Steampunk – New Products in Production

09/01/2012

After eating our own body weight in turkey, mince pies, chocolates and the odd beer over the Christmas period we are back in the workshop and having a sort out.  At present we have managed to photograph our Steampunk range and also sort out some more Special Offers for you:

Steampunk Inspired Gaiters

06/12/2011

Following yesterdays Steampunk Shako and Mask we have done a version of a Swiss pair of gaiters.  Done in a copper foil based leather but hope to be building a pair in brown today and timing to get a price for them.

Steampunk Shako and Mask

05/12/2011

We are working on some Steampunk items and here is our first (photographed!) effort.  A Shako inspired hat with a basic facemask.  Now we have the basic form we will be working on what we can do to one or both…ideas on a postcard ?

 

Brigandine LARP Armour

22/11/2011

After recently attending a re-enactment fayre we were asked if we had any Brigandine.  After a day of altering patterns and cutting some leather we have come up with 2 versions of a Brigandine – a short and long.   Looks a bit strange compared to our normal LARP Armour as this fastens at the front but we think this Brigandine looks good, and different, and will hopefully appeal to the re-enacter and LARP guys alike….

Enough waffling – here are some pictures of it !

Back in the workshop…

05/09/2011

Well, the school holiday is coming to a close and it is time to return to the workshop to help Tim out building orders and creating new designs and stuff over the winter.

Some work is also required on the website - just fine tuning and sorting out the odds and sods that we didn’t get round to during the season.

Hopefully we will have some new stuff up on here shortly….

Pirate LARP Stuff, Baldrics and Shirts

09/05/2011

Just received a few photos from a customer, he is not a LARPer, just a pirate !

He has just ordered a Wide Pirate Baldric to go with the Double-Gangsta holster, Leather Tricorn and Frilly Shirt.

He didn’t get the rum off us though to complete his Pirate look !

YouTube Larp Videos – Armour and Spear Carrier

20/04/2011

Hollywood has nothing to fear with our video skills but we thought it would be a good idea to put some videos up on YouTube and the website to show how some of the products work.

We have done a Larp Spear Carrier:

and some Lameller LARP Armour:
