I wanted to separate these into two posts so here's #2! #1 here. What I also received yesterday was my order from @rosalind-hawkins of all 3D printed Millennium Items + Puzzle box as well as a pair of 3D printed Khopesh!

Unlike actual licensed Millennium Rods, this 3D one actually has the hidden blade! I'm however going to have to be very gentle with the blade when prepping it as the tip is very fine and fragile (might end up cutting it off a bit and reinforcing it to make sure it doesn't break during handling.) I'm going to be focusing on sanding these over the next couple of months as well as sanding the mask that will be going with my Scion of Wepwawet AU TKB. (I started that over the weekend while it was gloomy weather)

So it was a rather gloomy yet comfortable evening to tackle some sanding of the 3D printed Millennium Items I got from @rosalind-hawkins

I predominately worked on some of the Millennium Rod which was surprisingly easy to work with compared to previous work on the Khopesh hilt. (I attempted to tackle the Ring but.. uuh.. we're gonna hold off on that) When it comes to sanding 3D projects you absolutely DO NOT need to sand the entire surface unless you're a masochist. Primer will fill in the subtle printed lines but what you need to work on is the parts that would undoubtedly take MULTIPLE fillings of primer to disappear. For example the back of the Millennium Rod's Spherical upper attachment. You can see the remnants of the center here that I've sanded down.

As well as miniscule raised surfaces that do not belong on the print itself as you can see this line I've smoothed out.

Once sanded properly these malformations MAY look like you'd be able to feel them but rest assured they are very smooth and will disappear into the projects initial primer coats.

For lines like these though? A few coats of previously mentioned primer will fill these in nicely and all you have to do is maybe follow up with a tiny bit of soft sanding to blend the surface nicely.

My primary focus for the rod though was smoothing out the 'sharp' contours of the wings. These were a lil more pronounced initially but I wanted a a lil smoother transition along the surface area.

And as for the actual sharp edges? Smoothed those out as well.

The unfortunate casualty though is the Rod's dagger tip did break off a lil more during its first sanding but its not bad at all and will be hardly noticeable. Probably safer this way as well. (Sorry Yamima, you get a slight handicap.)

Bracelets are good! The rings are all silicone and will have to do for now until I find stuff that is more close to his or at least something that is not so fancy to be seen as modern. If anyone see's plain rings close to his; lemme know where and if possible a link to the website! Again if there is a want for your very own (1) (or set of 3 like the man himself ) TKB Bracelet's feel free to DM me and we can work something out! :> Please like + follow @ravij for more updates on this cosplay Keep reading more to take a look inside my brain for my TKB cosplay and these bracelets:

A post by @ravij It's been a bit since I've made any progress on this cosplay but now that Gremlin is a bit older and more settled in I decided to start tackling things. ◉‿◉ While the rest of Amurica was celebrating I was busy toiling away on TKB's neck chain that iirc was given to him by fans through fanart. I think he had one in the Manga? But I do not remember one in the Anime. Ya'll remember this post from end of May in which I tested sequences. Well I decided to go with the red discs. I started with setting up and measuring about 45 in (1.14 meters) length of cord. The idea is for a 37-38 in (0.93-.096 meters) chain but I'd need the extra length to tie it off. I clipped it off with a cloth clip so beads wouldn't go everywhere because I need both ends not knotted in order to tie it off.

The rest below the cut! 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

Best Home Upgrade - Single Door Hooks

I can simply look to my left and its there. Motivation to work out. Motivation to tackle projects for the full fit. October deadline is approaching. ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) This month the wig is being worked on by Nipah, maybe I'll have it by July then I'll do a contact/make up test. I recently bought a large glass marble backsplash plate because clear glass/acrylic/fiberglass is fucking expensive and I need an always clean, cold, smooth surface for making scars. I can't imagine wtf the guy who helped me out was thinking seeing me walk around the hardware store with this single 12 x 24 Smooth Marble backsplash under one arm and a 7.5 inch diameter - 6 inch deep PVC tube. But there I was walking out with them back to my apartment after not seeing anything else catch my eye LMAO

P.S. The PVC tube is going to be used for silicon mold pours for resin based pieces on another project.

So... I have solved my "top" problem for TKB. Not gonna reveal the fix yet, only a few of you know. :> But honestly I've been such a good vibe after solving it that I started working on the Millennium Items in earnest.

We got the Rod, the Ring, the Eye, the Necklace, one half of the key, and one piece of the scale in progress and I really haven't done much sanding. More below the cut!

Haha so as promised here's that Cosplay update! :D;;;

So I was running into a bit of a problem with our bare-chested, #1 Pharaoh hater and that is just it. His bare chest. I won't be getting top surgery until next year and I didn't want to wear a shirt or close up his tunic nor do I want to try binding tape. Then it hit me. I get a pretty flat chest with my daily binders and HOPEFULLY by the time October rolls around my stomach will be flatter and I have half tops that I use for work outs. So; without further ado... the set up!

I know it's hard to see but on the bottom left of my half binder top is some dirty Halloween costume mummy wraps. This is not the binder I'm going to use as this is my work out binder and they are required to be a bit bigger than your casual binders. (Pro Tip as a Transmasc: It is a must for FTM to have a binder that is a size or two bigger than your casual binders when working out. Do NOT wear your everydays to work out because they will suffocate you.) We also have some white elastic as I will have this be a removable piece and not a permanent addition to a binder. I decided to do a mock up and will likely have to double up the layers so you can't see through it.
