No news from NAFA. This sucks.... AVA at PASIR PANJANG wants me for 6 months temporary at daily rate!?

*sends more resumes*

At this rate, i'll finish Keiji before landing a job! Speaking of which... i'm done with most of the accessory bases. Even mom was asking why i'm taking such a long time with this costume. Nobody knows the amount of small parts there are to this costume! They're scattered all over his body!!! I'll list them all out.

- Hair accessories (red sticks and feathers)
- Arm warmers (including the 'hand guard')
- Leg warmers
- Knee Guards
- Belt (that's 3 parts in fact, b/w sash, red rope, red tassels)
- leg guards that are there just for show and will probably not be seen

I have never encountered a costume with *counts* 6 individual parts that needs to be DIY-ed. I rather take on alot of armor...

I decided to go ahead making the scabbard. Figured that it will help TREMENDOUSLY with posing and i would have enough time. The 2 front pieces are prepared, need to patch up the sides and bottom, build up details and it's done.

Sword? 1 last side needs a coat of mod podge before starting work on the fixture mechanisms.

His hair problem has been solved! The hair comb idea Ziru suggested worked! I improved it with a stable structure to nest it but it worked! I can plant the extension in and remove it freely. Most importantly, it stays upright. This costume may work out very nicely at AFA...
