After much thought, and lots of addiction, here's my full projects list for props and costumes as of today. :
I need to finish :
TDK Joker V2.0 : Still need tie, pants, coat, and suspenders. This will need to be an ongoing project due to cost. I'd realy like to have a new coat soon, but considering the cost...I expect this one to be about $400-$500 to complete. Which obviously isn't viable. So I'll need to to break this one up. Mabey the tie and suspenders this year, or the coat,etc.
Nurse Joker : Belt and pink trim, $15 to finish. And my mom to sew the trim, LOL. This should be a quick finish.
I want to work on/start :
TEOD Jodo Kast [HARD PARTS ONLY] : I've decided to scrap some of my existing peices and cut some new ones out. I only want to hafe to do the painting once, and considering my first paint isn't available anymore, I'd need to repaint evrything. So I'll just get some new sintra to work with. I'll use sintra, so the cost realy won't be a lot. But I'll need to draw up new templates, take time to cut the peices out, and mold them again. But the peices will be a lot more accurate, so I'll be a lot happier with it. So yes JK3, I'm saying this again, it'll be finished someday. I don't know when, but someday it will be. I don't want to buy any soft parts before the release of Celebration 5 info either. I don't want to grow to much and not fit them. So it's better if I put that off. So I'll just do hard parts for now. Depending on C5's location and time untill then will determine how fast this project goes.
Sandtrooper [4+ Year Project?] : I'd also like to have a Sandtrooper someday. So I thought about mabey picking up some peices here and there, and completing it over a few years work. A pauldron, a few pouches, the fabric belt and fabric shoulder straps this year mabey. I already have my helmet, so I at least don't need to worry about that. Just the suit, the armor, the MG-34, the boots, the neckseal, the TD peices, the pouches, the belt and straps, the pauldron, the pack...Oh crap. :wacko
Hasbro Modified E-11 and holster [For Sandtrooper, sometime...anytime] : Its just something I've always wanted sence I saw the resin conversion peices for the Hasbro blaster. So just sometime I'd like to get one of these. I have two Hasbro blasters, so I thought about doing the mods to one of 'em. I'd love to have a holster for it as well to wear (not cannon I know) with my Sandtrooper in 20 years. The cost would be the resin mod. kit, and the holster. But I've seen some nice holsters made for 'em for like $30, so its not that big of deal. So like $60 or so for evrything considering I've already got the blaster me thinks. I'll shop around untill I find something cheap. :lol Cheap isn't a word. :lol
And then there's just props I want. I think there will always be something someone wants, so I don't consider these "realistic goals", just say, in the next 10 years, if the world dosen't blow up and I'm not dead, I'd like to have this stuff, and cases or displays to put them in. :
Sideshow Hellboy 2 Samaritan W/LED bullets ($400?)
Sideshow Hellboy Right Arm of Doom($100-$200?)
I,Robot Detective Spooner's (yes, Spooner) Main Pistol
I,Robot Detective Spooner's (Spooner again, I know!) Back-up Pistol
Gears of War Amazon Lancer (About $125)
Gears of War Metal COG Tags ($10-$20)
Firefly Jayne's MP5SD5 (a lot....I'll never get this unless I start my own. Which I'd be afraid to do.)
Firefly Jaynes MP5K (Same goes for this, I don't have enough prop building skill to convert an airsoft)
Wow...Am I an adict or what. I just hope money starts to grow on trees...I also need to sell my SW collection. Which is over 250+ peices in total. :unsure
