blackjohn Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 And can we have some pics of chicks dressed as green Orion slaves girls??? I always thought that would be a cool costume for uh... Halloween... yeah... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Capt Grey Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Back to the costumes - do any of you have outfits that are on your "to do" or "wish" list for the future? I'd like to put a Gryffindor costume together (with a little help from Alivans.com), along with any female costume from SW. The storm trooper outfits look so neat, but I'm sure I'd end up claustrophobic in one. I've done both movie versions of the Hogwarts school robes, so I'd be happy to answer any questions, Cpt Sophia. And which "female" costume are you referring to in Star Wars? There were females in all roles (including some women in Stormtrooper gear in the original trilogy): Jedi, Senators, Royalty, Pilots. The problem with armor is that it is difficult to wear for long periods of time and there is some bruising involved where the pieces pinch (aka monkey bites). If you get claustrophobic I don't recommend it because the helmets feel close after a couple of hours. Also, armor requires a certain commitment because it comes untrimmed and un-assembled. Even for my Jedi General arm/leg pieces I spent about 40 hours - which may be why I haven't done the torso/abdomen pieces yet. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
blackjohn Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 An old re-enacting buddy is into the Victorian English Big Game Hunter Gig... He has a whole camp set up and everything. I must admit it is pretty freakin cool... Did that guy take his camp to MTT about two years ago? If so, I saw it when I was there with the Old West gang. Their camp was amazing! Cool, I didn't know your wife re-enacted. I've also been tempted to do 24th with the Zulu War guys. Martini-Henry's were affordable last time I looked. Too many neat things to do, not enough time, nor money. Hey Ed, are you at all familiar with Space:1889? The question could steer us off-topic, but I've heard of Space:1889 LARPs, and I was wondering if you have heard/seen/done any of that?

Guest NEGRO PIRATE Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 here's an older shot from my performing at ren faires like so many of us i have very few of myself in full kit regardless of period here's one of the lad and i last fall as we went to samhein(halloween) now thats just ridiculous.
Fox Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I'm aware of Space:1889, even vaguely familiar with the concept, but I've somehow never got round to actually playing it. Neither have I ever come across any Space:1889 LARP, but that could be really cool. I've done some fantasy LARP but had to give it up (got VERY fed up with people complaining that I wasn't supposed to win because I was just a level1 gurgle-grunt or something while they were a level53 Archmage-warrior prince. Who couldn't fight to save their life). I'd definitely consider giving Space:1889 LARP a go though. Martini-Henrys might be cheap enough, but have you factored in the price of a bayonet...and some guts behind it?

Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Got a couple of PM's asking for more info/pictures of Free French stuff... This was event we hosted at a Boy Scout camp in Virginia along the James river. We had 5 total FF troops (but 2 were part timing it for the weekend) and we were up against about 50 German troops. The scenario involved a downed pilot that both sides were trying to find. The Germans other task was to find the Free French base of operations and to capture/eliminate them. The FF forces were tasked with disrupting supply lines and setting ambushes. The first night of the event, we had set up a French Cafe/Cabaret in an old building. The Germans were drinking and eating and they thought that the "scenrio" would not start till the morning. About 12 midnight, during the height of the German celebration, Two FF members bursted into the caffee, threw Grenades and emptied Sten and MP40 Mags into the Partying Germans. Needless to say, the Gloves were off after that! By the way, my wife really isn't a "re-enactor". She just wanted to come out and see what the fuss was all about. While, she had a great time at both her events... She doesn't have the passion for history to make it a hobby.

Christine Posted September 10, 2005 Author Posted September 10, 2005 See and this is why everyone thinks you and Scurvey Sea Dog are one in the same. It's those comments that make us all wonder. If you want people to stop thinking that way, stop with those kind of comments.
Capt. Morgan Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Awesome costumes, all! I'm jealous! I've got to find a scanner... I've got my stormtrooper armor, pirate gear, Rev War Marine, Civil War Marine (US), Spanish American War Marine, WWI Marine, WWII Marine, (is there a pattern here? lol), and I'm working on a Marine from the war of 1812...

Capt Grey Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 LOL. You sound like me, Capt Morgan. Too many costumes, too little time. Especially since the Harry Potter movie-makers have changed all the costumes (again!) for the new film coming out in November. I now have to make a new Professor McGonigal in addition to my son's Harry. And then there are the Halloween costumes that my kids want: younger son has settled on Jedi robes (thank goodness, I can do that with my eyes closed) but older son wants an outfit from a video game that is not out yet (Kingdom Hearts II). Nah, no pressure... Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
tishsparrow Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 i think kingdom hearts II has potc in it... somewhat on topic... but anyway, i have my colonial gown to do, tonight, it has the overskirt cut out and thats it. it has to be totally done by tomorrow, and im really hoping its gonna be a little cooler tomorrow, because im going to be walking around cape may (i think thats where it is) in four layers. and the only petticoat i have thats long enough is polyester. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND MAKES A PETTICOAT OUT OF POLYESTER!!!
blackjohn Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Martini-Henrys might be cheap enough, but have you factored in the price of a bayonet...and some guts behind it? I have my share of fears, but I can honestly tell you I'd have no qualms over standing my ground, bayonet fixed, and waiting for that final moment. Cheery thoughts, eh what? Ooo... found one more pic I could post... but instead, I think it's time for some shuteye. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Capt. Morgan Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 We need more holidays where the wearing of costumes is the order of the day...

Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Here is a picture of me (and my group) going out of the Ft Bragg Jump Towers... German style head first. We had a pretty large group of SF guys stop their cars and get out and watch us. In a totally unrelated incident, A German paratrooper (my Brother) searches some captured Brit SAS.
