Here are some pictures of its progress:
The big boys and their tools getting the shield ready then welding the handles on.
Josh with the rough version shield.
The backside of the shield and you can read what this started as. Hector bought it at the swapmeet for $5.
The kids are dressed for their first costume party/Nintendo meetup in Orange County. :)
And another photo of the kids. :) They really enjoyed their costumes this year and they still have another chance to wear them and later for all those cons we are now interested in.
The meetup was in Fullerton near where I grew up about a few blocks away so it was kind of fun.
We got about 30+ tags from gamers so the kids were really happy with that and they're interested in going to more meetups.
Here Josh is participating in the kids costume contest. Tyler was in the adults division and placed in the top 6 so he was happy about that. :)
This guy had a nice robe and crown....and about 1/2 of the adults dressed up. The area we were in in nestled in a shopping center with a Target across the parking lot. We are in another area with some smaller stores and restaurants like Gamestop and Yogurtland. Lots of seating for hanging out.
Of course, I didn't get a photo of Kat and me dresssed up too but that's okay. We stayed in our costumes later for dinner while the kids changed into regular clothes. We got a few stares at Lomelli's and a big thumbs up too.
