I'm still bummed that I rushed together my shin rider 2 for NYCC and it just exploded off of me from the rain for all my foamwork. Stickasaurus, my usual helmet guy was able to get me a raw kit AND resin print and tint the eyes for me in less then a WEEK like the absolute champion he is. I was able to get it puttied, sanded, smoothed, clear coated, and some vinyl work for the back details in like 8 days which was nice but man. Man. And then the bulk of the actual costume went "ew sticky" and plopped on the floor. Humidity was so high the helmet instantly fogged on both sides of the lenses from my bodyheat too. It was a real bummer of a NYCC trip, going on Saturday was the real bummer. Never again. Maybe not at all since they cut out all the cool booths.

#also i had rubber boots but they were a size and a half too small and I thought “Oh yeah I can last two-ish hours in these” i lasted 45 mins #I'm slowly rebuilding the torso to go on with velcro and I have boots coming hopfully by the end of the month #The nice part about my modular cosplay goal is that I can afford to splurge on one offs like shin rider 2 #I don't think those printed chest parts look all that good and being 300$ doesn't help that #I'm still chasing the high of castlepoint 22 as jungle fury red tbh I just want a cosplay experience that good again #I'm probably gonna wear go red/lightspeed red to anime NYC in a few weeks.#Because like hell I'm bringing all my doragoku stuff into NYC via dufflebag with everything going on.
