Yes, I ratted myself out. I start alot more then I finish. So far I think my success at failure is something around 100%. I got several projects in the works though this one I have some incentive to actually complete. Its for halloween 🙂

Utinni!!

 

Yes, I am being a Jawa. Not only am I being a jawa though, I am being a Jawa that has been plagued with gigantism. I have been ostracized from the clan which is why I am dressing alone. I am a wondering Jawa. Well, nearly. I will likely just have the cape and hood for this costume (so I will at least look like a Jawa) as well as the eyes. The cloth material, sadly, I just dont have the time to learn and create it myself this time. So we have asked one of my wifes coworkers to create it for me. Now the eyes is what I am working on, and as luck would have it, I think I have it pretty figured out.

 

For the basic mask I shall be using this:

Very simple and basic mask that I can cut up and get rid of the mouth portion of it. I just wont need that portion of which I shall use a deep black cloth to cover up the lower part of my face. On this mask I shall also be attaching some elastic bands of some sort to wrap around my head to hold it into place. Attached to this will also be black cloth wrapping up over the head as well and attaching to the back of the elastic bands via some sort of glue or so. This will hide my face in almost pure blackness 🙂

Now, the eyes. They will be a simple yellow/orange LED light. Pretty simple setup actually, will just attach a 9v battery, a resistor, and a LED light together and we are set. In addition thought to this setup, I want to try to attach a simple on and off switch so that I can turn the lights off when I am not using them. This who contraption will be attached to the mask as well, the battery, resistor and some wire will be ran along the elastic band and attach to the LED light that will be embedded in the mask just below the eyes of the mask. Now, I do still need to figure out something to attach to the LED base in order to sort of focus the light out a bit, think some concave piece will work but this is something I need to work on yet. Once all this is attached though, the head piece is pretty much complete and in theory I shall look similar to the picture above 🙂

Anyway, I hope to have this completed within a week. So looking forward to seeing something here soon 😉

As for Project Force Pike, it has hit a hurdle, I have some of the pieces I need, but one of the main pieces I had gotten is a bit to big and I am having to go around looking for a replacement for it, so this may take some time which for the time being, I am putting this one on hold for now.

3d Project, that is on hold till my new hopefully laptop arrives in the mail to replace this poopy one that I am on now. So hope that arrives in the next week or so as well 🙂
