Hoping I spark some more interest, or at least questions..
Suppose this makes me an Arjos now

X3From The Blacksmith, d'Arthez and The King for my Keltoi reproductions and dressing up.
I'm always around here lurking in the shadows; not as easy as it sounds when wearing this much shiny iron :)
Re: EB reenactment/dress-up.
That is a brilliant outfit. You need a bigger moustache to go with it
I went to a halloween party two years ago in a toga, but that doesn't cut it.

The shield rim took ages to form and hammer, otherwise its just sawing wood and painting leather. The maille was a second hand thing i bought, but arrived more as a pile of links than anything..just seperated it into sheets and reattached it into a comfortable shape and added the shoulder doubling. Took a long time to sort out, one of those things where your mind wanders as it seems so simple, but you cant let it because keeping the 4 in 1 pattern is complicated. Helmet is a roman one, according to the sellers at least, and arrived coated in crome, that took a couple hours to sort out. Scabbard, shoes and clothes were simple enough (after finding authentic material to work with that is..) metal fittings on the scabbard were a hammer and welding job however. Spear was easy enough to make but sword took weeks.. And finally, the research to make sure it was all done properly took a long time as well, they dont have the stuff i needed at regular shops or libraries... Was great fun to make and learnt many skills in the process so i can definitly recommend trying :)

Re: EB reenactment/dress-up.
You made your own sword???
What, properly, with much banging of red-hot metal on an anvil?
Let's see a pic of it unsheathed, please!
Re: EB reenactment/dress-up.
i wish. no, twas taken from a defeated foe in battle though!
(had the blade made for me and built the hilt and scabbard myself, i have no forge so only work with cold metal im afraid)
