It's not very hard actually. Most people can't exactly make a Maximilian plate, but a simple full plate is fairly easy to make if you have the tools and workshop.

Yea, dad made full plate like almost 20 years ago. Its crude, not "finished", but workable. And its just steel plate, not stainless steel.
The hardest part about making armor is shaping it, the assembly is fairly simple.

Fingered gauntlets are so sweet.
A cheapish way of making chainmail is just with pliers and 8mm round spring washers, but the problem is that they're a bit too heavy and someone with a Rondel dagger can pretty much just stick you with it.

Since you have all been so nice and since I'm very happy with my new haircut, here's a few pictures of me. They're not great, had to take them myself, but it's something.
My new cat o' nine tails.
I is evil.
My chin will destroy you all.
Yay porn. If you want to blame someone for the censor, I'd pick Ymmot. Sorry for the messy room, I'm moving in. And no, I'm not tanned, I just have a naturally strange skin tone.
(Pictures deleted for strange reasons)

I like the haircut. It looks good on you. You look like you've come out of a classical movie with a touch of Wicca.

Also my X-wife has gone knitting mad and made me an octopus (actually more of a hexapus) for Christmas. Of course I immediately named it Ultros Jr. and sent photos to everyone. So, here he is in all his glory!

Thank you kindly everyone. =)
Ymmot: Nope, no discount, but 20 euro isn't too bad. It covers the rest of the body as well, with an opening at the crotch. *cough cough*
MGK: Guess that added a new aspect to me, heh. RetroCyberPornWitch.
SHG: Oh no!
By the way, you're gorgeous.

Ah...I guess they used the material from the chest to make the whole thing fit around the rest of you...and then apparently still ran out of marterial...such a shame.
Kidding, kidding. You're a treasure.
*Salutes the squid/hexapus.*

You're a treasure. I know, I generally refrain from buying second-quality clothes, but the Chinese girl was very persuasive. Naw. *blushes and hugs*

Of course he spits fireballs, he's just too laze to actually do it! Makarova (M.I.A), oh, stop it you, I get all blushy

Am I on the Imperial Guard Message board or the Imperial Guard Massage babes?
Most unexpected set of pictures ever... Don't know what else to say... erm!

You shouldn't ask yourself that until you see me in uniform. I don't think the Imperial Guard Message Babes is a good business plan though. I'm taken, Galatea is in Africa, Siren, Fluffy and Cate rarely post, and it would be amusing and very violent if someone tried to exploit Melissia.

@spinning Head Guy - when you go to bed at night, do you put your beard under the blanket, or over the blanket? (Just out of interest) Makarova (M.I.A) - don't go out in the snow like that! Like the haircut btw. Edit - do nips get auto-censored?

Why would he pull the blanket up to his chin?

@req - because it's cold.
@nicholasakira - so it's natural to have smiley faces on your breast?
