WIP
Following the clawed glove tutorial from rah-bop and wow did I do a poor job. Tights fabric giving me anxiety, too. A lot of work for such fragile material.

Gotta use what I have now. Will paint them, glue on claws. But wouldn't be surprised if they don't even survive the next con. I'll see and next approach has to be something more sustainable.

The Machine’s pants are finished, which brings the costume to 22/23 parts (minus the paint job).

I’ve started working on the last missing part: the cloak. I’m quite excited about getting to wear one! The pattern is now ready, but I had to order more fabric, so the cloak is paused until I get the missing materials.

In the meantime I’ve also started adding some final, small details on the armour. I should be able to start priming some of the armour pieces later today.

I’ve been working on The Machine’s undersuit - the shirt and pants that I’ll wear under the armour pieces. The shirt is now completed and I’m hoping to finish the pants today.

I still need to make the cloak and paint the armour. I’m quite a bit behind my original schedule. With some luck, I might still finish this project by the end of August, but in any case not before Gamescom.

The event debut of The Machine is now officially on the Saturday of Amiga40.

My god, getting this to work is such a pain. These types of masks are prone to getting dragged downwards with mouth movement.

Interestingly not the balance itself was off nor the springs too strong, but the teeth gripped each other. Thus it required more force to open the jaw, making me pull down the mask.

Teeth ripped out and fixed, this now works OK. Some padding in there and it might work well even.

#PhotoOfTheDay is a collage of "process, still much left to do..." photos of my workbench with a 3D print of a Star Wars heavy blaster rifle I am making for my Mandalorian outfit. It's been relentlessly "progressing, with still much to do" stage for a couple of weeks now and will stay that way for at least another week I suspect.
