An ideal gaming table became an ideal wing-production table in the days before the con'.

We discovered the belts we ordered were more goldenrod than lemon yellow, so hightailed it to the local home improvement store for a can of spray paint. (Pictured: color-corrected belts.)

Over 4th of July weekend, the full-size paper wing prototype traveled southeast from the Pacific Northwest.

In July, Andy successfully scaled his mini paper prototype into a full-size pair of paper wings. #wingspan

Woof! We are overdue for an update; I'll delve into the photo backlog soon.

Tunics, shorts, and gloves: now more golden! As a fun bonus, despite wearing gloves, my hands are now Oompa Loompa hands. :)

Dye bath

Prepare to dye!

We have suits!

Our first Zentai suit order arrived this morning. With expedited shipping, it only took 7 days from the day our order was placed. That’s pretty impressive for 6 custom suits. I’m glad to have these in hand and now feel much more confident about ordering additional suits closer to the con.

I went ahead and tried on my suit; fit-wise it seems just right. The material is a very stretchy Lyrca. It fits like a glove–neither too lose nor too baggy. I lost about 5 pounds since I took my measurements, but imagine it would have fit equally well had I not thanks to the stretchy material.

Not much to see here, just wanted to record the boot color formula for future reference: 2 parts Buttercup, 2 parts Yellow, 1 part 2-Thin medium. Each is allowed to slowly drip through the strainer funnel.

Belt coil!

"The half dozen Zentai suits I ordered will arrive soon" is a phrase I never really expected to be able to say.

The fabric dye and soda ash have arrived!

The first coat of paint is looking pretty good!

Boot paint arrived this afternoon, along with strainer funnel and airbrush medium.
