A few more patches being made up for something new I'm working on.

One of the trickiest things with dying your own leather pieces is allowing for the finish.

It tends to make your pieces darker which can obliterate the design.

These ones are coming out nicely I think.

In all the smoke, the noise of the bands, the roar of the engines a whole lot of fire there is always time for a little reflection and calm.

Jury Nadine always manages to capture the essence of every moment like no one else I know. I'm always amazed by the talent of photograhers and how each one can draw something unique from the same subjects.

Dpsiple earned his invitation to the Wasteland Warriors with one of the best apocalyptic samurai costumes I have seen and cemented his membership with this totally badass build he took to Wasteland Weekend in the states.

From a guy who randomly messaged asking for advice on building his own samurai to someone I respect not only as an internationally recognised costume artist but as a really cool guy and part of my raider fam.

I'm also immensly grateful there is someone else who gets all my uniquely british jokes and references.

If you don't follow him get over and press that button.

WITNESS HIM!
Dpsiple is now a full member of our group!

This year at Wacken Open Air we had many Rookies become full members of our group.

We are more than happy to finally welcome you as a full member! Your crafting skills and creativity are absolutely insane, on top of that it is just such a pleasure to have a calm and friendly soul like you among us!

Thank you for your work, patience and attendance!

Seeing as I've had a lot of comments on this story I thought maybe I should ask you lot..

Should I do more patch designs??

What styles would you like to see?

Wacken Open Air 2026 is done a hell of a festival..

I miss my WASTELAND WARRIORS fam.. these two mentalists specifically!

Tim caught these awesome snaps of Wasteland Vulture and I putting the Warriors in WASTELAND WARRIORS.

Bonus use of real scopes on replicas meant we could watch the wasteland stage from the comfort of our very own Choppa!

Me sat here knowing there is only three weeks left until Wacken Open Air.. knowing I have a years worth of crafting to fit in between now and then!

I can't wait to see my WASTELAND WARRIORS fam again!

Missing them so much!
