Im going to supernova in brisbane with a few mates. Im hoping to see a few 405th members down there.
UPDATE
a few pics of the painted armor. i found a really good nylon fabric dye for the straps and it was supposed to work on Velcro as well,
i tested it out and sure enough it died the Velcro and the Velcro worked just as well as it did before
.
full armor after painting and sealing. note the inside is not sealed on the shin and thigh plates. i will correct this mistake,
it kinda slipped my mind while i was doing it\
the back is looking better with a bit of paint. not that in this build i wasn't going for accuracy but more recognisability.
i.e. the shoulder pads are a tad over-sized and the chest is a bit enlarged as well.
I suppose because i wont be wearing a helmet to the con i decided to tweek the armor a bit to make up for it
i will however be making a helmet but i will be taking a bit longer to do that and i probably wont start it until I'm back on barracks
a bit of pep will keep me busy between shifts.
