Nrin Vakil

Long time, no post!

I've slowed way down in costuming this year, but I did debut something Rebellion at ConNooga earlier this year. My wife (kerys) has had her unofficial Ibtisam for a while and I finally got the mask for her books/comics partner Nrin Vakil. A Mon Calimari and a Quarren? Heck yeah! Anyway, you know how you wear a costume for the first time and discover the parts that need fixing for the next time? Yeah... I was completely blind wearing this. Like totally blind. (Can't get a picture to show, but here's a link to one)

This is what happens when you don't cut some air holes to prevent fogging...

Anyway, that and some other adjustments (like making the chest box hang lower since I didn't take into account my normal neck vs the mask's neck size), I'm hoping to wear him more often.

I also got a new 2018 "Wild Orange" Kia Soul that totally looks like it's part of the Rebellion. I have a nice group of vinyl x-wings that I'm going to put on the hood and I need to get a new RL bumper sticker.

Anyway, thought I'd hop on and re-introduce myself. I'm Jeff... I probably should have led with that...[/url]
