Just got back home from Heroes Con. I'm far too exhausted for a proper update, so I'll just assure you that in the next few days you'll be seeing pictures of the finished axe bass (as well as pictures of it in action with the full costume), and I'll also be posting pictures of some toy sculpts and maquettes that I've had finished for a while.
So, that'll be happening soon. But not now. Now I'm going to bed.

Dirty Trash Can Full of Poop, Bro.
So... it looks like, because of working 16 straight days and not currently having a vehicle with which to drive myself to Home Depot anytime I want, I'm just barely not going to be able to complete my Portal pieces with the solidity and finesse that I'd like in time for HeroesCon.
Bummer.
That being said, I am going to finish them soon (mostly so that I can finally clean my house), and I'll continue to post my progress here.
Also, from now 'til Thursday I'll be trying to complete my Adventure Time axe bass in time to dress as Marceline instead, so that's something to look forward to. More on that very soon.
Until then, make good decisions, kids.

Here's the Plan, Stan (or whatever you're calling yourself these days...)
So... I'm heading to HeroesCon on June 21st, and the current plan is to dress up as Chell from Portal 2. Since it's just not in my nature to NOT aim way too high and attempt to overdo things within very snug time constraints, I'm trying to get some long fall boots and a cheap, passable portal gun built before then. Here's a list of what I have thus far:
(1) Nothing.
Okay, that's a lie. I'm starting with:
(1) A few supplies, like thrift store boots, papercraft shells for the gun, and about 1/10 the amount of fiberglassing materials I need
(2) An Aperture tank top, grey bike shorts, and an orange jumpsuit
... meaning that I have 12 days to get stuff done. Also notable is that I work about 60 hours a week at two jobs and don't have any days off except Sunday. Oh, and now that I mention it, I actually don't have this Sunday off. Alrighty, then.
Will I get my props built? Will they look good, or like something ejected from a recently-deceased tauntaun? Will I just give up in about two minutes and go take a much-needed nap in my Batman-themed unmentionables?
Find out next time, when I try to fiberglass the crap out of some pleather boots!
