Opening weekend MDRF
SirNathanQ:
Thank you for the kind words, and to you Sir Brian for posting!
Yes, it's great not having the dreaded bingo wing. But boy did that kit try to kill me with the heat!
I guess I forgot the Baltic Crusades were a bit cooler..... :P
Sir Patrick:
Looove the new surcoat, Sir Brian! And Squire Nathan, I never stop marvelling how one so young has such a nice kit!
Sir Brian:
Thank you Red Knight and I agree Sir Nathan's harness is most impressive, all the more so when you
consider his age! :)
Here are some pictures from Labor Day visit to MDRF. I am really starting to like my "light-armor" kit.
Despite getting pretty drenched in the afternoon the steel had a good coat of oil and no rust formed after
wiping it dry and reapplying the oil when I got home. ;D
Sir William:
So they let you in with the Faire swords...excellent to know! Now, I just need you fellows to remind me how you made them so I can craft mine!
Sir Brian:
You'll need:
A SLO with a hard scabbard.
A dremel tool with a cutting wheel or hacksaw.
A kit of quick hardening epoxy.
Cut the blade off approximately 3" from the crossguard and another cut approximately 6" from the tip.
Liberally smear the epoxy onto the top 6" section blade and drop it down into the scabbard.
Bang the scabbard a few times to ensure the blade is all the way in.
- This is your counterweight for the hilt.
Next liberally smear epoxy onto the 3" section of blade with the hilt and insert it into the scabbard.
Let it setup overnight and it should be ready for MDRF!
You will then have a Maryland 'special'! ;)
