Re: Hopli's Soldier 76 Cosplay. - Back! 26/04 - PIC heavy!
Finally I'm back! (and not to save John & Sarah Conner)
But rather to finish my S76 cosplay!!!
Before I start, this thing about my jacket.... my inbox is pouring over with questions to where I obtained it.
So here it is:
if you google 'Soldier 76 leather jacket' you will find it super fast! You can't miss it
I will also add this to the first post! Please do not reply or PM me anymore just to ask where I got my jacket!! This should be enough info.
Now that we got that out of the way back to the topic at hand.
I have been gone for a while for a couple of reasons. The most important a huge renovation of the 2nd floor (third for Americans) of my house.
Basically I converted a huge attic to a master bedroom, walk-in closet, storage room and desk area.
Doing all the work myself this took weeks/months. It is finally finished and we are extremely happy with our new bedroom!
Being ready again to continue on my cosplay (something I missed allot). I found myself with the issue of still not having an actual room to do this.
Either the dining table was packed with my stuff and had to be emptied every few days for visits. Or I made so much dust my GF went crazy.
Time for a solution!!!.
Not having a garage or a garden shed I was giving up on the dream of having a spot for me to tinker and craft. The girlfriend seeing I was getting sad about this had an idea.
As we had built an extra storage room on the 2nd floor and having a new usable attic above it in the top of the roof, we were able to move just the right amount of stuff out of the storage room downstairs to the two said areas to make room for me.
Basically the storage room downstairs is a 3m by 1,82m room (9,8 feet by 5,9 feet for u crazy people out there). Small yes... but damn was I happy.
I hastily bought some lumber and together with allot of scraps and leftovers from the big renovation I was able to build my small place of solitude inside our house.
After two days the project was done:
It is not big. And some of you will think What the f*. But for me its more than enough and I'm happier than ever. A place to work, where it can sit for a few days, where i can make noise and dust. Where everything is close by.
So this being said. Sorry to have left you in the dark. Work has restarted on the Pulse rifle and updates will flow in very soon! For people who's PM's I missed about the jacket, I hope the explanation above will satisfy.
For those who are here for the cosplay, rifle and mask. Stay tuned!
