Well, here is my Modest Collection of Weaponry and Armor. I've updated this thread to have better pictures and my current display layout:
**UPDATED**
One of the walls of my room. I have a couple of flails, axes, maces, an assegai, an iklwa and a Barbuta. Also a couple of discontinued Nene Thomas Prints:
Left Side of the adjacent wall. A mix of Katanas, various other swords, axes, war hammers and a spear. Also some Nene Thomas prints that are discontinued now.:

Pictures of me in my kits:
14th Century Mercenary
I was a bit tired when I was putting this kit on. I forgot and put on the gorget under the pauldrons instead of on top which helps keep the first of the leather plates flat on my shoulders instead of sticking up all weird. All told with weapons and every piece of armor it comes to about 110 lbs or so total weight. Its not too bad as long as it's not 90 degree plus temperature. I though I was going to die at the one fair I went to where it was 98.
Cavalier:
And finally as a Scotsman:
I went as a Friar at one point but can't find the pictures right now,
