ok so SORRY for the massive delay in updating!!! I unfortunately didn't finish it in time for halloween, and shortly after my printer decided it didn't want to print anything anymore. So upon looking on island for a good brand printer and one that had a good review, I came up with nothing. Most of those pieces I had to scrap due to weather and warping. I had about 90% of the pep work done for my helmet, until I tried it on and realized it was slightly too small.
Enough bad news, now time for some GOOD news!
Just 2 days ago my boyfriend was fidling with the printer after having it collected a nice thick layer of dust in my closet, and suddenly it came back to life! It now prints, but due to his idiocy, he printed pamphlets to 'test it' and now is low on ink. After work today I'll be buying new ink and will resume work on my costume!
Keep in mind though that updates will be slow (as if they weren't already), as I am currently looking into possible making a Commander Shepard suit OR a Tali'Zorah costume. Those wont be done with the pep/fiberglass/bondo method, but instead with EVA foam and some vacuum forming for Tali. Though for the vacuum I would need an oven...which I currently dont have =X hmmm..?
stay tuned and thank you for ALL your comments and patience!!!
