>>10936832This last weekend was the big bongland fest, so now I'm back my current project is fixing everything that broke over the event. I need to order some new buttons for my coat and doublet, derust and protect all my armour, do some minor weapon repairs and all that jazz. I've got a 13th C game coming up fairly soon, so my next "real" project will probably be making some new soft kit for that. While my existing stuff is fine, it's a bit larpy and generic, and I'd prefer to make a new tunic with brighter colours than my current one.
Kit progress. I've added some stuff to the arsenal. I have a dress sword now for when I wear fancy clothes, because it will work better than the big swords for that. The purple elvish blade is a cursed weapon I'll carry on campaign, for the occasions where I might need to fall back on my weebness because it looks and handles like a katana without being one. The buckler is a small punch shield that I plan to use in tandem with an incoming studded club for if I want to get boffer-y in a fight, with omni strike surfaces not beholden to blade orientation. The fancy hat is a fancy hat for the aforementioned fancy clothing; the pic doesn't really show it but it's purple and gold, because while I'm not expressly stating that I'm going to try and propagate a Slaanesh cult into this fantasy LARP, I'm probably going to propagate a Slaanesh cult into this fantasy LARP. The character's religion is basically gateway Slaanesh, and he's quite delusional already, so it's not a long leap to make.I need to go and buy some tin snips to finish trimming the chainmail arms. My little wire cutters are struggling with the steel gauge. At least I know for certain it was built as advertised, it's definitely not aluminum.More to come as I build up.
