Narga, a.k.a. Natasha, of Narga and Aoki Cosplay, took on an impressive build inspired by Warhammer 40K. She crafted a replica of the Eldar Howling Banshee’s look from Dawn of War III, and the result is fierce — the armor sort of has a Predator-esque design. She made her first-ever costume creation video to document the build. It took a month to create the outfit and she used “EVA foam, Bubblestar (thermoplastic analogue of Worbla), styrofoam, acrylic colors, RustOleum spray primer, kanekalon for wig, acrylic silicone for gloves.” You can watch the costume come together in the above video; be sure to stay until the end to see the finished ensemble — it’s stunning.

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.
