Any reenactors here?

I went to a medieval festival the other day and really caught the dress up bug for next year, anybody here already doing it, civil war? Medeval? Ww1, ww2. Thought since there's a lot here that do movie costuming there may be interest here for historical costuming...... I'm currently pricing up a crusader period amour for myself and getting the wife a costume

Feel free to post pics of your costume and discuss from any period
Here's a look I'll be aiming for next year, similar not exact

Really no-one, I thought his place would have been a hive of people who dedicate their summers or winters to recreating historical events, as soon as some my gear starts rolling in I'll post some pics and see if I can peek some interest otherwise it's going to be a lonely thread

You're all alone buddy

I'm not a reenactor but I have seen reenactors over at Fort Larned, Kansas do some Civil War period reenactments a couple of years back and it was very interesting.

great movie, but no that's not the idea, more historical plus real armour and weapons

Lol just watched the clip the castle was a lot like that

I wish I could do something like this. Looks fun.

It's not as expensive as I 1st thought, basically for the cost of a couple of statues I can be fitted out pretty authentically. And if I want combat training it costs the price of one figure a year to cover the insurance

I think it would be fun to try some Civil War reenacting.

Unfortunately in my part of the world us civil war reenactments aren't very likely, would love to see one sometime, I would imagine it would be a very loud event

First part of the gear arrived mor on the way

Cool!

I know someone who does civil war re enacting. I'm a relic hunter with my metal detector, but never got in to re enacting.

Relic hunting would be fun too, Australia is a bit to young historically and wide spread for that but would love to go looking for treasure/loot

Some more, taught myself how to sew the aventail on too
