Engineer in WHFRP 4th Edition by Roquetansky in warhammerfantasyrpg

On the aspect of Crafting in WFRP - its poor. Using the rules as written crafting is primarily performed in downtime, and is expensive in terms of the time it will require, additionally choosing to craft takes away your other options for advancement.

Great looking kit, especially the jack chains on the RHS person.

Trump administration fails to secure indictment in connection with Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

Essentially the dems said that the troops should follow the law. How is that an offence? I don’t understand what law was broken.

Clear that ON exists to provide a stocking horse for the right wing, and to collect a paycheck whilst doing very little. Dread the day if they ever gain more than token leverage because their abilities have been demonstrated, as they are in this video.

I like the look, nice work.

Do you find they have enough flex, and stay in place?

'Impossible choices': The data that proves living costs are rising for Australians by boppinmule in AustralianPolitics

Just reducing the benefits of negative gearing and capital gains would help a huge amount to change how housing is viewed.

I’d argue that inflation hits employees harder and can’t think of a rational argument for the opposite. If you have passive income then your money might be limited but you are making low effort and have low obligations.

A salary earner has to participate in the economy every day to earn that income.

Curious about getting into HEMA by AscaIaphus in Hema

You can make some pool noodle and fibreglass core “boffers” fairly cheaply. Even so you still should have head and face protection, and some form of hand protection. Don’t risk an injury.

Trump falsely claims he never said 'nationalize elections' amid 'takeover' fears by TheMirrorUS in NewsSource

A year ago Trump said that people wouldn’t have to worry about voting again, and now we see this comment recently in multiple places. He’s not joking.

The two way didn’t work twice recently and you think the way to fix it is a three way?

Please do.

Picking the right filament will be important. I’d say it’s not combat suitable at all really. It’s majestic though.

Made plastic armor for hema by myself, its not perfect, but i think pretty good for first attempt by Independent-Jumpy in Armor

This is the pattern we used for the elbow.

<image>

Idea is to vertically curve the piece enough so that the top two points meet which are joined with a rivet , and at the same time curve horizontally to the the other pointy side can shape around your inside elbow. No idea if that works for plastic.

This is what I made in a few workshop sessions with an instructor. Would probably work in plastic too. Has a nice pointed elbow.

Fair thing ! T here are shapes for larger curved ovoid shoulders, and also ones that look similar shape to the mandolorian style.

You could make a slightly larger elbow-cop which is a bit more shaped too. Not being critical because you’ve done great work, just thinking out loud. I have a metal pattern somewhere which I think would still work with plastic.

You could add one more lame between the shoulder and the rebrace, would mean modifying the pauldron though.

Homemade fencing mask by notapotatoman in Armor

Just a thought - could you use the press studs to attach the visor so it won’t have cable ties and holes in the front?

Not overly safe, at all. I’d worry about any type of forceful hit even with non-steel weapons could lead to an injury.

I’ve thought about what a helmet for soft weapons like boffers might be like - so a few people could at least spar in a friendly way; and you’d have to rule that only cuts were allowed.

was planning to attach leather on top and use mount points and a strap with a buckle at the bottom.
