This time I've tried something a little different by sewing the zips into the seams. Whilst the crotch zip has worked perfectly, the main zip on the side panel hasn't.
Nothing unpicking and re-evaluation won't harm.

Next time I'm gonna get even closer, with more whacky movements! Really give people vertigo 🤣🤣

My word the paint job on this is freaking incredible

Thankfully not. I still need to do a resin pour on my work top, I think it's the cause for all the niks

For real. I cut out me going nuts cause the back panel got holes in it lol. My vocabulary was quite extensive lol

What you don't see is me panicking like mad 😆😆😆

Back to Sewing. This time round I'm trying something a lil different by putting the Hidden Zip in the side.

Anyone know who the character is yet?

We're going way back to the 90s.....the 9'Aaaaaays!!!

We're back up and running, crafting in the new year. This one is a personal childhood favourite, and also making it out of left over materials. Talk about ya budget cosplays.

Finally got debut Gears of War at a Con. This was 6 years in the making for me, and I couldn't be happier with how it came out.

Naturally doesn't mean we can't look into upgrades 😊

🤣🤣🤣 Listen here ya Hillbilly crafter 🤣🤣🤣

Remade the mold last night did my Danny Phantom Logo. It's Freezing as hell. Woke super early to demold and make the logo before work.

😑 It's still tacky. I forgot basic chem science, that in colder environments it takes longer for things to bond.

Con is tomorrow. Let the crunch begin

#ConCrunch

Third time's the charm baby!!!! All day yesterday I was nauseous, including this morning. Just like when I used to perform on stage, the moment I got behind the wheel my nerves went.

The happiness I feel is something that I cannot begin to describe.

Just obliterated my Robin Staff two days before the con........

*Boots up 3D Printer* Too stubborn to let that pass

Adding clear gloss to protect everything and to give it that shiny metallic look

Me? Mostly Cosplay stuffs 😁

Gears of War Armour is connected. Just gotta pad out the Braces and Vambraces, then we can do small detailing.

LEDS are now installed into the Gears of War Armour. Just gotta connect the pieces and pad it out a little tomorrow.

After that just some detailing work.

Danny Phantom is Complete. But I'm debating on redoing the logo. As I originally casted it backwards.

First a bit of lunch, then carrying on with Gears of War Build.

New pattern, new success. Still very much a novice at the sewing game, but it's all practice, trial and error and learning.

Hey if you've worked for them I don't blame you. No soon as I install mine it's ALL the Anime characters 🤣

The Danny Phantom suit is complete. Still need to make the Gloves and attach the logo.

Boots are sorted. Just got to install the zippers tomorrow. Then we retackle the gloves once again.

Boot Covers for Danny Phantom are under way. Note to self, find a more simplistic pattern.

Making Gloves are the bane of my existence.

Just why do you look so simple, yet cause me so much grief?

This makes me want to restart my Lantern Series so much.
