MERF Birthday Photo Contest!

[Greg]

Working on it. Found a spot that I think'll look nice on a jaunt in the mundanes with Shadow yesterday...just have to find a moment to get back out there by the 15th. Should have a tiny chance this weekend.

Groovy

I wish there was a way we could encourage some of the newer folks to get in on this...

[Greg]

Howzabout "Hey...some of us posted photos in jeans and t-shirts with cloaks when we first started out; most of you have a HUGE leg up on that. Show us what you've got!"

[Ursus]

I'll up the ante and add a 4 x 7 oilcloth as a runner up prize.

[Manveruon]

Aw dang... that makes ME want to participate, haha.

[Elleth]

Ha!


I still think I'm going to hold off until I have at least a couple decent pieces put together, BUT...

... in another day or so I should have a pretty darn cool project to show off.

[Manveruon]

How exciting!

[Ringulf]

Got my new helmet together so I may try something with it and some thrown weapons or multi axe drill, you did say that a video would work?

[Manveruon]

Heck yeah!

[wulfgar]

I'll have to try to get something up this weekend.

I'm nowhere near Ranger standards but I'll play. Until recently, I played a paladin in Dagorhir but I have switched to a scout in Amtgard. I'm working on more rangerish garb and I got a lot of ideas from this forum.

My tunic and hood are from Linengarb. Originally the tunic was white and the hood red. I dyed them green and brown. They came out a bit lighter than I wanted but they work for my purposes. My next step is to swap the black hosen for brown. I'm also wearing some black and green greaves and bracers. Now that I look at the kit in the photos I think brown would look better - I may eventually switch them. The bow is a modern fiberglass bow (Bear Firebird - I chose a youth bow so that the draw weight will be legal for Amtgard).

Looks like my pictures don't work. Here is a link to the photos on my blog - http://larpwardens.blogspot.com/2016/03/to-wilds.html

First off, welcome to the forum! Keep at it, you are certainly on the right track and look great.

Absolutely love that shot, Greg!!!

WELL THEN. That's one helluva photo, my good man! BEAUTIFULLY done! I'm totally jealous.
