Its a 20 min drive to the con. Then get dressed in the underground car park. Having everything spread out is not a problem and in fact is kind like a mobile dressing room. If I were flying or it was a weekend trip with the wife + luggage it would be different.

Look, there can't be any form of armour transport safer than a baby seat.
If we can't put our helmets in it, then we shouldn't be putting babies in it either.

That base layer puts most mandos to shame. Great job on that finish Saint!

Waiting on other photos from the convention, but for now one with a couple guys from Australian Army Defense Force recruiting booth. The air force booth was actually a big hit as they brought 3 fighter sim seat for people try.
And one with a Space Marine that makes me look like child. The guy had more fans in helmet than I have in my entire suit. hahaha. On the other hand I had him beat range of motion.

Tuesday morning.
Clearly feeling my age. I swear it took Sunday and Monday to recover from pre-con and con-day. I woke up today feeling... eh... vibrant?... alive?... which made me realize how many days had passed that I didn't.
So just a word to the young... Slow and steady win the race. Here I made such a point of not going through "con crunch" ever again - and I didn't for my costume - and yet took on doing my daughter's in like 10 days. Silly man!

Wednesday morning.
First a big thanks to PlanetAlexander for his tireless efforts herdingcats Spartans for photos at the convention and all the work photographing everyone! Thanks to those photos I was able to identify a couple trouble spots to fix up for next time.
The worst issue was: Me. I forgot two parts in the car and wasn't walking back 3 blocks to get them. Mind you - its a lot of fun just walking down the sidewalk and watching all the normies stare, whip out their phones and generally look of "what the f...." on their faces. Especially since Saturday was the regular street market with all the booths and such.
I can see where some of the armor under vest bunched up. It gave me some bulge where I don't have bulge and I really have plenty already and don't need more. So there is a plan for v2 of that vest, as well as v2 of the collar from a few posts back.

I'm lucky: There's two convention within a hour's drive spaced 6 months apart. "Brisbane" and "Gold Coast"

A little "Happy 405th day" goodness. New helmet.
Files by AguilarWorkshop. Printed through my shop (Starbase3d).
And before I get flooded with "How did you do the visor?"... Motorcycle visor cut to fit then epoxied in place.

Definitely an advantage to non-weirdly shaped visors. That visibility is amazing and the process was way easier than making an ODST visor.
