hehe, no it wasn't... we couldn't find anywhere in ballarat that did a particular thing... so we had to go to his old school, it was totally crazy, but so worth it.
I better start mine today too....

me and dunks should be receiving a massive order of stuff from cosworx some time next week (should be monday) so we will let you know how fast the postage is and quality etc... They only offer one postage method to aus, and its a fast one (like 5 or 6 working days) but that means its expensive, which is why we ordered pretty much everything for the rest of the year... haha. edit: Todays progress: ODST front shin molded (it used SOOO much silicon, about $100 worth.... but i should be able to sell a few) Hige's collar is done, looks pretty awesome, ill post some pics later. And currently doing some work on Vincent. Edit: here is said collar:  |

Yeah its a stencil, but i used 1mm styrene for it, i find paper and cardboard to flimsy, plus styrene is way more durable, since i figure i could sell a few of these come next year.

Kittah- You have to make sure you get the correct postage type when ordering from overseas, especially the US, since there are a few different postage company's and methods. Myself, as well as a friend have both fallen for the trap of getting the cheapest, which can take up to 3 months. Best go for Air mail or better from the US. Ed- Thanks  Rave- Because i have no idea what acetate is, plus i had some scrap styrene sitting on my desk.... ;D |
