It's a kind of pleather I WISH I could find more of. I've got barely enough for one more jerkin...

I just noticed that I didn't get any full length shots (must've turned out blurry) But I hand sew all my outfits, the swords are sheet styrene that I layer up like plywood and then shave down a bevel with a utility knife, sand and paint. I've been gathering beads as well, to use as pommels and grips, but Hal's swords are G2 I guess you could say. I started out using wood, moved up to plastic, now I'm tossing beads into the mix.

That gold braid is exactly that, easily procured. Same with the buttons on his tunic/vest deal. Gold beads with gold trim shoved in to make an attachment point.

Thanks for the props, guys, I definately will keep them coming.

Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
