"you have the only 'zote armour that doesn't look like 'zote armour." describes it pretty damn well!

Are you ever going to reveal what brand glue worked so well?

Sure. I've been replying to anyone who asked on CI

The brand is Loxley, I get mine from London graphics but this is also available here

I used about three or four others and they tended to crack after they had dried for a few days.

I tend to use a minimum of 6 layers, although parts of Priss had 12 layers on it.

I've had a few ideas about this stuff since the weekend. I'm going to grab a bottle of it at some point to test, but I think it might be possible to thin it with IPA and airbrush the stuff. Infact, I'm pretty sure it's possible since you can already get water soluble PV suspended in IPA as a mould release, so I don't see why there would be any bad reactions.

If it *IS* possible, it would mean a totally flawless finish. Sad thing is I have absolutely no use for it for at least 3-4 projects xD

Then clearly the thing to do is send me your airbrush and compressor :P

In all seriousness, my next project is unlikely to be heavily armour based anyway, but have some thoughts that I wish to experiment with.

As I've said before; grats on the well earned placing =)

I'm assuming Priss is going to be going into storage for a long while now?

It may continue to upgrade little bits and pieces over the next few months, but I guess it will be going in to storage for a while.

I may bring it out at minami or Ame possibly, I guess it depends if/when others have their suits finished really.

Congrats on your placing. I thought that was a great result.

I loved the finish on Priss and if I do look into 'zote armour I'll defo look at your method. (got to say love my Cintra waaaayyyy too much XD).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: that was one fine costume Mr Phil.

Oh and: "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" ... I found that song choice most amusing :-p

Thanks :)

As for the song, I don't know if Mike (Mangachild) was being ironic or not but it did become the best option
