Ok.. now that time has passed, and I have recovered a bit, we can go over the carnage count.
1) hands: they lasted all of 30 seconds. Gear sat in the car for more than an hour and a half before the con, and the heat did some serious damage in the form of warpage. They barely even saw the inside of the con.
2) arm: believe it or not, these guys stayed together with the Chicago Srews until after the costume showcase. Next time, we use some lock time and we are golden.
3) legs: these were reworked from the old Dragon costume due to time constraints. I didn't have time to check the fitting after restrapping, so they were uncomfortable as hell and clobbering me all over. Walking was a nightmare, and they are most definitely retired from this point forward.
4) b***y scales: I figured I would have left a trail of scales and golden connectors over the entire convention center, but believe it or not I think I lost only 3. Wow!
5) Ego Cup: yeah, that bad boy was fantastic! Saved me from unmentionable pain and looked mighty manly.. er.. wolfly the entire time. GO NUT CUP!!!
Anyways, post convention depression is over, and I'm already working on a new build for my oldest, as well as getting geared up for some adventures in electroplating!! (Electroforming more like it as I am making pla conductive!)
Stay tuned, for the adventures continue!!
