  1. Thanks for all the kind words, its good to be back. Now I have to go wrestle my slops from my wife.

  3. When I made my Carbide canon, I mixed a little bit of sand in with the paint for texture, works pretty good.
  4. Cool, thanks for clearing that up for me fellas. When I first saw the thread I thought like Sex Pistols meets a sona.
  5. Um..... what is steam punk?
  6. First off let me start by saying what the hell happened to the pub? I was going to reply to everyone on the Drunken Sword Fight post, but it seems to have disappeared. So this is a reply to all those who had questions. I have been good, making babies and buying houses, well making a baby and buying a house, and all that other grown up stuff that I have been running from that eventually caught up to me, but I love it. I haven't been to an event since Ojai 07, and just recently went Southern last weekend, and had a blast, saw Kent there, or Diego for all the old school out there, he's doing good. The better half didn't feel like going to Southern Cali events while pregnant, but now he is old enough for nana to babysit. So I am back. Missed you all and can't wait to see you guys again. PETEE!
  7. First off what the hell happened to the pub, I know its been awhile, but Jeez? Second, a little farther south and you could have really had the need for a patch. Nice Scar

  9. I have been looking for this dvd everywhere, for the longest time. Any one have an idea where to find it?
  10. Ok, I need some help, looking for large ornate belt and or baldric buckles. Any Ideads?
  11. To each his own I guess, like I said reality is relative, what may be fun to some, is not fun to others, what real pirate is to some is not what a real pirate is to others. Classify if you must, but I think that there is just to much gray space to lump it in to two groups, for me at least. If two pirate categories is fine for some people, well then cool. Being from the west coast we don't get too many living history events, dealing with pirates at least. I do however live near the garment district in Los Angeles, where they have all sorts of material for really cheap prices.
  12. I don't know I guess reality is relative. I still take "Hollywood Pirate" as a derogatory remark, even if it isn't meant to be, I don't know why, just me I guess. Maybe because, there are a lot of horrible looking costumes, that came out in some films, or maybe that the common public conception of a pirate has been around well before the first silent film had been made. And to be thrown into that lot kinda puts me off. True I do this for fun and since I suffer from ataraxia I could care less what someone thinks of or has to say about my kit. But if someone at an event says "Thats a hollywood pirate, he doesn't look like a real pirate", I ain't gonna give the guy a hug. I don't get offended, but thats kind of a dick thing to say. I don't really classify peoples kits, to me it looks good or it doesn't, "to me" being the key words. In mister Pyles defense, I have alot of his art and most of them are what the safe assumption of what pirates looked like. If we do need to put "Jack Sparrow and Howard Pyle Pyrates" into a classification I would say that "pirate myth" is a better term, not saying thats not what they looked like, but its debatable. Cheers
