Looking good. Well done.
Just one slightly niggley point from me. I notice you are all wearing your belts over your sword baldrics. This is a modern 're-enactorism' and actually finds no support in contemporary depictions, which generally show baldrics which are sufficiently short not to be able to be passed under belts, or when shown longer either pass over the belt or are worn without belts.

It may seem unstable at first for the baldric not to be held in place by a belt, but you will very quickly get used to it. I stopped passing my belt over my baldric about twelve years ago, shortening the baldric at the same time, and have never experienced problems with it.
