Epic Costume -- Day 1

So... today consisted of... ripping the box apart.

But before that, I had some fun. ^^


This is my box (the photos look like they were taken with nightvision or something... crappy camera....) 1 2

The box JUST fits (height-wise, not length wise, length is plenty small enough) in cars, and it's not gonna get any wider when i turn it into costume, so I should be good. I'll probably check again on Monday to be safe.

So, I was gonna take it apart, when I realize... Hey! I can probably fit in the box!
And, what do you know? I CAN!!!
I even took a very bad video, in which the lighting is horrible and my voice is in somewhat low-register (I can go lower, but yeah)!


But sadly... all things must come to an end, and the box was dissected into its four sides.

The length is great... from the measurements I've made, the sides of the cake should be approximately half the height of Kohran. The sides of the box, plus one of the flaps (there's one on either end, i haven't taken them off, and I probably won't) between 80 and 90cm, and I'm around 157cm. So... it's a little over half, and thus should work quite well. ^_^

Construction will begin... in a day or two. ^_^
