Sounds like a great idea; maybe get more of the brethren involved?  Not that I mind ogling Sir James going about tasks fully armored- just would like to see some of the rest of us as well.  ;)

Each year a different person?

How about walking through the drive-through, on a hobby-horse?  Like this:

I'm absolutely open to more people being involved. The original idea was something we were kicking around at VARF over the weekend since I already have a stash of unusual armor photos to choose from, and with summer rolling around and having to do some yard work anyway... perfect photo op time is here for some of it.

We'd need to be able to coordinate photographer / equipment / day / time / location / etc. Once we get past brainstorming, let's see what we can do... so brainstorm on some multiple/group knight activities too.

I'm personally fond of Knight Playing Poker. Get James, Ian, Martin, Nathan Q all in their plate armor playing a few hands at a dimly lit poker table.

I think we have to consider the audience we are open to. I don't know if that's child friendly, not saying it isn't a hilarious idea, but something to consider.

EDIT: Then again it probably won't matter since we are using the paint me like a French girl thing lol

I'm pretty certain there's nothing explicit about playing poker.  ???

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and its probably not that inappropriate, I just have this image in my head of cigars and wisky flasks in the image. So its probably fine. Lol

I think we all could do a Last Supper image to. In fact, we could do many different famous paintings lol.

You think playing poker might be inappropriate but parodying the last supper is ok?   :o

I think you may have those backwards young Aiden... ;-)

Poker is fine.

If we do paintings replication, I'd prefer to do the nearly-identical historical part, rather than a parody for a calendar. Most people wouldn't get it anyway. Simple is better.

Whoa! If the logistics on that wasn't so substantial, I would! :)
