Thank you to everyone for the compliments; they help me realize that all of the hard work paid off and motivate me to finish my own suit by Saturday. She will not be without warm clothing so no worries there. Her school had a strict no weapons policy, so yes I had to keep it orange for that reason. I plan on repainting it later.
@kithunter: Absolutely, she may be put on the thread. That totally made my day!
@Elkman: We are in Fond du lac, which is on the eastern side of Wisconsin.
Now, my task is to finish my own suit, which at the moment has about a weeks work of time put into it. It is about 75% done. The only thing I will be missing are feet and hands. Once Halloween is past and I have more time (and money), I will be doing complete overhauls on both suits to take them up to the next level. Keep your eyes pealed for the next 72 hours for my suit to appear! Again, thank you everyone for the kind words! It really does mean a lot!
