Just picked up (well, they should be shipped soon) half a dozen "red dot" or "lazy dog" or "yellow dog" bombs, designed to be cannister dropped from airplanes in the 50s and 60s. The cool thing about…Continue

spray the back moderately with chrome paint…"

Maeryk replied to Sqn. Ldr. William Barr's discussion Black Powder"That's right.. I had my buck, and I think he was in white? Sheesh.. my memory of that war is kinda fuddled. It was the first time I did two full weeks.

Maeryk replied to Sqn. Ldr. William Barr's discussion Black Powder"I thought that was a buck. In fact, I think I've held that one.. if that's what you had at Pennsic with you. "
Maeryk replied to Sqn. Ldr. William Barr's discussion Black Powder"Yep. A lot of the dealers/manufacturers are doing it that way now. They sell you a non functional prop. If you make it into a gun, that's on you.. and they are absolved of any reliability if you blow yourself up with it.

Maeryk replied to Saelia Bacon's discussion Steampunk photoshoot locations"So far it's only been in my home studio. I have a desire to do some at the PRR museum this spring, though. Lots of classic high iron there that fits the "backdrop requirement" but isn't too busy to detract from the main subject…"
Maeryk replied to Sqn. Ldr. William Barr's discussion Black Powder"if you do the proper amount of research, it shouldn't be an issue. Much like peace ties on swords, some cons require some things. At one point there was a "safety" for a black powder gun around.. (and by "gun" i mean bore…"
Maeryk replied to Sqn. Ldr. William Barr's discussion Black Powder"the "dress code" varies from group to group.. some are quite nitpicky, and some are good with the 10 foot rule.

Awww thanks for the friendship! I like SCA people I promise! I met an amazing friend recently who is helping me with my Art History/Library Science degree and she does SCA ontop of steampunk. She simply amazes me because I would have never guessed she knows so much about Turkish textiles. Cheers!
