Sometimes storyteller, sometimes cosplayer, always vidja games.

Currently trying to justify having bought a 3D printer.

Oh, yeah, I remembered - before all of, well, this - *gestures to the internet* I made this profile for a reason:

I was accompanied to Fort Collins ComicCon by my wife, who struggles with chronic health issues. She worked so hard and was determined to help me dress up in a dumb costume and enjoy the event.
She wasn't able to get any photos of me, so: if anyone here took a pic with me last weekend - let me know!

I stopped by Fort Collins ComicCon last weekend in my completed Helldivers cosplay. I wasn't able to stay as long as hoped, or visit for more than just the Saturday, but I got so many compliments and photos taken it was unreal.

Opinion time - I stencilled on the emblem to the breastplate, was impatient,started weathering it too soon and had half-cured white paint grab black acrylic and welcome it into the family forever, leading to some watery stains. I tried some clean up and chipping/weathering to conceal. Thoughts?

Found a good free STL of the Talon revolver, prepped and printing right now - because why not start another smaller project inside your current project, like nesting dolls of split attention-span?

Some context to my posts:

I am currently working on a cosplay of the B-01 Helldiver armor from Helldivers 2.

This involves 3D-printed armor (PLA), off-the-shelf uniform pieces and custom soft fittings.

Trimmed.
Will need to use some weathering to disguise the lower shin guards, however. Oh,well.
