How much gear have you collected?
  All of it- but still keeping an eyes out for anything that strikes my fancy.
  Some things - still looking for the details and/or essentials.
  One or two things - not much but it's a start.
  None - I haven't even started.

LARP gear, clothes, assesories, wigs, weapons, etc.

I'm already starting to get mine. The first thing is my wig. Clothes vary, but that doesn't mean I won't keep a lookout for something I can use for a costume. As for weapons, I might alter a water gun XD

I've got a few bits and bobs. Mainly a few swords and some generic gear. When it gets warmer I plan on making some armour - which will most likely involve a whole load of plaster strips, a good amount of duck tape, and a s**t tone of liquid latex. Needless to say, I will post pics if and when I get around to doing it.

Oh, Saskia - if you're looking for a LARP friendly gun that actually shoots stuff, you might want to get some nerf guns. They shoot little foam darts that don't hurt at all. I've currently got two of these revolver pistols and spray painted them black with silver highlights. http://www.phiredup.com/files/admin/nerf.jpg

I've seen pics of people who have done some pretty snazzy paint jobs on them. 3nodding

I know! I went on Etsy and Ebay and you will not believe what people come up with!!! I saw the Nerf guns and they look so kool!!! I have to design mine first before I choose the model and paint, though. whee

Turns out I didn't have enough money for the wig and it didn't match the style of my LARP character so I might just make a mohair yarn wig :3

I'm trying to look for boots. No luck yet. Thrift stores have a lot of stuff, though!

Ooh! Both awesome sites you have there! I bookmarked the ArmStreet one. 3nodding

I've personally been on the look out for a chain mail shirt and coif for a reasonable price. But the only ones I've seen are huge and very expensive! sad

I know the feeling!
I've bought a chainmail shirt of a friend of mine who plays the SCA and it was sooo big on me.
I ended up sleeping in it o-o
which was fun b/c when plot did a night raid I was ready to go.
I'll hit up my armor buddies and see if they know where the best chainmail is.
