Favorite recent thing I learned about global markets in everything: if you are a Hollywood/etc company and need a lot of suits of medieval armor in a hurry there are a variety of businesses in India which very much want to make your acquaintance.

Yeah. I hadn’t thought about it, but it absolutely makes sense that if you need a bunch of movie armor, there are places you can go for that. It sort of surprises me that the places are in India, and it apparently involves “Blacksmiths followed by cargo containers” rather than local rental houses, but that’s the global economy, I guess.
Bonus:
What series of fascinating events in the world caused an entrepreneur in Sri Lanka to say "Space orks yes, vampires yes, Millenium Falcon yes, imperial Japanese navy destroyer no problem, Duke of Wellington, no, #%I# that guy and #*%(#% his 28mm scale horse."
