+Keith Cramer and I are in a Star Wars costume contest initiated by +Halfdan Reschat. By April 1st, we have to have our costumes ready for judging. Loser dresses as Princess Leia, in her slave girl costume, in a public hangout (actively seeking one to fit us). Links to related posts are below my update if you want to read even more.
Finished cutting and painting arm and leg pieces out of poster board. Arm pieces were drying so I did not model them. Got the Velcro on the leg pieces and top of the breast and back plate. I decided I did not like the way my initial breast plate vinyl covering turned out so I covered it in a second layer of vinyl tonight and repainted it. Also, you can see in the picture I have black covering from neck to feet.
I still have to add Velcro to the arm pieces, adjust the thigh pieces (they were a little loose), make shoe coverings, figure out something for the codpiece and head, and add all the detailing. I have one day. Thanks to +Kristi Fahlsing for helping me with the arm and leg pieces; it is not a one person job to hold and mark the pieces for cutting! Also, for helping with the Velcro on the chest and back plates; also not a one person job!
More later! 😉

+Hermine Ngnomire Thank you! I'm definitely trying. I would have loved to go with something better than poster board, but the $40 limit is challenging! I got the black clothes on clearance from Wal-Mart just tonight. 😉

Do a vid and add some music, that 'll be cool 😉

Well, as an anime fan I 'd go for this one, but it doesn't really matter. C3P0 will be the star 😉
