(update): Here's the battle suit. It's a bit of a weight-loss program for me but already it fits better than some of those guys on Carillon! I am about to give up waiting for Katarra8 to make another dress medallion and pay a jeweler to make a real one or try my hand at oven-bake Sculpey. On the one hand I admire her for having an ethical position on not taking money in advance of having an item to deliver, but on the other hand I wish her stance on torture was equally as ethical. She doesn't seem to charge enough for a medallion to motivate herself to make more than one or two a year and so she stands like a cyclops guarding the mythical gates of this costume's completion, after I've already sunk thousands of cubits into it, and if you want one I guess you can join me in my new life, which consists of obsessively refreshing her Etsy store page every fifteen minutes for the rest of my life. Sleep is a distant memory now and I've only been resigned to doing this for about 4 months so far. I've tried offering her five times her asking price and apparently that didn't even warrant a response. I am beginning to suspect that she might be a Cylon.
