Boots for Daisy (my sister) just got here today from Artcat. Now we'll match. They're the Sears boots with the laces and buckled flap above the ankle, a little on the dark side, but since there will be a good handful of us wearing the same identical boots I'm not too worried. Striped grosgrain from ebay got here faster than my Sharpe's Rifles DVDs that had been ordered a week previous. Will pick up some brown cloth dye while shopping later this week and begin soaking it. Next I'll need the pants to put them on! Picked up a sidearm at Walmart (cost: $10): Sig Sauer P228 9mm airsoft pistol. It's got clear plastic on the muzzle and trigger guard which I'm hoping to coat with some paint. Tristan's offered some suggestions on how to paint it, so we'll see how it turns out. If it works well enough and fits the holster from Mircea, I'll be picking up another one for Daisy. It's got a nice weight to it for being plastic (especially in the grip) and not too heavy like it would be if it were metal. Expecting in the mail: Unit crests To purchase: Dye for grosgrain Paint for sidearm Material for scarf Pants Suspenders Shirt Leather dye for belt

Got my coats and vests for Daisy Shen and I. Daisy was over tonight with my parents and I was able to deliver her custom made Tristan exclusive coat, vest, and belt pouch. She liked them. :) Still no word on those darn holsters that Mircea sent over. I don't know what the heck happened, but I think they got lost. I feel terrible that he spent all that time working on them and they never got here. He told me that he's sending over another set. Next up will probably be scarves. I may buy extra fabric and see if anyone else wants some. I know TequilaMatt (from the PA Browncoats) may want some. And for some hilarity. Even though it's not firefly related:
