It happened that my sports club (into professional fighting sports) had a sponsor which produced paints, lacquers and apparented. I designed some ring entrances according to the profile, enjoy :) What you see is cardboard, synthetic leather, paint, acryllic paste and some metal settings. The gorgon heads on the armor and shields are ceramic painted with acryllic dye.

Blimey! Nothing like that happens in Wales! (The local rugby club occasionally do a naked walk through Rhydyfelin when they're drunk!) Your costumes are fantastic!

The materials don't go over 100 E per costume, but indeed the work... none less than 10 days. But you should have been in the venues when we entered, that's worth millions :)
To have a taste of how it looks live check a highlight:

Friendly warning: there's a serie of gruesome KO-s :)

Love the costumes - you have worked very hard.

I bet you had a real sense of pride when they walked to the ring.

Well, a promotional character has to be nice also in terms of personal appearance not only costumes :)
Girls were fond of gladiators since the beggining, hehe

I've only seen them do it twice! Dunno why, whether they've won or lost. You can hear the women calling out (you can use your imagination what they shout!!) as they walk down the street, then I rush out the front to get an eyeful:mf: !!!
