Minbari Ranger - Progress Post Five
Since I have so much left to do, I decided to just cave and find some reasonable boots at a store. A stop at Shopko last night yeilded nothing, so I stopped in to the Kohl's next door. The best I found were a pair of cheap canvas kicks. I think doctoring them is probably in order, unless I can find something at another store in time. Given that I need boots and not sandles, and this is clearly sandle season, I'm probably going to have to squeeze altering the ones I have into my schedule.
I de-molded one of the ear prosthetics last night and OMFG, it actually worked!!! I've got the first few coats on the other one and I think I'm going to try and fit in a spare to show the judges.
I also took a mold of the stone that needs to be resin case with the LED embedded in it. Getting it out of the hardened mold was interesting. I ended up having to cut open the side to get the stone back out. I'm fairly certain I can secure it shut enough to cast the new stone, though.
Tomorrow is going to be a big "get shit done" marathon. I plan to be up and sewing by 10.
In the meantime, I have officially lost sleep over worrying about getting everything done on time. I guess it wouldn't be a masquerade entry without that happening.
ONWARD!!!
