Summer is Coming!

And Summer means outdoor activities. Last Autumn I discovered a Family LARP group in Svendborg, and started participating in their 'Vatnua' campaign, taking place in a Forgotten Realms inspired setting.


I have a lot of LARP gear from the time around the start of the millennium when I arranged an indoor fantasy campaign for young people, and as I quickly fell in love with the 'Family LARP' concept, I decided to start up a project utilizing our rather large garden/yard (more than 4000 sq.m. with various levels, lots of big trees and hazel bushes, a camp fire hut and two additional camp fire sites).

Today I have prepaired some 'gold coins' (Gylden), and earlier I have been doing some 'copper' and 'silver' pieces (Shillinger and Thalere).




I also got this little thing for the Human Faction. The old King is dead, and the throne is vacant (yes, I'm also preparing a throne).





Well. that's all for today. Stay safe out there!

3D Souvenir Coin Display

During our vacation in France this summer, quite accidentally we passed very close to Azincourt (yes, THAT Agincourt!!), and I took a short detour from the main road to actually visit the place.

There is a very nice small museum there, and I bought a commemorative coin/medal (it is a thing in France), as it was the only small souvenir I could get (I have a shelf for small kitchy souvenirs).

I have several of these from earlier vacations, and I have never really gotten them properly displayed - but with my new 3D printer, that is going to change!

 I found this coin display stand on Thingiverse, and it takes only 14 minutes to print, so it is an obvious choice for this purpose.

I need to unearth the souvenirs from my vacations with my parents many years ago  I am certain there are some more of that kind of coins among them!
