A gift to Delila a couple of clone helmets

2010-02-18T09:06:00.004-06:00

So the other day a couple of boxes showed up on my doorsteps with Delila's name on them. Some very nice person sent Delila two C6 clone helmets for her 2nd birthday. That's an awesome gift!! Now I need to make sure there nice and padded for her to wear. ;)

Nice!

Head Cast

2009-12-14T12:44:00.008-06:00

My friend Robert Kohn from Wisconsin who does an awesome Chewie and is an awesome costumer did a cast of my head and shoulders. I'll be using this head for future projects that require a measurement of my head. Thanks Robert!!

ESB Gauntlet beginnings

2009-12-14T12:34:00.004-06:00

Started messing around with my ESB guantlets. I know that using the hinges on the
gauntlets is not movie accurate, but I much rather have them in place since I'm building
my Boba costume for costuming, not just to be displayed.

Day 1 of P90X. 2010 work out started early. 274 days til my goal

2009-11-30T12:43:00.005-06:00

Yes it was pretty hard to get back to it again, but I had to do it. I'm at the
heaviest I have ever been. 180lbs. I did chest and back today. I'll do my
Ab Ripper X later tonight.

While I did my work out this morning, I vomited big time. I guess it was
the Thanksgiving delights.

I would like to be 160lbs by August 31st 2010.

The beginnings of a Clonetrooper

2009-11-17T08:38:00.001-06:00

After a few years of Clonetrooper armor Hiatus, I'm starting a new one again. Thanks to Kevin from O.S.C.S.
Not really sure what type of armor I'll be doing. I'm kicking around the idea of making a Cody in a different style or my 41st gray trooper again.
