I swear I'm so excited to do this Tali cosplay. It's really making me feel euphoric, gender and identity wise! <3

I've found somewhere that prints fabrics and there's some Tali patterns but I just need to work out what type of fabric I want to use for a form fitting costume. Lycra/spandex is the obvious choice but there's some other fabric types that pique my interest! Will have to order some swatches. :3

Decided to part my hair over one side of my head and I think I look kinda cute????

cw: eye contact

Oh just realised I could save time the whole print job if I hollow out the buck and fill it with something like plaster? Would make it heavier but it would save on around 40 hours of the printing and around 1kg of filament!

For a long time I've wanted to do a Tali cosplay but I never thought that I could with my body shape, but I've seen a Tali cosplayer recently who has a similar body shape to me and it opened my eyes that I could do this. I'm really excited to get started on it! ^^

Need to clean/reorganise the workshop (tonight/tomorrow's job) so I can start painting what I'm already working on, and with the workshop reorganised I can set up the 3D printer again and get to printing the Tali helmet while doing other projects!

The Tali helmet is gonna take around 135 hours (not in one sitting) to fully print. I could reduce the printing time by editing the buck for the visor and removing a lot of its internal shape, but that's something to think about later.

Gonna do it. Gonna do a Tali cosplay! 💜

I just realised that there's nothing stopping me from cosplaying as Tali, from Mass Effect, other than my brain being dumb. X)

I'm having a lot of run making this! Really need to get my workshop sorted out so I can get my 3D printer set up again and start making more things! I think a #protogen is gonna be on the cards! :D

AHHH did most of the sanding and it feels SMOOTH! Supergluing both halves together and once that's cured it's fibreglass resin time again and Then the final filling and sanding!!!

Fist time using wood filler and actually found it easier using my fingers to spread it all on.

Nice evening last night, seeing Sooz Kempner's standup show in Leeds with @Bowsette! :)

Just waking up and then back to the garage to work more on the cosplay project :3

Honestly I can't explain how excited I am to be working on this, and also glad that I've been able to get my brain in gear to work on it!

Should be able to work on filling and sanding tomorrow!!
