Day 1 and 2
A mate of mine invited me to a renaissance festival that was upcoming in four days, so jokingly I asked if bushido armor was acceptable. For the next four days i stayed up hours into the night working tirelessly, heres what I have to show for it.
Day 1- consisted of spray painting Little Caesars pizza boxes head to toe, 8 boxes, 2 cans total.
Day 2 i started the chest and the Sode ( neat shoulder bits)
Day 3
Shoulder supports installed, first sode attached.
Day 3 pt 2
some more of the bits coming together, once the drilling was done the sowing was what ate up all the hours.
Day 3 pt 3
finished product that night, I know there are better suits out there, but I did this all my own with my own set timeline and goal, and being a professional life procrastinator this really felt great.
D-Day
End product at the fair with the mates, given more time I coulda fleshed the idea out more but hey ill take it, if you guys made it this far, thank you. Long time lurker some years now, first time poster so wish me a bloody good luck.
