I've been happy with it, and so I upgraded it to use a PSC serial·as well.. and I"m going to be going to a convention to wear it in june (with roughly 2400 people) and would like to take some Parallax flyers and info along to give away, since I Like your hardware a lot, is there anything such available. (free advertizing with people wanting to start animatronics)
please contact me if you want. if I had the money I'd take some PSC and basic stamps to sell.. but I don't

    If it's in June, and with that many visitors, and judging by the look of the costume, it can only be

    Yes, that would be the place [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    It was fun last year, and I did make a nice short video that was posted under the other post. but here it is again.

    1.3 meg in size.

    We had roughly 2400 people. and 150 costume wearing nuts, which I am proud to be one of. [noparse]:)[/noparse] we even had a panel there that someone held, with hands on take home stuff. He had enough stuff along to allow people to make some ears that moved! had like enough for 50 sets. that was a fun panel.

    it's a nice 5 hour drive for me this year in stead of 2 hours..

    Keep talking [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    ·I really enjoy parallax products.

    Nicely done! I am curious, what ren faire did you debut the dragon costume in? I'm a faire enthusiest myself, home faire is the Connecticut Ren Faire in Hebron, CT. (USA)

    No animatronics in my costume. just pure metal. (chain maille) freaked.gif

    He wasn't on a renfaire, but on http://www.anthrocon.org/ a convention on the theme of Anthomorphic animals/characters. (In short: animals behaving as people. Donald and Mickey are classical examples. )
