Today, on As the Bat Turns. Or flies. Whatever.

As amended to today's earlier post, I ordered a Batman cowl. It's latex, comes all the way to the shoulders and looks pretty decent in the pics. However, it's made by Rubies and that name always makes me cringe just a little bit. However, however, it's gotten really great reviews by people who claim to be huge Batman fans and it is part of their deluxe/collector's line which tends to look a little better. It's not exactly right, but it'll work well enough and no one is going to notice the discrepancies except me. It blew more than half of my remaining budget, but I feel it's worth it. Seeing how many lines I crossed off my to-do list today just from making this purchase... yeah, it's worth it. One of those time/money/accurate things.

Other than that, I got the rest of my armor pieces patterned out. The gauntlets are my favorite part. :) I'm almost done patterning the belt pieces. I have high hopes for tomorrow. I'm turning off the wireless on my laptop and the ringers on the phones as soon as I get back from dropping Jonah off at school. If anyone wants to reach me, it'll have to wait until after 3pm.

Since I'm scraping my helmet, I'm not going to bother posting pics of it. I might pick it back up at a later date just as an experiment with the materials. But for now, it'll get pushed aside as I plow forward.
