So first off, two of my friends are the most awesome people in the world. Conveniently they date each other so I can see both at the same time. One, my best friend, has a theater degree and designs sets and helps with staging and stuff. Her boyfriend is a mechanic and skilled enough technically to be re-modelling their house by his lonesome. They have a shop in their garage that dreams are made of. My cosplay dreams, anyway.
I've enlisted the guy's aid in making the guitar more con-friendly--lighter, for the most part. He knows someone with a rotational resin-caster which just sounds sexy. My original intention was just to cast the body, but he's not sure the caster is big enough. If not, he'll help me with the process of making a silicon mold and the using fiberglass or plaster to make the body. Either way sounds pretty much awesomepants, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out~ (and what, no doubt, screws up.)
My goal now is to work on the costume itself as much as possible so as to be ready to spend time/money/effort when the call to arms comes for the guitar. Whee!
