Once you start cosplaying, it’s hard to stop and Gary Sterley has given the cosplay bug to his wife Angela by helping her make the impressive Destiny Hunter costume pictured above. The armor features the Iron Banner design. It features a tree pattern not unlike the White Tree of Gondor from Lord of the Rings. Gary and Angela built the costume from the ground up using foam, fabric, fabric paint, Sintra, and more — we previously highlighted how Gary used a 3D printed stamp to embellish the armor. They’ve been working on the costume on and off since May and really ramped up production before Dragon Con.
The work in progress photos below show off a couple stages of the armor and the knuckle armor. See more photos on Facebook.
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
