Finally, Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will start tonight. I have been waiting for this for quite some time, and am very interested to see how they will take the series to its end. It is sad knowing that the series will be ending in a short amount of time, but then it can be added to my list of favorite tv shows that either went out due to stupid network executives, or ones that didn’t want to try and drag on and went out in their prime.
Remember, it is all about the toasters.
I finally got around to having some pictures taken of my BSG marine. Here are a couple of shots.
I am waiting for my knife to arrive, and I couldn’t find my headset when we were taking the pictures.
I have decided what my next costume will be. I will be making a BSG marine costume. Here are a couple of pictures of what it looks like.
Now granted, I will just look like a random soldier, but this will be great to have at conventions, especially since we have a few cylon costumers in our local group. I also have a dual purpose, in that many parts of this costume will work for airsoft, which I really want to start playing. I hope to have it done by Halloween.
Well it is hard to believe that Dragon*Con was only a week ago. I had a blast this year. The deck suits that I made were a huge success and and I ended up winning Best Disheveled Colonials at the Colonial Fleet costume contest. We put on the suits on Thursday night and instantly people wanted our pictures. This is also when I had my first encounter with Aaron Douglass. I was in the Hyatt and someone was taking my picture. I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard, Awesome costume man. I turned and said thanks, and then realized who it was who had complimented me. It was Aaron. I said thanks again, and that got my whole weekend off to a badass start. When at the BSG party, Aaron looked at our suits and said, “These are scarily accurate, and I feel like I should be at work.” That was about the best compliment that I could have gotten.
We also busted out the toaster child that we carried around for a while, and people just loved it.
Our full BSG group.
I also became a tattoo artist on She needed the tattoo for her Starbuck costume, and here is what I drew for her.
Everything else was a blast, and I don’t really want to take the time to write about it more. Needless to say, I had a blast.
The new job is going well, and I am almost in full swing of things. I think that I am going to like it, so that is a good thing.
Here is the other thing that I recently added to my living room. I finally broke down and got a real TV. I got a 56″ HD tv with a HD-DVD player. Here is a picture.
I christened it with 300 and V for Vendetta in HD, and now have settled down to watching BSG season 1. It is like having my own personal movie theater. I love it.
Here is a quick picture of Chief and Cally which are about 97% done. All that is left is the shoulder patches and the green webbing that needs to be added to the left thigh on each suit.
