Building out the chest followed a similar pattern. The main shell is rigid EVA, but to allow more flex in the shoulders, those are built from softer upholstery foam.
I didn't bother to papercraft the shoulders, I took a measurement from my model and used an online calculator to help create a 1/8" sphere wedge template.
This actually represents the V1 of the chest, I ended up building a second version between its debut at MAGFest and competing at Connecticon.
Discussing the British Press, and I'm reminded of the time when I had a moderate amount of celebrity in the UK LGBT community, and the press tried to do a hit piece on me.
Now here's the thing. There's a cheat code, and I'm going to explain what it is:
They will contact you for comment.
If you say nothing, they will publish the piece and say you were offered the chance to comment.
If you tell them to fuck off, they will publish the price and say your response was foul and unprintable.
I did neither of these things. I told them that this piece wasn't journalism. It was ridiculous tittle tattle and represented everything that was wrong with a failing and dying industry more obsessed with clickbait than proper reporting. I asked them if they didn't have proper news to report, and said that they should be ashamed of themselves.
They're basically screwed at that point. "We contacted Ms Brown for comment and she said that this was ridiculous tittle tattle and that the reporter should be ashamed of herself."
They're not gonna say that.
I'm struck by something one of my history teachers once said about medieval castles. They weren't meant to be impregnable. They were meant to be annoying enough that an invading army would decide to investigate other priorities instead.
The piece never ran.
If you're a trans person in the crosshairs of the British press, make yourself an annoying target. They're on a deadline, and if you make them conclude that life is too short, they will leave you the fuck alone.

Bad brain, MH (-), acne
Honestly feeling pretty ugly today and hating it. Had a bad night of sleep and wasn't able to get up in time to properly clean my face and do my hair and I feel gross and bad and my brain is telling me that I don't deserve to look nice, which isn't helped by an outbreak of acne on my face.
No matter how much I clean myself I get acne all over my body and I hate it. ;_;
