Any reenactors on this forum?

[The Clay King]

Hi there, I was wondering if there are any reenactors / living history members on this forum?
If you are reading this and you are, I would be greatly interested to see pictures of your outfits, set-up etc, which period you re-enact & if you smoke pipes at events.

How long have you been doing that for Dan? How often do you get to do it?

Every day I reenact being a professional artist. Does that count?

Pictures….or no, it doesn’t count.

only if you start sucking at painting!! Otherwise it's too close to the real thing.

nope but I did work with a guy that was really into doing civil war stuff. Weird guy made you feel like he hated you and everyone unless you asked him about the civil war. (American civil war, not one of the many others).

I’m not but I enjoy seeing what you share of your events!

A girlfriend I had when I lived in Suffolk often appeared as a serving wench when the local Kentwell Hall (mentioned in the Domesday book) did their mediaeval displays. Does that count?

"Kentwell Hall pioneered living history in the UK – something for the whole family to enjoy together. Over Easter we shall have Tudors active (in the Bakehouse, Dairy and Stillroom) and Victorians in the House and Tudor Stables. Each portraying aspects of life of their period".

I used to go to those re-enactments in Camden South Carolina. Was always a cool experience.

Nope. However I knew a guy who was heavily into WW2 re-enactment and used to be part of an SS group that did all that sort of stuff. I used to call it the Tom of Finland Appreciation Society Home - Tom of Finland Foundation - https://www.tomoffinland.org/
since they never seemed to do any 'living history' type of things but just get together at a dodgy pub in East London.

WW2 re-enactments would be legit!

@didimauw I'm not actually a re-enactor but enjoy going to see living history re-enactments and looking at learning to sword fight next year.

No but i wanted to get into historicals for wargaming just cant decide on a period. Almost did flames of war (ww2) but didn't have anyone to play with.

Joke has gone right over your heads hasn't it . Why don't you Google "Tom of Finland" when you're sure nobody's looking over your shoulder.

I briefly flirted with the idea of deadball era baseball reenactment. I was in contact with a group nearby but never followed through. I think the lack of baseball gloves was a partial dealbreaker because I love baseball gloves.
