Bucs37DK Thanks! That was one of my 1.0 visors.
Austin3991 Thank you.
BlazedStarbon Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy it.
- UPDATE -
Alright, gotta say few things first. I made a
wise decision for once.
I'm not going to work on the chest piece and I'll be leaving it just how it is. I'm aware it'll look bit weird because it's so different, but... BUT I wouldn't make it in time anyway.
I have around 10 days left. I still have to do/finish legs - one thigh and two shins AND two shoulder pauldrons. Oh, and assemble the shoes.
Not enough time and chest piece is bit complicated. I'd need at least a week for the chest piece alone, because I'll have to remove one part from it and make it from scratch again. Strip the whole paint - and those are
huge parts, both front and back.
Add details and then paint... (oh and not to forget two small parts that go on the sides on the bottom of the chest) The chest piece is way too big project to even think about working on it now.
And I don't want to make the mistake I did last year - rush things
trying and hoping I'd get it done in time - not get it done in time, regret rushing and have to do it again because I'm not satisfied how it looks.
What I'm doing with Palmer now is 2.0 and final. Don't want to rework anything on the armor anymore, I'm satisfied how it looks now and this is what I intend to keep doing.
Gamescom is something that I'm curious to see, but it isn't the most important event for me. What I'm most hyped there is actually FanFest which is a closed event and we were been invited there. Other than that I have only tickets for Wednesday and Thursday, but I've never been to Gamescom before so I'll go privately on Wednesday to see what is going on there, how everything looks like and to record some footage since I have a YT channel. I plan to go in-costume on Thursday... and that's it.
And our 405th isn't too much into Gamescom either, many of our folks skipped or are having other cosplays like Overwatch... So yep.
Nice event but not most important for me. TBH looking more forward to Warsaw Games Week in my country. And well, I have to get in shape, dammit. >_>
And... once I'm done with this costume I'll be a very very happy human. I'm sick and tired of never ending work on this costume, hahaha.
I know it's also kinda my fault that I started doing all this at the end of May. WAKE UP yo. I didn't plan the whole thing TBH, if I knew I would have started working on it months ago... Oh well, but I just want to finish it and call it finished. You know, close the project.
I only keep it in mind I'll have to make another undersuit as it's lycra and may get worn out with time, but that's it.
I can always say that I'm waiting til those eggheads will get me a new chest piece. >:[
Anyway, finished one shin.
Working on the second now, adding foam details and still have to strip paint from smaller pieces tomorrow.
Also have to mask that thigh piece to paint tomorrow... Argh.
And also start stripping paint from shoulder pieces.
Also, a friend from Fireteam Equus did this masterpiece. I guess I know why Spartans have those metallic visors. Haha.
