#celebration prep

Done. I think... Well, maybe a little touch up and a bit of powder.

Turns out the lovely, warm sunny day made the Psycho Paint set much faster. So... It went on quite a bit thicker than I wanted, and I had to mix batches more frequently. It resulted in some unevenness to it that I really want to fix, so we'll see what it looks like after curing and after I have a good night's rest.

Also? Completely freehanded. I am not an artist, y'all. I swear, that was more tense than my sewing the leg panels on the other day. Oof.

Status check on Darth Nox-in-progress! The (heavy af) outer robe is done, minus some hemming that I’ll probably have to do (pending boots) because this pattern was not made for Jawas. But hells, do I feel regal as HELL in it already. :D

Holster rig is, for intents and purposes, done. Pics of that tomorrow, after the last bit of Barge cement has had its 12 hours.

Moved on to the chinstrap - - measured, snaps installed, and sil-poxied into place. Clamps may not be necessary, but I figured caution wasn't a bad thing.

An attempt to use removable vinyl as a stencil did not take, but I did discover that, if I use them as "stickers", they will at least give me outlines to fill in. They will last long enough for that, I think. It's all prepped and ready to go for tomorrow.

Now to adult a bit before crawling into bed and finish up tomorrow.... We hope!

And dualsaber finished.

Food run, then chinstrap and holster rig.

So. Close.

Status check on Darth Nox. Besides the regal af outer robe, we now sport a half-finished waist wrap bodice thing, and an underskirt featuring POCKETSES!

Almost there. Waiting for the glue to dry on the control panels so I can set the "buttons." I probably should have been working on Hera and Kanan, but needed a bit of a break. So this has been a nice distraction, while still working on *something*.

Still to do: Hera's tattoos. Gluing down Kanan's holster straps. Port Nowhere Mobster vest.

Weather has taken a turn for the humid, however, so working in the garage, painting silicone and curing Barge cement is just... Not high on my list. Going to have to suck it up by tomorrow, though. I want to be *done* by tomorrow night.

Busy couple of days in Casa Ginger: Drilled holes in the belt "hardware" and did most of the assembly. Still have to mount the holster and thigh strap.

Work progressed on my SWTOR Shadow, with the pants from the Port Nowhere Mobster armor at about 80% or more complete. Needs waistband, hem, and belt.

Started assembly of the dualsaber paperweight, and got the sheet of wood veneer stained. Tried to primer coat the saber bits, but the can is busted. Hardware store run tomorrow to get a new can, and that can dry while I finish my pants and cut Hera's chin straps.

I wanted to be done by Friday. Looking like Saturday or Sunday, largely for paint/sealant to dry.

Look who got her wig in for her next cosplay project! Also I look good with red hair. ;)
