I'm trying but ebay is not helping.
The rest is easy, I have enopugh bits for full cowboy or full military so I can mix and match an outfit, but I'll pick up bit's over the month to make it better, I need a holster too. hang on and I'll link you a hat I have an eye on.

I reckon I'll go for something like this

then hope it distracts from the rest of the costume

I don't really know what that is
But I've heard Chompy's mention it, so I'm assuming it is deeply nerdy.

I'll have to see if I can get hold of a boot holster or something

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 5 Apr 2012, 23:59, Reply)

you could probably make something, if it's that small.
I'll be getting a proper .45 and that will need a good solid holster, not lest because it's about a foot long. those bugger's ain't cheap.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:01, Reply)

i do have a little dagger
with a scabbard, perhaps I could convert that to a boot dagger if it's small enough
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:02, Reply)

Assumiong LARP safe?
boot is good, or garterbelt.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:06, Reply)

yeah, larp safe
bit big for garterbelt
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:08, Reply)

Boots are easier to get to as well, depending on the skirt.
I'm annoyed that I probably cant take my multi tool or most of my real tools as they are too close to potential weapons.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:12, Reply)

I've seen someone do
larp safe tool kits for surgeons - reckon you could make some larp safe spanners and things no problem
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:14, Reply)

Yeah, I know.
I just object to re-making the wheel. Maybe smaller spanners would be OK....
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:17, Reply)

larp spanners would be throwable, mind

OK.
Boots, they look better in person

HatI'm considering, may need work
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 5 Apr 2012, 23:48, Reply)

OK, boots look good
hat seems cool, too - what's your background? where you from? ie, why that hat?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 5 Apr 2012, 23:49, Reply)

Yeah, undecided on that.
Could have some military experience of could just like military kit, rather like I do.

Why the hat, I wanted a cap that would look 'period' and the colour worked too, but not 100% It might just be a hat. I have an old leather 'cowboy' hat so could wear that but it seemed less engineer than a cap.

it's a mix of western and chinese, I also need to learn to swear in chinese before October.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 5 Apr 2012, 23:57, Reply)

I suspect there will be a lot of cowboy hats around
I've not thought through hats, yet. I'll need one, just in case it's sunny, plus hats are the best bit of a costume
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 5 Apr 2012, 23:56, Reply)

This is it wanted summat different.
I recon I'll get one of those and either try to make it non military and grease stai=ned or see if I can fake up browncoat insignia of some kind.

Then you are wrong as well as a hippy.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:13, Reply)

oooh, could work
we don't really have a side as such - probably lean towards independents since we're a bit maverick. Stint in the alliance millitary would mean we had some potential inside information on how they work. When you booked were you from a core, border or whatever the other one is planet? I went border, but mostly for the points balance
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:08, Reply)

Border.
Grew up on a religious cult world escaped pretty young and spent the next couple of decades drifting and surviving, so service with one army or another and some merc stuff would fit. It wouldn't involve any loyalties, just picking the stronger side.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:11, Reply)

sounds solid
as usual, I've not thought through my background in detail yet. Still don't have a decent background for the Egyptian I've been playing for the last couple of years :(
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 6 Apr 2012, 0:13, Reply)

I will, but I'm more interested in te personality
the rest can be made to fit.

OK, so a blue version of the hat might imply aliance
or just go grey for neutral.
