little update for the masses.

Very cool

GTsetGO · 08-24-2015, 08:15 PM

so. got it done friday night (except for some adjustments) and went to the star wars night at the tides game saturday. stayed in costume for the entire first game and then 3 inning of the second game. 50 lbs of armor after about 4 hours starts to get a little heavy.

AdamJoshua · 08-24-2015, 08:23 PM

Very cool dude, nice job on the armor and hanging out in it that long.
