JBC Players of Tampa Holiday Meet Up

We had our Dec meet-up Sunday night! Lot's of fun was had by all!
Friends,fun, and food!

The "White elephant" gift exchange went well. Lot's of geeky themed gifts were shared.

Here are a few photo's from our meet-up! Wish I had remembered to take photos when all 15 people were there but here's our DnD people after our game.

Special Thanks to "Red Gears Studios" for letting us host our meet-up at the studio!

Shameless plug: $910. And growing! TY

I am very thankful for all those who have helped fund my surgery goal.
$910.00 and growing!

I know I will get "haters" but this is something that would change my life and I'm not giving up because of nay-sayers. I have worked hard to maintain my weight and try to keep my core as strong as I can while dealing with the spine of a 89 yr old..

This may seem vain, but the Dr's have said that getting that weight from extra skin and re-tightening my core muscles will help support my spine even more and lengthen the time before they have to go back in and fuse the other three..

So like I say on my page..
If I'm on a time limit then I'm going to live life to the limits set by myself.

I am on my way to completing the new and healthy ME!

Blogger App test post

Okay, I just downloaded the blogger app.. I didn't really want to because I'm on my phone all the time but it will make keeping up with my blog much easier (I hope)

About to find out if this is going to be one jumbled post or if the app auto inserts the \blockquotes for spacing.

So what am I saying really?
This is just a BS post to test out the app prior to posting some serious geeky stuff and getting upset that it's all a jumbled mess!

Here I go!

Cosplay: The making of Nana's Plaster cast sewing mold Post 2

Sorry had to put away personal projects for a bit while working on wardrobe for film shoot! Now that's finished I can get back to my body mold and hopefully complete it before the next film starts!
So re-cap...After the plastering, drying, and foaming of my body mold (see post 1 for more details) It's time to remove the plaster cast from the foam. A huge future helper here would be "You can't go overboard with the lubricant" as you can see I had some spots where the plaster sealed itself to the foam and I had to sand her down. To be fair though expect "Some" sanding no matter what. I re-measured myself and wrote the results right on my mold then sanded any lumpy areas until she met my correct measurements.
Next I will fine tune sand over her for smoothing, Fill in any holes from the foam bubbles with a hot-glue gun, and cover her in some stretchy material for eye candy.
Then she will be all ready for any Cosplay projects I have in the making! I can't wait to try out the roll of Worbla I picked up! ^.^ /Happy Dance
A special Thank You to Harbor Freight tools for hooking me up with special coupons via Twitter! Got this sander for less than $10.00! In return they want me to keep them posted on my Cosplay adventures!
