Its amazing what people find interesting enough to spend obscene amounts of money on for these hobbies. I don't do it anymore because I simply don't have the time and arthritis hobbles me more than I care to admit. I was a Rebel soldier in the 11th Virginia in the 70's. My daughter is also into reenacting so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree there, but she does Star Wars battles. Yep, my sweet daughter Angela is a Storm trooper for Darth Vader!!! She and her boyfriend's outfits are so good that she has been invited on numerous occasions to be an "honorary" guard for the likes of Spielberg and company. The two of them even took the time to scorch their armor to make it appear as if they were hit by lasers. Interesting stuff. She is deep into fantasy literature and faeries. It takes all kinds to make the world go around!!
