maredudd1066  in his gorgeous new kit - at Raglan Castle, Wales. Congratulations, tomodachi, you and your big nodachi and Samurai Bunny Slippers have Created a most excellent Anachronism!

Look at the breastplate - he did a Niô dô!!!! In a Zen reversal of the rippling Greco-Roman sixpack, nio do imitate the emaciated physique of ascetic monks.


And this is Katherine from Far West, who came home from Pennsic and got better pictures for me than the ones she offered me last week.

I have to say I am super digging these pictures!

It makes me want to try something new :)

Twice now I have misread that as "gorgeous new kilt". But the armor - and especially that breastplate - look amazing!

Thanks for the kind words. The kit took a while to come together (and as always there are bits that I would do differently another time). All the bits I got right are directly attributable to Effingham-sensei's website; all the bits I got wrong are my own fault.
