In my 16th century landsknecht gear (in English service) - the photo doesn't do the codpiece justice, I can balance a pint on it.

All I can say is, it's a good thing I don't live in England. With so much history, I wouldn't know what to do!

Most of my real costuming pics are photos, and since I don't have a scanner, you won't get to see me in a blue shirt with Vulcan ears!!! :lol:

We'll just imagine it instead...

I know what you mean about history in England, I have a lot of difficulty restricting myself. I've now got half-decent kit for most periods between about 150BC and 1945, but I hardly ever use it except for the odd event. Take my 1066 gear: helmet, seax, daneaxe, shield, spear, tunic decorated with hand made inkle braid, hand made shoes... and I last used it in 2000 for...the Battle of Hastings! My trouble is that someone says "Hey Ed, there's a great event coming up at..." and I'm too weak to resist!

Wow is that cool! Did you use body make-up or is that some kind of body stocking? That coloring would be perfect for a Haunted House room I'm planning...

Speaking of which:

Eh... but I hate to see a fine thread get abandoned... and with thousands (hundreds? tens?) of people on this forum, some others must have some decent costume pics!!!

Here's another of me, not decent at all!

The Battle of Clontarf, 1014.

I'm in the very back, in the middle. I got to hold the "magical" standard, so I got to die.
