By the time I got to the depot to make a bid, there was just junk left. There was three levels of armour. The real deal made out of plastic. Second rate was the same but no articulation (or ventilation) which I wore. Third rate was foam, which decayed before our very eyes, not before smelling really bad.<br /><br />I commission you to make me a Kamakura era o-yori with really pimpy sode.

I found a re-enacting website a while back with loads of info about how to make japanese armour and thought I might try and make some... or at least a helmet or two for when I finish up my own DBA/HOTT Samurai armies! <br /><br />I just picked up a copy of the movie off ebay but haven't watched it yet... I'll be watching for you!!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.com
