Event Calendar Feburary 9-11 Tourney of Ymir Windmaster s Hill Wake Forest, NC 17 Atlantian Dance Symp. Isenfir Charlottesville, VA 24 Southern Reg. In my never ending quest to find a suit of armor that I like, I have found that it doesn t take an Emperor s ransom to make armor. My favorite medium is the blue plastic barrels, otherwise known in the society as Smurf-hide . While this is a modern medium to work with, it is also the cheapest.
Many people believe that Smurf-hide armor looks tacky, even when covered.
I have for you here, a remedy for you re wallet as well as you re pride. Following are my directions on how to make an affordable coat of plates out of blue plastic barrels. First you must aquire a blue plastic barrel, that should be easy enough. If not, any type of plastic will do as long as it is at least a quarter of an inch thick and rigid. Second, you will need a saw to cut the plastic, a knife, a drill, a needle and thread, a sewing machine, and fabric.
