You use such vibrant colors man; really pleasing to the eye. I'm still in love with the blue armor you made.

So, many of you haven't seen much of my work beyond the armor I make. I am also one of 3 owners of the game company Soda Pop Miniatures. Our goal is to introduce a little anime into the board and miniature gaming industry. We brought you the board game Super Dungeon Explore earlier this year, and now, I am excited to introduce Tentacle Bento. Please, take a moment to check out the kickstarter page.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1189988320/tentacle-bento-by-soda-pop-miniatures

Tentacle Bento is a party card game for 3 or more people playing as an alien bent on world domination. In true anime fashion, the only way to bring on the coming cataclysm is to snatch coeds from an all girl university and squeeze them for their essence. It plays like a dirty version of Uno, and the game is designed to be fun for mixed company.

We are trying to publish this one ourselves, and YOU can help us do that. Kickstarter is a community driven funding program. Basically, you pre-order the product, maybe add a little extra for some special swag, and if we meet our goal by the deadline, then you get charged. If not, then no worries.

Please take a look and pick up a copy. You won't be disappointed.

If we donate the 500$ mark, can we have anyone drawn in or do they have to be a significant other?

I don't believe we will be requiring proof of co-residency or anything. You're welcome to choose whomever you'd like.

And we've got expansions coming this summer for Super Dungeon as well. Preassembled this time, even.

Ya, I still can't quite believe it. We started the company 2 years ago as a way to keep gaming, since we'd all moved to different parts of the country. This year, its actually going to start supporting us. (hopefully. go buy the game.)

For that war skirt, if you don't mind me asking, is the plating on the skirt armor grade or the entire skirt?

Regardless, still looks amazing.

Im not burke, but ill answer these the best i can since he isnt on much.

Nomad, to answer your question, the bottom parts of the skirt are not armor grade, it just looked cool to have more leg coverage. The plates are armor grade, and are where the customer asked for them.

eff lacing that samurai armor. that is all.

Burke, how are you getting your pauldrons to maintain their shape around the shoulders? And how are you attaching them to the torso? PM me if you'd like, so your secrets aren't revealed. :)

The pauldrons are partially sewn together, then water hardened. I attach them with a couple of ties at the top of the shoulder to a harness or torso shoulder strap.
