Looks good, guys!

I still don't have a portable hole. I think we need to find some squires to keep all of our banners upright.

Looks good, Sir Wolf. Is the banner cap period?

Sir Edward, I don't have a portable hole either. I have directions on how to make one, but I lack a welder and heat source to forge the rings..

Those are great looking banners Sir Wolf and Sir Brian!
Sir Brian, where did you find checkered bias tape? That's pretty nifty, I was actually planning on making my own bias tape from scratch for my gambeson, but I've been reluctant because of how much hair pulling that would cause.

Sir Ulrich, you sir must have dainty hands!  ;D I kid
Oiling and maintaining your mail should be something you enjoy and take pride in, as it's part and parcel to armour responsibilities.  Besides that, it builds character ;) (I kid again)

beyond that, still having a SNAFU on the home front trying to find the battery charger for the damned camera.... guess I'll just have to post lots of pics in a row!

Well I bought a roll at Michael's Craft store but when I checked for more today they didn't have anymore but I'm sure it is still being made. So my banner won't have a bottom border. :-\

Haven't been able to post pics yet, but I restrapped my greaves, stole the buckles that didn't match the rest of the harness, cut up a "D-Ring" belt and made it into a sword belt (I needed a 3rd one), and tweaked my helmet and gorget to fit better - it's still not good, but, it's better. Hoping to get Allan to make me a new one before VARF.
