Idea for LARPing armor
To all,
I'm posting this as I read this off of Rachel Newman's FB post and I thought this is a great idea for some cheap Ringmail or Chainmail armor. Here is the article:
Two costume makers LOST THEIR FINGERPRINTS working on The Lord of the Rings.
To clarify, chainmail is a type of armor made from small metal rings linked together in a mesh. For LOTR, two people had to construct hundreds of chainmail costumes out of PVC pipe.
When all was said and done, a total of 12.5 million links had been fashioned out of 7 miles of PVC pipe! As a result of all this tedious labor, the two workers ended up rubbing the fingerprints off of their thumbs and forefingers!

Jeremiah,
Key word "Should" , but the good thing is you got this armor as a back up to the sparkly armor.

On the contrary, my returned to sinister status friend, I will be stacking these. I will be heavy metal on the inside and disco underneath! You may now be jealous.
