Hello from Colorado

I have been wanting to build a costume for a long time. Well I turned 30 a couple weeks ago and thought "I ain't getting any younger". I was going to start with an easier costume, but then I decided because my hair cut it would be better to choose a character that wears a helmet. I have done what I think to be a TON in the past few weeks, but I have been trying to do it on a budget, and I have found this is an expensive hobby, so my costume will not be 100% screen accurate.

I also LOVE making timelapses so I have been doing those as I go. Please be gentle on me. I am really looking for a Target Boba Helmet because I don't really want to make a paper mache helmet. Should I start a "Project" thread elsewhere or should I start it here? I have already made the flight suit, flak vest, chest, shoulder, and waist armor (currently letting paint dry). I still need to make the gauntlets, knee pads, and back armor. I don't plan on making a jet pack anytime soon. Thanks everyone.

Awesome, can't wait to see the time lapse.

Here is the first video. I have about 7 videos at least so far. With several more processing. I changed my camera angle after the first 3 videos to help get a closer look. Ohh and before I forget I jokingly added music to my videos at first. So enjoy the christmas music...
