Cool, nice picture. How's the new crest working out so far?

It's working out really good. I took everything apart a couple of weeks ago to repair a broken claw and touch up the paint, I also added another tie down point for the torse. :)

You know that DragonLore place has a plethora of sweet dragons! ;)

Thanks Joshua! :)

Well actually they are dragon figures/statues with a bit of basic ingenuity can become crests!  ;)

They have a website?  Is it just dragonlore.com?  I'll go check them out.

Thank you, Sir Brian!  Question- what size is your crest?  I have a general idea of how big it should/should not be, but since you've already got one, I hope you do not mind sharing that bit of info.

I believe mine was originally 15" -17" tall which I cut down at the back legs so it would portioned to the helm.  ;)

Damn, that's big!  I was thinking 6-8" max!  Whew...I'd better rethink this.  I wouldn't want the moniker 'Little Dragon' apportioned to myself.  lol

So who is going to VARF this Sunday and who is going in armor? The weather forecasts mostly cloudy and 80 degrees.  ???

I'm thinking since the weather will be decent, and it will be a non-demo day for us, this might be a good time to roll out the armor. I'm just trying to decide which armor, since my new stuff is almost useable, and I'd have to do a bit of work on it on Saturday to use it. I could always do plate instead (which I almost never bring to VARF), or just armor light and be comfy.

If I do plate, I need someone to help me gear up. Oh... and what sword to wear? :)

Tough choices.

Well keep in mind I was hoping we could do a little sword freeplay in the parking lot or something to knock the rust off my meager skills, otherwise our demonstration duel might be over far to quickly.  ;)

Yep, I'll bring my gear. We'll see how exhausted we end up at the faire. :) Maybe armor-light isn't a bad idea.

No scabbard for it yet. I have that on in the queue though.
