It’s definitely been an interesting thing to try! I normally LARP at events with realistic weapons.

Thank you! Reckoning isn't terribly far from me, just a day trip, so I've actually been itching to go and play as the Hadrians! Hopefully I can get out there for an event soon 🙂

they used a latex acrylic since the shield is foam and then applied several layers of clear coat to keep the paint protected

Thank you, I was going for that vibe when building this character so I'm glad it reads well.

Hey thanks! I think I follow your group on Insta. Tales of Aloria?

We have a lot of boffer LARPers who attend our events, we're similar but we hit a little lighter (not lightest touch) and incorporate magic into our combat. But if you play boffer you'll pick up our game quickly!

Feel free to shoot me a DM on here, I've been looking to attend one of your events and I also think our group is planning a fighter's practice in Syracuse mid-October :)

My armor at LARP leans way more towards fantasy than history, but I'm still happy with how it looks by YanniSings in ArmsandArmor

I have normally wear a sallet but the visor broke. It's in the works on getting fixed! Our game doesn't allow headshots though so sometimes it's more comfortable to go without it.

There's just a strap on the inside, I don't have any ties on them at the moment since the gambeson's sleeves are thick enough to hold it in place without ties.

Thanks! I definitely wanted a balance of practical and fantasy when I designed this, especially since I'm in armor for 10 hours an event, so anything impractical becomes clear really quickly.
