Viking!
I'm making my costume this year.  Last night I made one bracer for my right arm. It's really cool.  I would totally wear that kind of thing around if I could.
 I got a bad-ass helmet, 
LIKE THIS:

a blonde wig
 and a big hammer. 
 
 I'm going to make a fur vest and boot covers.  I'll make a big belt, and buckle too.
I should have taken pics while I was making the bracer... I'll try to remember to when I make the left one.
anyone going overboard like me this year?
