Support The Charlie Palmer Project
As you may know, I have been building a H.A.R.D. Corps costume for conventions for the past few months. (I believe that) anything worth doing is worth doing right, and that when you are trying to accomplish a project such as this, you can go hard or go home! As expected, a few hundred bucks have been invested in material and a few hundred more will be required for actual fabrication, boots, equipment, and other small nuances of such projects that add-up to a WIN! It's certainly not cheap, but that is where this post comes in.
The logos for the H.A.R.D. Corps costume were custom-crafted in rubber and hand-made in Germany by Patch-Werk (http://www.patch-werk.com). Because minimum orders of a certain quality exist with such things, 25 were created (one was trashed by a sharpie while conducting a "test").
I only need a few for the actual costume, so I decided to provide one as a gift to anyone who donates funds to help me complete this H.A.R.D. Corps costume project.
NOTE: If there are any funds left over, then I will also create a Harbinger Foundation costume (yup, full military-grade specs on that too!)
Shoot me a PM to get in on this action!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only ask that you cover the cost of shipping ($5 for the U.S.; Canada, Europe, etc? I figure we can do exact shipping.) in addition to whatever you donate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 20 spots for this, and I can list you either by forum name or anonymously if you desire.

Re: Support The Charlie Palmer Project
About 1/2 the spots are spoken for! Things are looking quite good, though clearly there is still a ways to go.
I'm as interested as anyone else to see how this plays out; and also to have the chance to visibly bring part of the Valiant Universe to life.

Re: Support The Charlie Palmer Project
I can't believe this isn't full yet!
If I can rustle up some spare cash, I'll ask to be put on the list, but not right now. Let's just say I am interested. These look great!

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

I have very little desire for cosplay but I think this idea rules. Best of luck to you on this.

I always love other people dressing up. I actually asked several people at the con to take pictures with me, to show my kids. The Darth Maul at Sac Con? Genius. I look forward to you bringing the characters to life.

Been in Africa this week with no wifi connection. I'm back up and online again as of today, and will shoot off a few PMs. Sorry for the delay, Uncle Sam calls sometime.
