Laundromat frustration and Halloween progress
Fffffff so I'm sitting here at the laundromat. Which says FREE WIFI. But for some reason they have anything messenger-like blocked. So that means I can't access the pchat, the DD chatroom over at Deviantart, or AIM or AIM Express, or anything of consiquence. I even made the mistake of logging out of DA and now I can't sign back in. THANKS LANDROMAT. YOU MAKE THIS HOUR OF SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING SO GREAT. So much for bringing my laptop with. Rabble rabble.
So since I can't do more productive things while my unmentionables are spinning in public view, I'll give a little update on my halloween costume.
No photos for public view yet, but I'm hoping I'll get to the point where I can post something this weekend. For those who just tuned in on this crazyass project I've now put a good fourty hours into (Between R&D and machining etc.) I'm building a working model of Rorschach's grappling gun.
Why?
Mostly because when I told my dad I wanted to make one for my costume he replied with "It's so dissapointing if it doesn't really shoot >:| "
Upgraded the springs since the first design, so now it's looking like it may have a good 15 feet launch. Need to finish some bits still before I can test it properly and tell you for sure. Materials will include: Various plastics, aluminum, wood, brass, steel springs and parts, and my favorite bit about this whole thing so far is that a garbage can lid was used to trace one of the curves. Which? I aint tellin'. Just the fact a garbage can is used as a tool in the construction of a Rorschach anything is pretty hilarious to me.
Like I said, hopefully some photos I can share this weekend. I swear this thing is the coolest.
