21st October 2012: From conception to reality Last journal entry on this. It's been a tough old build but i'm nearing completion. I've enjoyed making this a lot, but i'm ready for it to be done!

29th September 2012: It never ends I've done so much on this but it still feels like there are 1000 jobs to be done. The pic is of one of the armour pieces, but i've done nearly all the brasswork. The fabric is done too, and the wings should be completed by Monday (hopefully!). There isn't a lot to 'start', just plenty to finish!

27th August 2012: All this work and nothing to see It's amazing how much time i've already put into this without anything really coming together. I've got the scarf sewn, the main jacket sewn (minus sleeves) and various parts of the armour prepped for painting, namely the pauldrons and the belts (including some of the 'dangly bits). The pauldron design is ready to be glued too. So now all I need to do is the, er, shawl, boots, jewelry casting, gloves, patches, arrows, wig, collar, cuffs, wings and neck structure. And today marks three months left to do it all in. Oh boy.....
