Figured I'd make a little diary
This is what we are aiming to resemble
Clearly I'm just going for us to be recognisable as there's much we cant get perfect, 1 I'm female and not slim and well endowed 2 hank is just 1 not 4 and he's also brown, maybe silverish clipped, and only 32", 3 I'm making do with my existing cart and harness which are both (very well worn) black
My nan is working on my gladiator style Ben hur helmet which will fit over my riding hat, doesn't hurt to be cautious plus it will keep my head warm no pictures of that yet but I should see her next week for our 2nd fitting.
I needed some arm guards for my costume, so I called round friends until I found someone who still had some old fashioned leather brushing boots with buckles
I think they are perfect for the job
I've also got part of my belt figured, I just need to paint it darker and add shoulder straps I'm going to order a cheap dress in the right colour for underneath and modify it and I found the fleece for my cloak and nan is going to pick it up this week for me
I did a first mock up on the cart this morning, but it was hammering down so this is as far as I got
Its all exciting
