heres a few of my 15 open ended kits. most of which aren't finished or havent gotten pictures of due to no events.
James/Vilhjalmr: what faire do you guys goto?
Nice stuff, it looks like you are a dedicated reenactor. I think to complete all those kits might get pretty expensive though.
Vilhjalmr said:Nice, Seff.
Seff said:Thank you. Waiting for the proper age to get a sword
? You have to be a certain age? Where do you live? Denmark?
Yes, to own a bladed weapon you need a permit, and permits are only issued to people above 18.
My waist? Or my hips?
Hmm, look at the third pic - that is my waist. My belt crawls upwards, it is normally at hip level. Pictures without heads give a screwed sense of proportion. Hold on a minute... there:

Posing in gear.
It's the first WWII airsoft in Denmark, so please refrain from commenting upon the anachronistic weaponry and field gear.
That's my waist, where the combat belt is.

Love the color and material of the cloak! very nice.

Vilhjalmr said:
the cloak sure is. The purple tunic might be. The rest is linen.
No. The pants and underkjortel are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linum . The overkjortel/tunic is linen (for lack of wool, linen was not the original plan) and the cloak is so-called cooked wool.
A looser belt would mean that I can't use it to support my mail - although that isn't much of a problem any more... I'll look into it.
Next on the list is a helmet and leg-wraps.
EDIT:
Purple? You mean brown, right?

Machine sewn, I'm not THAT much of a fanatic (though I always repair by hand, and at least on the pants there are more repairs than original seams left.).
I use it for LARP. It's not high fantasy, and we have a periodic scope of 800-1000. But I am arguably the guy with the best outfit.

ok, brown, the monitor here is seriously shifted towards blue
Vilhjalmr said:No crotch hits? No grappling?
In my larping thing (not really larp, but whatever) we only have two rules: No head-shots (except with **** like javelins and arrows) and no nerve holds or nasty stuff like that.
At my last battle I got shield bashed so hard into the ground I had whiplash for a week afterwards.
Headshots happen, you're not allowed to go directly at the head though.
Part of the problem is that so far, we have had kids as far down as 10 years playing along - and it doesn't take much of a grappling move or head shot to break a tooth or bone on one of those, or at lest make them cry. We just set the age up to 15, so I expect a little more lenience in the rules now.
James: Foam. We have unarmored kids.
James said:Pansies.
No, I commend you. Whether or not you fight with metal, if you have metal armour, you're ten+ times better than almost everyone in this country, even in the SCA.
Yeah, that's what I figured too. It is not like fighting with metal, since you have to have a Hp system, and the weapons aren't weighted correctly, but it still gets the adrenalin going, and that's the main deal.
Another side of it is of course the roleplaying, but that is just improvised acting. It makes the game more fun.
