Halloween 2006: Captain America Part 5
Ok this isn’t really part 5. Ed sent me a picture from the party, though, that I happen to like a lot. I am genuinely happy and don’t look too much like a fool. This was immediately after I won the table radio in the raffle. I am 2 for 2 for the raffles so…

Fan of a fan
As I said a few posts ago, I posted a video for Powet on the 4 Horsemen’s FANtastic Exclusive figures from their 7th Kingdom property. When they saw it, they said it was awesome and that they were going to send me the figure I was missing and a free T-shirt. Well the package was…

Halloween 2006: Captain America Part 3
You can see Part 1 here and Part 2 here. In Part 2, I riveted a handle and arm strap on to the sled, so I could hold it with my left arm. I still needed to address the whole sewing obstacle and paint the sled.

Halloween 2006: Captain America Part 2
When last we left our patriotic costume, we had just finished drawing all the details onto the front of the shield and then went to bed. Next on the list of things to do was the handles.

Halloween 2006: Captain America Part 1
For some reason, about a month and a half ago I decided that I absolutely had to be Captain America for Halloween. For many weeks, I plotted and looked at pictures of the icon to see how I could make the costume work without it looking campy.
