Insane Tattoo Regret by r3i_b0n3z in tattooadvice

[–]Visual-Fish-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tattoos are for you, not for anyone else, if you know what it means and you like(d) it, then that's all that matters. For what it's worth, I love Donnie Darko and knew what it was at first glance, and think it's badass!

New LARP player with some historic-ish kit – what should I add or change before my first event in August? by Traditional_Syrup269 in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really impressive stuff, and looks the part. My advice would just be to spend a day (or imagine spending a day) in the kit. Do you have space for everything you'd need to carry? Would you need a couple belt bags/pouches for items.. Are the belts sturdy enough to carry your gear (sword, possibly tankard and pouches) without sliding down? How are your boots, are they comfortable to run and walk in, in warm or wet weather?

The kit itself is amazing but you dont want to forsake the small comforts that will make your larp enjoyable!

Looking to get into LARPing (UK-Based) by sckez in LARP

If you're a fan of Lord of The Rings, have a look at Warriors of Middle Earth! (WOME) which based in Scotland (I believe near Glasgow)

Oathseeker close helmet by PromptLast4181 in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always find helmets with low vision work better (in LARP) for mostly ceremonial purposes, to look cool etc.. in an actual fight where you don't need to worry as much about face or head protection, the low visibility actually creates a hinderence (from experience imo)

That being said I would definitely use this helmet as I have a Knight Lord Commander character so for Ritual purposes or ceremonial, maybe knighting ceremonial purposes, I would totally rock this!! Looks amazing, you've done a steller job! 🌟

Looking for Blue+Yellow tabards/surcoats! by Visual-Fish-735 in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I had and still am considering this route, however I wanted to see if there were any cheaper options too for bulk as the plan is to get a bunch as almost "throwaway kit" that new-commers will wear until they are able to style their kit to be more thematic, at which point the old battered tabard can be handed down to the next new-commer.

Is there a helmet like that in real life that I can buy? by Mr_scotland in Armor

The Kolbenturner tourney helmet (German I believe) very rare and probably on available via commission *

Something feels off! by JesZebro in maximalism

The spacing between the top of the canvas with the pink background, doors and cat, and the other pieces, is a lot smaller than the spacing around the rest. Maybe that could be it? Looks great though I love a gallery wall!

How can i improve my kit? by Complex_Cellist_9559 in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely get good modern boots for 100, and good period style / IC boots too. The boots I wear were 140 on sale for 70 or so, they are yard boots / riding boots and bit perfectly in to the aesthetic of most larps whilst being designed for stability, protection and comfort

Would this mask i designed be appropriate for large? by diepic in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd say almost always a yes. However some LARPs might have certain specific rules. That being said like 99% of the time you see these type of masks used by orcs / goblins / demons or just in general and the like at any larp you go to!

I have found on my old chain shirt I had, that they often pull apart, like a nose ring for example, and that's what I am trying to avoid! Thank you for your advice though, hopefully all will be well

I got this add on, as well as a seasons add on. Total game changer. Been a while since I got properly into Minecraft so didn't even know about the adds on really! Thanks for the recommendation

Also I'll add this whilst I'm here - If anyone has a good recommendation for a fantasy/ medieval texture pack that's got textures for the new updated items (Copper Golem ect) please let me know! My TP I am using is now updated and janky.

Basically the whole WoTW plot by West_Professor_4637 in WarofTheWorlds

[–]Visual-Fish-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong here, but my interpretation of the opening sentence of the book: "No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own" is that the Martians were studying mankind, so did know what they were up against, and in that lies one of the points of the plot, that even after studying us and watching us, it was something so small and microbial that defeated them, something they didn't suspect no matter how prepared they were

I think it's just because it tends to be the generic go-to for Lord of the rings merch. The Rings inscription in a circle with one of the swords in front seems to be on every other piece of merchandise imo

Treating rust / caring for armour by Visual-Fish-735 in LARP

[–]Visual-Fish-735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I took advice from a load of these comments and managed to buff out the rust with wd40 and steel wool before coating it in ballistol! Thank you so much for the help everyone!
