This
has been the most fun costume I’ve made and the hardest costume I’ve made. This
is also the first costume I’ve completed. I had to give myself some leeway as I
knew it wouldn't be perfect as this is my first one and I left a lot to the last
minute (like painting things which is very time consuming to let it dry
properly).
Painting
the layers, PVA x2, Plasti dip x2, Plastic primer x1, spraypaint x2-3. So much
drying time but worth it for the work you see below. Nothing is glued yet here.
Did I ever mention
how fast I came to appreciate hot glue?
Several
hours later of work and reading bleach online and viola! Happy Cosplayer.
“Hi Jaune,” “oh
hai James”
Animania
is tomorrow and I’ve just now completed my costume. Mostly. Didn't worry about
the sword, shield or belt pouches but it doesn’t have to be perfetc. Besides, I
can save those for version 2.0.
It’s
now in the wee early hours of Friday morning and I’ve just realised that
Animania doesn’t start until Saturday, not Friday (like Supanova did). As I’ve
already booked my hotel and have leave, I have no choice but to enjoy the
sights of Sydney for the day.
Sydney.
So much to do. Never a dull moment. Shops, markets, sights, sounds, people,
homeless people, sleeping people (or passed out). Sydney is a veritable melting
pot of humanity.
Last
time I was there I discovered this *great* place that does delicious Ramen.
Great place for a guy that takes quality food very seriously. This little
restaurant will be my first point of call. If I lived in Sydney, the owners
would probably know me by name by now.
I’ll
update more after I get back from this weekend.
as for
now, I’m going off on adventures
