Kit Update and a gift from Taurinor (Pic Heavy)
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 10:40 pm
Just make an update with some of the additions and improvements to my kit, which includes a gift sent to me by Taurinor.
Been trying to add some more of the pieces indicative of PJ's Rangers of Ithilien, thus the black face mask.
Usually the hood and mask are down, and the mask just sort of sits like a scarf and keeps the sun off my neck. The bow is new. I got it for cheap on ebay because I needed a bow with a lower poundage for Dagorhir. It's a "finish it yourself" kit, so I sanded, stained, and sealed it myself.
Best pic I could manage of the full kit so far. You can see a bit of the tabard layer here (not finished, still need to add a trim to it) as well as my attempt at boot covers.
Here is the pouch that Taurinor sent, which I love dearly. It is deceptively roomy inside, and it will probably be where I keep my mundane muggle goods safe. I cannot thank him enough!
On the other side I'm carrying a horn and waterskin. The waterskin was another cheap ebay buy, so it has a few modern bits which I'm going to alter. The red nylon rope I'll switch out for something more appropriate, and I'm devising a way to cover up the plastic bits with either brass or horn.
That's about it for now. I have a few more additions in the works, namely the quiver. More to come!
