I STILL ONLY HAVE 18 DAYS, IF I COUNT MY FREE DAYS!
I might take some days off from work to work on this thing. We're going to do this quickly now! The Scalemail has been lost and it will be a miracle if I would get that done in time. So instead, I might go for the temporary option: get more of the red scale fabric, treat it, and make some kind of gilet.
I'm going to have to make a planning. But I am IN NEED OF HELP!
I want dragonskin as a toplayer on the skull, but is it necessary to cast the head with formsil or any other kind of silicone/alginate/thing to then make a skin from dragonskin? Is it possible to make a mold with just plaster? Because it's a one time thing? Then; what kind of dragonskin will I need? And how do I paint it? I have checked some tutorials on it, but I am a bit uncertain.
I am also in need of help for LED-strips. They are 12V and I need them wirelessly powered. I am guessing I will need at least two 9V batteries, but I am not sure. I might ask the local guy for help (where I bought them. He knows I make costumes)
And then at last, but not at least; I need to connect two servos to my Arduino Micro. I think there are tutorials available, but if anyone can help me out, I'd be glad.
