2.5 weeks to go to make it for comicon

Eek - I'm planning on entering the local comicon costume contest with Maghda (it's the weekend before Blizzcon).  The main reason for this is that there's a best in show prize of $500... which if I can win would partially offset the cost of making this costume -_-  I'm not sure if I even have a chance of this, but I probably have more of a chance here than at Blizzcon, even though I'm making it because of Blizzcon =)

Anyways, here are some update pics:

Head pretty much done.  Just needs grey accents along the base and gold tip pieces on the horns.

This is what the inside of the horns looks like:

It's like this in efforts to stay lightweight.... and I'm not entirely happy with the lumpiness of the final, but I'm not sure if I have time to figure out a solution.  I may or may not come back to that.

Starting painting.  Here are the arm band pieces:

Also started trying to figure out the process to make the wings flap.  Had a friend over to look at our arduino board and give us programming help.  Here's a cute little motor:

Well, I have a fallback prop...

So, if Maghda fails..... I have TURTLE SHELLS:

I'm just kidding... I won't let Maghda fail!

Here's what they look like with the belt:

The shell pieces won't be "hard attached".... I originally was going to do that, but they're just too confining that way.  They'll be suspended under the belt so they can move out and in as I move.

Oh ya, and here's a pic of more of the "belt":
