But as I soon discovered weapons are the cheapest thing on the market. I spent an average of 20-100 dollars on my replicas,I even got my spiked club [which looks exactly like the one my avatar is holding] on clearence for only $16.99. I found a few helmets and even they were 150 or more. Even a small coat of mail, just a basic chain shirt costs $400 plus, a suit of full plate armour can go for a good grand and a half, and full body chain mail, don't even ask.It was then that I heard about people who made thier own chainmail and it sounds like my only hope.So if anybody out there can tell me how to go about it, where to buy materials, or has any other helpful advice for ye olde geeke, it would be greatly appreciated.Hurry, the other enthusiests are laghing at me and calling me a cheap knave!</p></blockquote><p></p>
