OK, so, we never did decide on whether we would be going to Comicon, and more importantly, are we going to dress up or anything?

I am most certainly going. Costume or not.
I would like to dress-up, but everything I've seen so far makes that a bit expensive. I'm just not willing to invest >$200 in a halfway decent costume. If we can figure out a cheap option, I'm game.

I still want to go as a Viking or Nights Watch, but I am kind of like Rene... I will research helmet options today... I promise.. If we could all get a haub for $60.ish, I can make the shields, if we can find helms or make helms someway, I will make all of our shields myself.

The issue isn't just the helm. I found one on ebay that would work for like $40 + shipping. But it's all the ancillary crap that goes along with it.
Armor (if any - >$50)
Weapon (if you go for anything realistic looking - >$50)
Belt, boots, cloak, bracers, pants, fake hair and other goodies >$50
Realistically, I can't see how you could get away with it being cheaper than $200. If you really want it to look good, you're probably in the $400-$500 range.

Aight, so it sounds like getting all did up may not really be an option for this year then. However, it isn't out of the realm of the possible to start assembling now for next year. Mike if you can still get that 4x4 foot square of Sintra do it. I'd really like to experiment with it and see how difficult it would be to make armor with it.

I'm totally with you there. Mike said he could cut the shields and could do the leather work for boots. I'm gonna start piecing the rest of my stuff together - get a helm, some armor and a weapon. Maybe by Christmas I'll have something to show.

Agreed I will grab that sheet today. Hell we can experiment some, we might go as fucking knights next year if we could fashion a suit from the pvc material.

So, you get that Sintra shit yet? I'm really curious to try it out. If it works, I'd be down for trying to make a full damn suit of armor. Why the eff not. I mean if we have the materials on hand and can develop the know how...
