Sengoku Daimyo.com - Latest updates

[Please Delete]

I want to let people know what is going on with SengokuDaimyo.com. At the moment, I'm working on cleaning things up. The site had a major hiccup some years ago, and never fully recovered. I know that one thing Hiraizumi-gimi was working on was to try to get patterns back up, etc. To that end, my first order of business is to try to fix what links I can on the site, and deal with minor issues, such as formatting, where appropriate. I'm also updating each page with Hiraizumi-gimi's authorship information. This way, if we are able to host others' articles in the future, we can capture who authored what. I'm also going to keep an archive of the site as it was as of Dec 2013, so that if there are ever any questions, someone could go look at the original site, untouched. I'm loathe to change his original text too much, though you may see some new pages pop up if it seems appropriate and if it appears as if it would help comprehension and use of the site.

Eventually, I'm hoping to add more to it, such as filling out the clothing sections, and perhaps more articles for the miscellany. There are several articles that Hiraizumi-gimi had written, or translations he had done during his studies at college, that I would like to post on the site as well, if possible.

I'll be enlisting the help of several others in this endeavor, so that this won't be just me. I'll be reaching out for help.

All that said, if you see something on the site that we need to fix, please let me know. I'll be answering the e-mail for [e-mail], or you can reach me here or at [e-mail]. Either will work. You can also reply to this thread if there is anything you think I should know about.

The links page has already been updated, with broken links removed as best I could. I don't necessarily have all of the new links that I could on the site.


Thank you,

Ii Katsumori

Josh,

If you need anything let me know.

At this point, I'm going through PDFs to see if anything that isn't up there is just in a file that is named something non-obvious. Otherwise, the initial edits are in. I'll probably consider more as we get further into the new year. Most likely, though, I'll need help with PDFs, as I want to keep then similar in style to what Hiraizumi-gimi had done, so if anyone can help, I'll send you some info on what is needed and credit your work on the site.

Some new and or additional images would be helpful, if it is possible to replace or add some images and you are inclined to do so I can provide some.

It looks like the pdf for the armor chest (gusoku bitsu) is missing or down

Other missing PDFs on the Men Yoroi page:
happuri
yodare kake

As was suggested in this thread by @ishiyama, we could start a library of armour-related CAD-files.
I have just finished a .dxf-file that is based on Effingham-sensei's iyo zane-pattern which I could provide, along with other files that I will create in due time.

Cool.

At this point, any missing files appear to be missing--so if you find a broken link, those are the files we need for the site. I'll eventually be able to catalog them, but I'm working on something else at the moment.

Alright.

As I'm planning my armour with the dangly bits in hon kozane, chances are very good that I will also create .dxf-files for those - most likely the Effingham plates, as I'm going for a tosei gusoku. I don't intend to disturb Noble Plastics' business, but I'm sure there are people out there who will want the plates done in metal, or who live outside of the US and don't want to pay the shipping for several hundreds of of scales...

Regarding this issue: can someone confirm if the hon kozane shown in this pdf are the same size as the Effingham plates?

[Kurodachi no Mykaru]

I am not certain, but I'm fairly sure I have the happuri pdf on an old hard drive. I'll see if I can't find it and get it to you Ii.
