3Welcome to the forums fellow Canadian!
If you have any questions about the forums, let us know! Other than that... enjoy your stay and I hope you have fun!
As for your collection... I'm dying to see some pictures too! It sounds like you are going to have quite a display room once it is all finished. As for full suits of armour, there are a number of ways you can go. You could try and find some kind of display suits that are made of stainless steel? or something that is not "functional". If you are looking for something more functional and don't mind spending the time maintaining the armour then I can recommend a few sites. This site here does a wide variety of armour and arms. They are actually out in Calgary too! They produce some of the finest work i've seen... though it does cost an arm and a leg. Check them out. http://www.medievalrepro.com/
If you want to see some amazing armour, check this page out: http://www.medievalrepro.com/Premier.htm Same company. I imagine these custom pieces are sold only to those people with gold bars.

4Hey Bro!
A Sword Room?! Man, my girlfrind let's me have a wall, and I feel lucky. Can't wait to see some pics. Oh yeah, I'm a Canadian, as well. Canadians love cold steel, I guess.

6Hey Powers of Steel,
I know i'm a bit late..but welcome to the forum...from another Canadian! lol
Actually, i've been having the same idea of making a room for just my swords..but being 23, that plan is a long ways off...so i'm just using my parents' basement in the meantime. lol The idea i was having, for what it's worth, was each wall dedicated to a different theme: Eastern, Western, LOTR, other movies. For the suits of armor, were you thinking all 4 European, or a few samurai as well?
Once again, welcome!
