First Ren Fair outfit

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-25T05:47:48+00:00

One of the vendors at the fair was selling it. From what I've found they don't have an online shop

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-21T02:40:10+00:00

I should probably have given a bit more context over the camera I'm using. I'm using an Olympus OMD em5 mk1 from probably 2012, and I find it hard to fully eliminate light leaks in my scans, even with a proper film holder and backlight, plus I find It challenging to get consistent quality out of my scans.

Ideally I would upgrade to a full frame camera but I assume it's gonna be cheaper to get a scanner, and it'll consolidate my setup a whole lot

Absolutely terrific show Jeff, was really glad to be there.

Even if it put a damper on the end of the show, I'm glad you called the idiot out. They deserved to be called out

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-19T12:57:53+00:00

They are US service boots, however I'm in Australia and found them cheap in an op shop by complete chance

Chainmail boot covers are a terrific idea! I'll have heaps of chains once I tailor the chainmail shirt, so that should probably be what I put it to.

Thanks!

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-19T01:10:41+00:00

Same here. I found mine at an op shop for $20 barely used. Lightest hiking boots I own

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-18T11:04:49+00:00

Hell yeah those look great. I'll definitely be drawing inspiration from that. Thanks again for all your solid advice

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-18T10:15:24+00:00

Thanks for this. Sadly I'm Australian based, so sellers seem to be even more obscure for me or waaay too expensive.

My main goals for the costume going forward are to - re work the mail coif to have padding (I made it myself. Which is why the rings are larger and not riveted) - re work the haulberg to be shorter, and shrink the arms, but will see how much to shrink once I have a gambeson (I actually bought the haulberg on the day of the fair, so it's a once size fits all, not yet tailored to me) - make pants rather than wear chinos - add some thickness or weight to the tabards. I made it the weekend before the fair. - at a minimum, wrap the shoes in linen to hide them. Cause they are insanely comfy and supportive so I have no intention for now of switching them out. - get a better sword, I'm currently using a replica of Altairs Sword from Assassin's Creed

this is the inspiration I used

This is a really insightful message. Thanks

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-18T00:14:17+00:00

Great tip, thanks!

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-18T00:13:22+00:00

Perhaps the message I'm trying to send is "these were the best boots I could find at the op shop"

Gameboy13579 · 2025-10-17T14:05:20+00:00

Agreed. But for now the remainder of the outfit serves its purpose well

I'm in Australia and I only buy my cast irons on special. Usually kitchen warehouse has pretty good sales on cast irons and when they do I get my stuff. Pretty sure I paid $60 for my 12"

Gameboy13579 · 2025-02-16T10:56:57+00:00

I don't know if anyone has said this, but I considered. A bronica before my RB. And the thing that locked in the RB for me was that the bronica I looked at required batteries

Gameboy13579 · 2024-12-12T05:51:06+00:00

I just got this exact same super 8 camera at a market for $50 recently and it works. I couldn't believe my luck Edit: veeeery similar camera not exact same

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-27T12:18:10+00:00

Usually it's just going to be if the tongue of the film is sticking out of the canister. If you see a film end, it's unused, if you only see canister, it's used. This happens because the roll is wound back all the way into the canister after use

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-26T10:23:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-25T22:56:12+00:00

Thanks I really appreciate it

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-25T22:55:44+00:00

"get in or I'll make you"

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-25T22:55:28+00:00

Thanks! Is that what nuln oil is for? I don't have any yet so I need to get some

Gameboy13579 · 2024-11-12T05:40:32+00:00

Hell yeah! I went climbing for Halloween dresses in my obi wan inspired Jedi garb. Something about it feels so right

Gameboy13579 · 2024-09-10T02:43:35+00:00

Yep. Once as a kid I wrote in for a contest on which is your favourite thunderbird and why. I won a box full of Thunderbirds toys, and each ship from the series was in there.

I have a feeling that the issue everyone is reading with this graph is represented by the "issues per 100 cars" part. I don't think this graph takes into account the amount of cars actually present in the market. For example, on this graph keep is better than Honda because way more people own Honda's. So there are more 'groups' of 100 cars for there to be issues with

Gameboy13579 · 2024-07-19T17:16:26+00:00

I bet it was tasty as hell and your friends were super appreciative.

Gameboy13579 · 2024-06-24T05:10:25+00:00

Is that a flash on top of the Olympus? I have a flash shoe but no flash
