You're just jealous I wear it better, slavfag

>reprogramed/hacked (and actually working) vending machine that was on the side of the martian rebel scum.
I fucking love it. Please tell me he was either painfully helpful/cheerful, or totally sarcastic.

Only thing I would have done, is make a black fabric box"screen" where you could paint your face in a angular "hologram" fashion.

I grew up with La Befana. Imaginea drunk old woman dressed as a witch crashing your family Christmas party to throw a sack on you and beat you with a broom while the adults laugh.

Years later, I found out it's traditional to invite a spinster/widowed aunt of a neighboring family to be the La Befana to your kids, so they wouldn't know who she really is.

Fröhliche Krampusnacht! Grus vom Krampus!

A coif with an acorn or muffin, chaperone, or bycocket.

That's fucking disappointing. We have pic related, but they're getting harder to find, only come in pistol, and (pet peeve of mine) has the lock on the wrong side.

that said, the spring is really easy to change out for one more powerful.

There was a team that tried to register their heraldry as two black lightning bolts in a while circle...

Exactly what it says on the tin: fairy tale/fantasy-horror themes just before the Revolutionary War. There are worse things in the forest then just wolves and brigands.

>>10044427
YES. I really want to get one of the muskets and bayonets, and review to see how they are.

>>10044365
I understand inclusivity and such like that, but I just can't suspend but so much disbelief. You don't see my fat ass trying to be a willowy elven prince.

>>10045028
Just like everything else, and all depends on the group that you play with. too many people think that they're only able to play with the people that are in their specific area code. Find the group that meshes with you.

Happy turkey and genocide day, nerds.

I'm asking around now. I'm trying to find direct contact information with some of the local SCA. They will be the people to ask, and won't be as cliquish as the bohurt community.

>>10037095
I absolutely adore your kits! Congratulations on the nuptials.

>>10036348
Ah. I remember you now bro... Im sorry man, I dunno what shipping would be like for you from American craftsmen.

>>10036343
Looking like your trying for 15thCish continental. Next big question: Where are you? (US/Europe/Australia etc)

>>10036327
So what kind of armour are you looking for? Like, got an image or idea?

>>10036182
>>10036186
Armstreet is ok... If you buy in person. ONLY in person.

What exactly are you looking for? Whats your budget?

>>10036183
I am in absolute awe of their work, and love the write up.

>>10036185
>>10036228
I would be as generous as saying 50 for their purpose.

>>10035673
I kind of doubt it, considering the fact that I was working last night, and have been to an SCA practice in the past 3 months.

Besides that, I would have beat you like a harp seal.

>>10034739
Seconding >>10035050. We'll happily critique.

>>10035023
Facts.

>>10034439
It depends... Compare the fashion of the year 2018, and 1918. That's literally a century of difference, and yet the information and cultural exchanges between those dates and your dates, is much less.

>>10034092
Now we're getting some more narrow.

Your next step is to pick a specific century.

For extra credit, narrow it down to the first or second half of that century.

Clothing specifically for weddings isn't something that you really see until the 17thC, outside of extremely rich nobels, and even then, its not what we would consider "wedding clothes", rather than just an obscenely fancy new gown etc.

As Hungarian says in >>10033067, The Medieval Tailor's Assistant is your best starting point, but if you can at least give us a culture/country, and century rather than just "pre 1400's", we can provide more suggestions.

It would also help a lot to know what your spouse is wearing.

Picture is a mid 14thC wedding.

Warwick Davis is an avid reenactor. That's actually his hobby.
