Irrespective of the subject, there is always someone on A.F.L with the correct or useful answer.

I'll ask a couple of people I know who might be able to help. We bought a lockstitch machine off the wife of a bloke who used to work for the forestry commission. In his spare time he made latex weapons and suits and his wife made fantsy wear - mostly leather as the used to play "Dragons,Goblins and Fairies" as Bruce put it, at the weekends.

Bruce's band played at their wedding - which was in field over at Rothley. Camping available - hippy food bus(vegetarian)only and a huge beer tent. We turned up in a Rolls Royce that we had borrowed off a friend as Bruce's sister had got married in the morning and he had driven the wedding car for them. Bruce said it is the only vehicle that he has ever driven that was worse on fuel than the Jag V12 he had when he lived in London.

Is that the one in Hastings?

Knowledge in a concentrated form, as found here at a.f.l will provide an answer to any question. Ergo (or ego), there's a lot of bored smartarses here...

Stoke. I think my mate bought a sword from them a few years ago absolutely amazing craftsmanship don't know whether it was worth the £100 or so he paid to stick on his wall but it looked and felt brilliant

Leather and latex ? For playing "Goblins and Fairies" ? Thats a new one...

And you believed him ?

Steve

Are you looking for "museum" or "munition" quality stuff? The former tends to be more ornamented, and (paradoxically) thinner & lighter, but more expensive.

There's a long list of links to manufacturers here:

We used to have a Goblin Teasmaid when I was a kid.

Might be the same company as there was a place in Hasting selling replica swords and stuff. Also sold airguns at one time, I believe - that was Bruce's excuse for going there anyway when he was looking to buy his Theoben Rapid 7. Got it in Brighton in the end when we were on holiday.

Went to his wedding in a field at Rothley - most were dressed up as what ever fantasy being they played. All sorts there. People in armour, Ladies in long dresses, some with wings - One went dressed as the Kurgan from Highlander, druids etc. Bruce's band played at the party in the evening after we'd had a banquet in a huge marquee. This was after they'd ran round the woods pretending to cast spells at each other and got married of course.

Any luck yet? E-mailed Chris and he's trying to sort out a couple of contacts.

Nikki,

Got a few leads .... got to get the tape measure out and see how much fatter/thinner I have got in 10 years ;-)
