Hi Cat, I will try to get some pics up of what I am trying to achieve. It's basically a copy of King Osric's helm from Conan the Barbarian, with just a couple...

Hi, Free's wife here. I uploaded the pic, of the barbarian helmet that he purchased from BudK, into my photo folder called "Dubh's Stuff". We tried to upload...

Hi everyone! I'm new around here and I was hoping to get some advice. My latest project is for a convention I'm going to, but I'm fairly new to costuming and...
