just get a piece of leather and lay over the existing leather part. that way the existing leather can hold the mail but the new piece can be shown all nice like. it would be in layers and know one would ever know. they also sell golden ink fabric markers that you could do some sort of trim on the edges. sort of how I did the design on my masks: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/dragonfirearmoury/images/mask3.JPG  man now i wanna try it ahhahaha.

Great idea on the paint pens! I have a silver one that I used for some minor details on the R2 droid. Didn't think to use one on leather.

Very reasonable IMO.  :)

Yes sir, that is correct!  They've blocked ALL of the good sites- Albion, DSA, BKS, Tinker, CF just to name a few.  But somehow, somewhere someone is surfing porn sites and getting away with it!

I wonder if they've blocked Coral Cache. You can go through this caching proxy by adding ".nyud.net" to the end of the domain name in any URL. Info here:

Coral's up, but when I tried using the 'nyud.net' it got blocked.  Sneaky buggers here at work!  Agreed @ Sir Brian, this site is versatile!

Sir Brian, I'm not sure if it was this thread or another one but you mentioned retiring your sugarloaf helm...let me know if you really mean that, maybe I can take it off your hands- if you're up for it, that is.

Really? - I wouldn't ask more than $115.00 seeing as you can pick up a nice GDFB helm from KOA
for a little more than that. My homemade liner isn't the best but it is removable and washable.
You might also want to make a better method of securing the visor when it is up.
…I am ashamed to specify how I have it now as Sir Wolf and Sir Andrew would ridicule me to no end!  ;)


I can bring it with me the next time you go to the faire if you let me know a day or two before.  ;)
