All your stuff looks very great... but unfortunately not where I'm heading. Real barbed wire is not really my cup of tea.
If you're looking for military simulation, then you're probably right that it's a problem in Germany. Especially with the ideology and visual appearance used by the human Empire... But still, good luck. You might be mire successful with a "private party" approach.

@pommesgabel:
I´m not talking about real barbed wire.... but this stuff looks very real...I´ve seen the wire first time at this year on an military vehicle event.
Its an type of brushed or painted cord, silver-rusty. I stand 1meters distance to the fence.....I think its an real fence...perfect or warhammer
see the pic...



Yes...this is NOT a real wire..the ends of the wire is soft

nice stuff Lt.Watts,.. what materials did you use,.. hi carbon steel,.. ??

[Claus Raasted]

The gear is VERY impressive...
As said before... too bad you guys can't make it here. We'd love to have you come show off your Cadian gear.
And please post and discuss away... the admin is quite far from the flame-thrower - though he likes yours!

@Pommesgabel:harhar, look sometimes on ebay
@claus:
there are many photos for inspirration
@Jan F.:
No, its standard steel....carbon steel is to expensive and I can´t weld this type of stuff.
And...carbon steel is not heavy enough , there is not enough of the feeling of suffer and pain an kasrkin had, if he wear his complete armour my complete personal equipment weights near 35kg...I think it is realistic for an heavy trooper....at last weekend I talk with some german paras, if there wearing the complete Equipment they are nearly similar..
I´dont like only look like.....there must be the feeling of sickness and suffer then its realistic........

Well, for this larp at least, we're more about looking good than feeling bad.

[Lt.Watts]
