ok, a 'local' royal guard has offered to make a forcepike(just a different state of australia...but still from Terror Australis Garrison, so i have the pike sorted

i will be going into the city tomorrow to grab those gloves and get pics to see it they are passable or not, at least in short term ...

cool

i already checked with the sotre that refunds are posible...especially when i mentioned what the gloves would be for (helps when the store owners are star wars fans)

so i'll get a pick onto here by the end of the week

and if needed, i can return them

the final items i need to complete the rots guard i have been working on is a pair of boots...but also now after reading the CRLs, it looks like i need to get a different pair of gloves, cos getting leather gloves was difficult, and all i knew was that they were red, i found a nice pair of gloves ...
