So I started in on testing out Pepakura files and I learned some things. 1) Some of the pieces when scaled down are so tiny! I think I need to either simplify the pattern  so there are less polys because this is re-darn-diculous. 2) My modge podge is dried solid. :( 3) It takes a long time to make a part. It turned out okay. It fits which is what I was testing  I figure now that if I only print out certain parts I can hold them up to my body to check if the scale is right or at least close.  I still need to buy the EVA foam so, the project takes a break.  For Gally, I found robot gloves and got some craft foam to make the knee pads. It shouldn't take long. I might do it this weekend. :) 

So I'm going to try and keep a log of my costume projects hoping that it'll help me get it done. I currently have 2 projects on my plate. Project 1: Battle Angel Alita - Gally A budget looking cosplay to be sure but it should be good for one day at a convention. Here's what I have for the costume so far. - wet pvc catsuit, sleeveless. (I was able to find one on ebay that looked exactly like Gally's) - Silver colored turtleneck (for her arms) - Boots (Waiting for them to come in the mail. Another ebay) - Trench Coat (I already own one of the proper color.) What it still needs : Knee pads (creating these out of foam) Silver Paint for the arms (I don't think I'll make foam parts for this.) Black gloves  Since I already have similar hair color, I might opt out of a wig and just style my own hair. (Or I might just re-style my cheap vampire wig.) Estimated time left...0 days. Project 2: Halo Spartan Princess (or Donut from Red vs Blue) This ...
