I figured out something new with the gunblade: I don't actually need the safety pins to be metal nails. A piece of ABS filament is enough. It's not as stiff, but it prevents the thing from falling apart or out of position, at least in sword form. Hmm. I will think about this. Maybe this opens up new options so I can have a more elegant lock after all. (Either way, this is good, because nails are usually forbidden at cons.)

Another LARP another lamp. Weathered this one with different lauers of thinned acrylic paints. The poor adhesion on the glas tore some of it off and gave it an extra grimy look.
