Can anyone point me to where i can get knowledge about uniforms and weapons. I am intrested in PIP and would like to attened. Where would the ammuntions and such go. I have never cleaned my rifle and am planning on purchasing 3 at PIP. Is there any differnt way to cleaning your rifle. I am also intrested in sort of a spanish theme as i am mexican. How far do you guys go when reenacting out of curosity. Hope i am not treading toes.

The best place for clothing and knowledge would be under Captain Twill and of course check in Plunder. Im sure the others will be along to welcome you to the Pub and to answer your questions or point you in the right direction.

Welcome!

Not all of us here do re-enacting. Some just have an interest in pirates and history. I do hope you find the forums helpful for your needs.

For questions on clothing as they pertain to PIP, I would see the related threads under the Pirates in Paradise forum as well.

Or you can look at the photos posted under you in your garb in Rabble Rousing..some really great stuff there.

Welcome to the pub :)

I see you've already pointed to the right sections for the reenactors, so I'm not going to repeat other members.

Hope you have a great time here :)

If.n ye've done ACW re-enacting, have you ever seen the soft-cover books by Osprey Publishing (www.ospreypublishing.com) ? They have a HUGE selection of soft-cover booklets (about $10-15 each) on prtty much ANY historical period. Their Pirates series (4 booklets, I think) is fantastic, and all the books have a color-plate section; very useful for outfit ideas! You can find them in any good hobby shop that carries military/historical plastic-model kits. or bookstores that have a large military section, too.
