Well, it seems I have picked up the gauntlet and have accepted the challenge which I had set before myself. I am going to start to kit up again for armoured combat.... insert laughing here..... yes ,yes I will do this. why? because I miss the fun that I had with my lord on the lists and also its way more fun to fight then do aerobics, and since I usually want to hit the instructor half way through an aerobics class anyways, why not use that ambition for something good, like hitting my lord hunny instead? I just picked up a new plastic sword hilt and a length of rattan yesterday in Borealis. With there not being any regular fight practices out here right now , I've been loosing the drive to go and do rapier like I use to and with there not being as many armoured combatants out this way aswell I feel a need to ensure that both myself and my lord can play when we do get the chance. Its not fair to him that we go out and all he does is sit and watch or that he dons the rapier loaner gear instead of his armour and rattan sword because theres no one else out at the time doing armoured combat. Since he has been wonderful in coming out and letting me hit him I think that its only fair that he gets the opportunity to have fun hitting me too.... Of course I realize in any other context that would sound really bad , but ya know what I mean , hehe . As the re-kit projects commences I'll try and put pictures up on how its going.
I also have gotten the idea mulling around of doing a kit with a theme of the Valkyrie , with the find of the small ornament of a Norse Valkyrie ready for combat I have to admitt that would be a cool kit for sure. Now just to figure out how to do the hair on the back of the helm...hmmm, metal? , horse hair? ideas, ideas... and an apron dress that will fit over my armour too.... once I figure out how to put a picture on this blog that is .... I think I need to try the picture thing later, I'm getting close to yelling "THORA SMASH!!!" at the computer.... ugh!!!
