Never enough time!
Man, Comic Con is like, 3 weeks away. I am no where near prepared either. I haven't lost the extra pounds that I wanted to (I can do something in 3 weeks though), although I have lost a few. Trying to tie up several loose ends...
Costume progress report:
ESB Han Solo - is mostly coming along. The jacket should be done soon and the new gun rig and tools should be here (hope). My boots need to do back to get cut down, they are like 2 inches too tall.
Tracy is good with her ANH Leia, although she could use a better way to create her buns.
Indiana Jones - isn't really an issue, although I am waiting on a few items, I have plenty of things I can sub if needed. Tracy's dress should be nearly done. We found a pair of shoes which should work ok.
Batman - There have been all sorts of issues around this. The biggest issue is finding a heavy weight darker gray spandex. So who knows if I will do this or not... we will see. Tracy's Catwoman goggles have been sanded and repainted and hopefully we will get some metal ones one day....
Ash - There is a lot of work still to be done on this one. Still trying to find a good pair of pants although I did find a pair of brown Dickies that should work. Trying to find the right hiking boots has not been easy, they don't make em in that style anymore. I was able to find a good blue shirt and have started to distress it. I could use a couple more shirts though. Those are tough to find. I have also started on the chest harness... which should come together just fine. Need to clean off the area near my leather sewing machine so I can use it.
The big problem there is my chainsaw, shotgun and metal hanger for the chest harness. I haven't been able to get in touch with the guy who is making them. Why is contracting out always such a pain?
Tracy's dress is coming along nicely though:
thanks to the good people at the-magic-wardrobe
Logan/Wolverine - After this weekens superhero event, I need to not shave for the next 3 weeks. Hope I can get my chops together in time. My claws and belt buckle need some touch up, but otherwise, should be good if I can lose that weight I mentioned LOL.
