles de cuivre ou de bronze se chevauchants.

Bon courage, et n'hésite pas si tu as d'autres questions.

In fact, your drawing really hit me as a perfect representation of the cheerful chaos of Asian streets.
The mix of modern buildings and older one, the omnipresent air-conditioning blocks, the small stuff-shops everywhere and signs... signs everywhere. O,O
I am totally in love with Taipei, and this scene could perfectly be one of its street !

Is not a problem Carl! forgivable is suppose,but as artist
a person can have several "character" in itself :D (Big Grin)
I give an example of myself...one day, I can be a "pagan warrior"- in another Victorian gentleman " a matter of a muse and mood ;) (Wink)

Je vous souhaite, beaucoup d'envie et d'inspiration dans tout ce que vous faites!
