people have been asking about how long i worked on this. So here goes:
-It took me about 4 hours to pound out the armor with a little help from a mysterious "tin man".
-It took me about a day to do the helmet.
-It took 2 days to paint and weather the armor.
-The logos, etc took al of 30 minutes to design and apply and weather.
-The vest/tshirt took 3-4 hours to hand sew and attatch the sholderbells.
-All the attatchment of the armor, weapons,belts, etc took no time at all.
However, im going to re-enforce the velcro with a sewing machine. At somepoint i'll post pics of the entire costume front and back when i get a chance. Another event is coming up so "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
