Wizard Con 2016 is taking place here in Tulsa.
A huge thanks to arkady for getting my alterations done quickly. Thanks Carole.
Also I must give massive props to jbdubz for helping me get my holster, sidearm, and blaster complete in a day and a half marathon build, I made it to the Con "complete". Thanks Jeremy.
Had a couple of issues of course. Lost chest display due to wiring failure, and my gauntlet hose was trimmed too short to use by yours truly.
All in all, had a great trip, and trooped for four hours despite losing the chest lights, which are definately one of coolest parts.

Looks great. Only issues I see are plate spacing on the chest. Collar is too far away, diamond off center, and ab could come down a little. But, again, that looks great. Only a dented helmets regular would notice plate spacing.

Yeah, had issues after losing the power wire solder on the chest display, then in turn tear down completely and attempt to resolve.

Spacing was off after that, but the show must go on. Believe me, when I look at the pics, I see it too.

Yeah, man, everything turned out great. I wonder about putting either some clear silicone adhesive on your connections (after you re-solder). This will give them a little rubbery play yet keep them from coming off. Just a thought. I might need to do that too!
 
Exactly Mike.

We have great Vendors on here so I was able to get with Josh, HotPockets , and he gave me an upgrade on the solder joints,and added a quick disconnect too.
