For the record, yes I'm still around. As previously mentioned I tend to lose interest in things rather quickly so this blog was kind of abandoned.
I ran out of time for the scale mail before the convention so the costume was incomplete. I wore it anyway and I still got a lot of very nice comments on it which was definitely a boost.
I sort of dropped it after the convention but I've recently picked it back up and I'm working again. I have new ideas for it which I am once again very excited about. The scale mail is working rather well, but seeing as it's my first time working with it I'm having a little bit of trouble working out the sleeves. I have found a few websites that seem to have guides so hopefully this is just a minor speed bump.
I don't have any plans to attend any conventions yet this year but I still want to finish this thing. One of my friends is trying to convince me to make the investment in ComicCon for next year, but we'll see.
Cheers!
