This is going to be long.

Just warning you now.  Let's see they always say to start at the beginning, so the last thing I posted about was Guild Weekend, so I'll start there.  Had to do a couple things Friday before we went to Jon's.  I had to run by the gym and then I had my eye doc app.  The gym went easy, I'm not sure what to think of Cliff,  he's funny but he seems stressed or something around me.  Could have been the fact that my skin was...

And another.

I'll do a proper update later tonight, but the Guild pointed this out to me.... I'm no ninja raider but damn she's right "everything is a hunter weapo...

*insert evil laughter here*

Kusanagi's P90 arrived last night.  Sadly a piece is broken but I should be able to mend it.  Its the attachment from the rail to the scope, has a crack in it, big crack.  Any other time I would be tempted to send it back but the con is a little more then a month away and it would be my luck that I wouldn't get a replacement in time.  This one came with all the accessories, strap, flashlight, scope w/ 'laser' dot, suppressor,...

More drabble

Worked on the skirt a bit last night.  Have the darts in it, which is mainly thanks to the assistance of my mother.  Yes she was a seamstress and yes she helps out once and awhile, and this was one of those things that I couldn't do by myself.  I mean I could have but I would have had to take it off and put it on a thousand times to see if the darts were placed even and enough was taken up blah blah blah.  Having her pull up what...

I is a chatterbox!

I’m kinda psyched, Wizard World just acquired the Atlanta comic con, which may add another convention to my list. (You will notice it on my pending list atm) hopefully they do it in November or next January so I can attend.  I can’t usually get off work in December and even if I could I’m so busy that I don’t think I would enjoy it that much.  ATM they don’t have a date or a venue set, let’s hope they do that quick.  Of course the person who makes all my wigs is in Atlanta… not that I’m like omg I want to meet them but they do some...

Update

Alright, where to start?  I figure bad news first, Kusanagi hasn't seen anything accomplished save her holsters and P90 are in transit.  Sailor V has her fabric ordered and it should be here the beginning of next week.  I just got a note from the person who I commissioned my Sailor V wig from and it will be shipping out fairly soon.  ^_^  I also have a couple picutres of the suprise I got for my Tuxedo Mask.  Yes...

another quick post

I'm gonna have to be heading out the door here in a few minutes, I have a session with a trainer.  Yes I go to a gym, yes I'm going to have an Avenger figure by the time I get my Hawkeye costume done.  Hopefully I'll have a better set of legs for Seras and V too for the con in March... *crosses fingers* Lets see I ordered fabric for V very early this morning.  Cost me $211.  $50 less then my estimate.  Which wasn't bad, by subtotal was $180 something, shipping is what got me.  But that should arrive early next week,...

quick update

Just a quick progress update before I crawl in bed.  I spent most of my evening working on Seras's skirt.  My original idea for the waistband was shot down due to a conflict in numbers and the simple thought that I'm going to want my waist to appear to be as small as possible so adding an extra layer of fabric to the waist isn't really going to help.  So I'm currently working on putting in the zipper, my fear is that when I cut the...

another quick post

Yes I know I've been a chatterbox today but I do want to report on my costumes.  I know I know more on the costumes, but having to write my progress daily kinda helps spur me into getting something done.  So let's see.  I got in and went to work on the masks.  Sanded them down and gave them another couple coats of sandable primer.  His is looking really smooth, mine is going to need more work.  I figure I'll do another...

o.O

Since the story is rather slow today (and I have no interest in starting inventory) I decided to add up what all I still need to get for my costumes.  And OMG am I expensive. Sailor V: Total $445 (and I've already spent over $100) Fabric- $260 (yes $260!  Apparently Matte Spandex is EXPENSIVE!  This does include the fabric for the Artemis variant and the Fox's top since they do a discount over so much but ouch!) Shoes- $30 Shoe dye- $15 Contacts- $40 Wig- $150 (already have $50 on it) Broach- $5 Choker- $5 Headpiece- $5 Mask-...

Progress galore!

Oh I feel so much better I needed those days off and I have gotten quite a bit done.  ^_^  So here goes the rundown: Codename Sailor V: Masks are currently drying a la a coat of sandable primer.  First pic here is after a coat of plastic primer the second is after one layer of sandable primer.   They will still need quite a few more coats and a lot more work before they are glassy smooth but I now am not concerned with...

Progress

Okay I have made a bit of progress on just about every costume, now if I just had every day off between now and the con my costumes would be amazing, but since I don't have that much spare time this will be short. Sailor V has seen the most progress, I worked on the broach and the mask.  Just put a simple coat of poly on the broach, when it arrived it had some minor I wouldn't call them scratches but minor imperfections in the surface. ...
