Hey I caught a little bit of you sewing your handplate on stickam...That was pretty neat for a first timer! But I still got this little question nagging at me (or you). Where is the connection being made; what are you sewing through? Is it some fabric glued to the armor or is it foam or what? I believe you can make it in time for PAX! GOOD LUCK Wait a sec...Spartans make there own luck, so nevermind, just make the luck last!
