My 76th Battalion Uniform update
Monday, April 16, 2007

Boots for Daisy (my sister) just got here today from Artcat. Now we'll match. They're the Sears boots with the laces and buckled flap above the ankle, a little on the dark side, but since there will be a good handful of us wearing the same identical boots I'm not too worried.

Striped grosgrain from ebay got here faster than my Sharpe's Rifles DVDs that had been ordered a week previous. Will pick up some brown cloth dye while shopping later this week and begin soaking it. Next I'll need the pants to put them on!

Picked up a sidearm at Walmart (cost: $10): Sig Sauer P228 9mm airsoft pistol. It's got clear plastic on the muzzle and trigger guard which I'm hoping to coat with some paint. Tristan's offered some suggestions on how to paint it, so we'll see how it turns out. If it works well enough and fits the holster from Mircea, I'll be picking up another one for Daisy. It's got a nice weight to it for being plastic (especially in the grip) and not too heavy like it would be if it were metal.

Expecting in the mail:
Unit crests

To purchase:
Dye for grosgrain
Paint for sidearm
Material for scarf
Pants
Suspenders
Shirt
Leather dye for belt

Ya know...I find it kind of ironic one can buy an AirSoft BB pistol at Wal-Mart but Lord help ya if you want to buy video games with "Mature" ratings;)

Still...congrats on the costume acquisitions, Kaele:D
