Preparing for the Comic Con Storm
I know that it’s been a while since my last post, but if you’ve been following me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you’ll know that I’m hard at work on my Lady Vader cosplay! I pretty much spent my entire July 4th weekend using Bondo, then sanding, Bondo, sanding, rinse, repeat (see pics after the jump). I think I got a pretty good workout (and tan) sanding for hours in 95 degree weather and I hate to say it, but I can’t wait until San Diego Comic Con is over so that I can relax again! Haha.
Finally ready to prime and paint!
On top of that, I have barely thought about the panel scheduling that was just released this weekend! What do you guys think about Friday’s Hall H line up? It’s looking like Friday will definitely be the craziest Hall H day. And if you’ve never been to SDCC before, I highly recommend you read some of my previous tips or even Crazy 4 Comic Con’s site, which is a blog filled with excellent tips on going to comic con (I especially liked the “How to Date at Comic Con” post!) Anyhow, good luck and hope to see you there!

Ah, I can’t wait to see it at the con! I saw you last year in your Han Solo cosplay. Very nicely done. :)

What was the chest armor made of? I couldn’t make out what you said in the video.. Worgla? hehe.. Seems like interesting material to work with

It’s made of Worbla! :) Yeah, it’s definitely a cool material – it’s a thermoplastic similar to Wonderflex, but I’ve found it to be more more moldable.

You just might replace Disco Fett as my favorite SW-related cosplay. Friday is the only day I’ll be going to Hall H. So much of my SDCC time every year is wasted on lines… I intend on no more than 6-8hours total over the 5 days waiting in line. (Haha, yeah right!) Luckily, I’m staying right across the street from Hall H, so I can easily check out how crazy the lines are overnight.

Yup, me too. I think Friday Hall H will be nuts, but hopefully worth the wait. I’ve come to realize I may be spending about 2 days in line since x-files reunion is a must for me!
