If you remember my thread about last year "My Noob Tale" where my suit was stolen just before Halloween, I have an update, I just have been busy and unable to post.
The armor was found, however, completely destroyed.
It HAD been painted and "finished" to an extent (although, very far from my standards) and apparently worn to a party (the smell of beer and remains of Nachos were found in some of the detailed parts)
The armor had been smashed up and thrown into some garbage bags and left in a field (apparently where the party/bonfire had happened)
I didn't get any pictures or anything because I didn't have a working camera at the time, I was strolling with some friends who had gone to the party and after I mentioned my armor they noted they had seen "a dude wearing something similar" so we went to the party spot and it was just layin there in the bags.
If your wondering how I could ID it - I could only judge by my old pictures and memories. I guess there is a small chance there was someone else in the area working on the similar suit with similar measurements then myself, the armor did indeed look as if it "could" fit me, if it weren't so beat up. I think I am going to add "Maker's Marks" to my future work for Identification purposes.
It's quite saddening even now to think about what happened but at least it was found. I didn't bother trying to recover anything because frankly it's too risky with all the disease and such out there, I wore gloves like it were a crime scene investigation - after all I didn't know where my armor had been, or who with.
Not to mention repairs on such a broken suit would require nearly a full reconstruction anyway, it looks as if it literally was just trampled on.
At least the armor went out having fun. I couldn't ask for anything more really. Beer and other alcohols were found all over at the party, and very few don't like Nachos.
Just thought I should let everyone know that was interested, especially those that supported me during the creation thread of the suit.
Trying to plan what to work on now, a replacement suit, or something fresh...
