    The potions are “water” with food dye and food safe glitter. They are really shimmery and really sell the potion illusion.

    The armor is metal! I painted and weathered it.

          Super cool! The pointy topped helm looks way better. Great choice going with that one. How did you build those? Do you have a blacksmithing station at home? A forge?

            So the pointy helm is what is called a Bascinet. They come in a bunch of different variations. The one i have is referred to as a Wenzel Bascinet due to its depiction in the 15th century Wenzel Bible.

            I did not make them unfortunately, but I did paint and weather them. The bascinet was completely unwearable and inhisthoric. I had to do a lot of work to it to make it wearable. If you check my comment history, you can pribably find the wall of text in which I describe everything I had to do lol.

            Also, the helm with the flat top, typically referred to as a Crusader Helm, is a “Great Helm” I wear that one for my crusader armor which is a very anachronistic 12th/13th century setup.
