Once again, late for 2022. I sculpted a new old god, worshipped an old one, carved some land and painted my teeth. #sculpting #cthulhu #oni #norse #pagan #resin #coldcasting

I had a full on morning with some of the @suffolkswords group doing HEMA practice. After two hours of dagger and sword work from Fiore’s Armizare, we had some fun with a sharp on different objects and it’s harder than it looks. #hema #reenactment #suffolk #swords #longsword

A quietish Sunday afternoon reading some of @RebellionJason’s book. Some really interesting stuff in here.

@CorrugatedCava1 Knight fever?

Feelin it

Stumbled on a shop selling copies of @helleborezine so picked up the latest two issues as I’d not got them yet. The corn exchange in Leeds is an amazing place with some really cool shops.

@Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords Richard III was found under a car park so which monarch is missing from this area?

@dr_monkeyface @suffolkswords We don't speak about him.

Can someone from @Royal_Armouries please check @dr_monkeyface bag, coat, shoes and pockets when he leaves. We can’t guarantee he hasn’t walked out without Henry VIII armour stashed in there. #royalArmouries #oceans11

@Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords You’ll never take me alive. Like this poor soul you trapped in there.

@suffolkswords @dr_monkeyface We considered it. But we're pretty confident he would struggle reaching them... or getting out before our Museum Assistants managed to grab the handling weapons...

@biglesp New-ish display. Not new-ish prop. I think it’s screen used.

@biglesp There is now. It’s new-ish I think.

I’ve died and gone to Heaven. Which ones can I take home @Royal_Armouries ? We need some more steel at @suffolkswords #swords #hema #reenacment

@PaintingGoblins @Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords Won’t mind if I borrow a few then.

@dr_monkeyface @Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords That's all the spare stuff that was lying around in the hundreds and there's loads more out back haha

@Necron1967 @Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords Bad joke but appropriate

@dr_monkeyface @Royal_Armouries @suffolkswords That's Armoure.
