/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This is a LARP-thread, and you are free to discuss everything related to it.

You can see the picture, and related to it, i would like to discuss Landsknechts and renaissance. Some questions:

Marching and pike formations:

Do you have enough friends to practice marching in formation and how to operate in pike formations. What sort of online resources are there for these sorts of activities?

Instruments:
Related to marching. Where do you buy/how do you manufacture your period drums and well, what sort of other instruments are there for these sort of things?

Armour:

Basically, if i want myself a Burgonet is a private order from a blacksmith pretty much the only choice?

I would also like to see more like that picture there. Clear pictures of renaissance-armour.
