Got a costume you're working on or one you wore to a recent convention? Share it! Please keep things SFW, no lewd content or shaming per #rules

Been working on a revamp of my vader chest box. So far I have the circuitry and most of the code working. Just built a prototype shell out of Lego today

Where do you buy your batteries? I need one similar to that 785060 for a project.

#

I got mine and the charger from Adafruit. They’re pricier but I reasoned that a more expensive battery and charger from a reputable company is cheaper than a house and/or person fire @fresh sand

#

I’m not trying to cosplay that Darth Vader

Thanks! I'll give Adafruit a try. The last battery I bought on Ebay arrived already bloated.

I have most of the circuitry done, here’s some pictures of the chest box housing WIP and the before/after of the belt boxes

#

The 12 silver buttons are actually computer case thumb screws. Perfect size, coloring but diamond knurling wouldve been better than the vertical knurling I was able to get ahold of

Since I’ve finished the vader costume for now, I went back to my other hobby. Miniatures

Finished painting most of that army

Here’s my 3 favorite

#

Krennic for good measure

#

Not a fan of the way I did his face but I was impressed with how well the white cloak turned out

#

The storm trooper I was especially proud of the white armor and the orange I mixed for his shoulder pad, turned out perfect. Vader and the ATST are the reason I picked this faction and are great centerpiece models. Although, I need to redo the water on the ATST because i found a better way to do it with krennic and the speeder bikes

#

Krennic and the Speeder Bikes, new band name, I call it

They look so good up close! I like the highlights in his hair and the sand stuck to his leather boots. No clue how you did the different colored strands of grass and pebbles in the sand. Martina from Nerdforge likes to add resin to her water spray but it's risky cause it can turn cloudy. You must have the steadiest hands ever. Last week I assembled a PCB and almost passed out from staring through a magnifying glass for an hour. And my 0603 resistors and capacitors are bigger than those blue and red imperial jacket buttons.

The sand was an accident but I’m glad you like it :). Thanks!

Apparently it was full of dogs, canine, canary

#

And the bird was named after the islands

I’m a sucker for cool Star Wars vehicles

Super nice wear marks on the bottom cannons. In the movies those had way too much scorch damage.

zoom quality on that camera is extra potato, but you get the vibe
