Re: Our Passion...The Hobby, and the BOTB's Influence...
Aw, David, that was a really nice post. And though I haven't put together a costume in a good while now, your words are inspiring to me in other ways.
It's nice to see someone praising the people who are really willing to put in some work (and not just money & time waiting for bought pieces to arrive, not that there's anything wrong with that) to achieve what they want. There's a sense of satisfaction when you put something together yourself, whether it's a costume, your kid's playset, or a new recipe.
We're lucky that this hobby encourages that sense of satisfaction, especially since there's an emphasis on showing it off & taking photos... Really adds to the pride factor IMO. I know we're supposed to be modest, but a bit of pride in oneself can be a good thing now & then. It's also fun seeing our friends succeed at something they've been putting their best into, sometimes I'm really floored by how nicely some costumes turn out.
Thanks for taking the time to post that, I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed reading it.

I agree comepletely.
BOTB is a great driving force of good.
It gives people the faith in themselves to put time and effort into something, making it much more than just a costume, but making it truely THEIR Costume.

Re: Our Passion...The Hobby, and the BOTB's Influence...
Although i do appreciate the talent & enthusiasm on the board i somehow feel lacking in both skill and time to attempt a sculpt or something of that nature.
However, due to brother Jeremey's post i feel the need to try my hand at an ashtray with Bat-ears? Obviously this has a multitude of uses?
Do you have reference pictures to help me out Mate?
Tickled my funny bone that one did!?
:cheers Mako.
