For those of you who don't know me. My name is Ben Streeper and I have been making armor for a while. I had a nice little shop set up in my barn behind the house. A long time ago we used the barn to make levels with my uncle, as time moved on and he passed away the barn and its tools just kind of sat. After hurricane rita the barn was not in the best of shape but most of our tools made it and, it was a good area for armor making. This started our little adventure in costuming. Many costumes have been made in this place but last week (the night of my birthday) after the rain it got down to 28 degrees. Something that you don't see very often in south east Texas, and the roof of our barn caved in. It's not the biggest deal because no one was in there, and no one was hurt, but almost all of my costuming stuff is/was in there. I now have to make many new molds of armor pieces and have to repair my 6ft statue (as he was damaged) I also am trying to salvage my muckle which may be lost to me. I do have some armor pieces I have made and hopefully I can mold/cast those to repair the statues, but I may have to just build them up with bondo/ fiberglass and carve. I will let you know when I have made new molds for those of you who were interested in armor, but my first priorities will be trying to fix/ replace my statues. Sorry for venting......
Tip:
Don't leave your stuff in a barn that has been through a hurricane in the cold after the rain.
