As Posted in my edited post on my cog armor thread (in creation)
I really don't know what I am doing anymore and I have no extra cash to have failed projects. Kinda depressed and not feelin great. Could really use some support on this, or a helping hand, or just some words of wisdom.
As it is I might only have what's shown done in time for the Release, mostly because of job-hour cuts and lack of money to buy supplies AND the GOW3 xbox360. Kinda wanted the console as a b-day present to myself (bday is on friday july 15, so a late one) but even that is looking pretty bleak with hour cuts and budgeting.
Basically if I do have enough money for the console, it will be just barely, and I can't buy supplies to finish my works right now, other option being cancelling the console and making the suit but having that empty feeling in Sept. So I am trying to make every piece of foam, every stick of glue I have - count.
I can live with "just the torso" done. So for now I am scrapping all other parts. (since most weren't even Pepped yet, this didn't use any materials).
I have 1 small container of resin left (used about 5oz)
I have 1/2 gallon of Bondo - but it is last year's leftovers - and 0 hardener to test if it will still harden properly. (dunno where it went)
I have 3 EVA foam mats, and a handful of 'foamies' 2mm craft foam.
Also seem to have 2 fiberglass resin hardener tubes (liquids) unopened for some reason, and was wondering if the liquid could be used to harden bondo putty
Besides Painting - I'd like to get everything done on the torso by the end of July if possible, which will allow me to see my supplies and see if I can budget any other parts in.
I just need some instructional advice.. what next?
In a slump here.
I really need some back-up here, feel like I am going in LASO style including Blind against all the covvies.
I find myself in a depression loop which is a very bad thing for gaming, life, and hobbies and I want to break it, just gotta have a hand doing so.
None of my family really get this stuff, it's just 'a mess' to them. The only friend that I have that gets this stuff is currently jobless with his own problems and hasn't been able to work on his armor at all in months.
So.. here's my arm.. I am reachin' out for some support, get me a lift off this hellish rock.
