So I made some progress on the weapons crate. This weapons crate will be sitting at the 405th booth for Sci-fi Valley con. It will serve as a good place to set your props down at while still keeping the whole Halo aura around them. I am unsure if I should add any other details onto it, I was considering adding "405th" somewhere on it as well as putting in the pistol racks for the left side.
Also as far as the rest of the items for the con;
-The Helmet and chest pieces for the donation to the Charity raffle are almost finished, they are about 95% done being painted. I don't think I will be installing lights on it, it turned into more work than I had anticipated. You all can expect pictures of the two pieces together by tomorrow at some point.
-The Pistol has half of a mold on it currently, the other half needs re-poured (seeing as I messed it up and left a thin wall that ripped when demolding the first time. We set the price at $40 I believe for anyone who wants to snag a resin copy of the M6 from halo 3 at the convention. It was 3d printed by Kusak and Ashuraa.
Let me know if you are interested, that way I can be sure to have them cast before the convention.
-My costume *coughfloodcough* will be pushing the limit on time for the convention, seeing as its about halfway done and I have about 3 days left to finish it. The base is built, I just have to be sure the foam I am using will cure in time and the whole costume is painted before Friday (because nobody appreciates a walking paint odor). So if I am not in costume on Saturday of the con, that is why lol.
Also we got the map for the convention table placement, and my table is caddy-corner to the 405th booth and we will be doing costume repairs the whole weekend. My booth is "Evanescent Props" and I hope to see all your smiling faces (or rather, your shiny helmets) this weekend!
