That could work, I’ve got some very nice red gum honey from up Bendigo way. There’s a guy who sells it by the side of the road in an industrial estate near me.

I’ve got palm sugar & while I don’t think I’ve got sriracha I do have a reasonable selection of other hot sauces Might have to do some experimenting this week

Just realised I missed the opportunity to preface this by saying it was a spicy take

Didn’t you do that last year? Careful, it might become a habit. But happy birthday regardless!

True, could even be fancy & mix it with palm sugar til I found the right balance

I’d like to have a go at making it sometime, I’ve yet to find a store bought one that’s not too sweet for me

Bang on! I assume you’ve seen Lee Hardcastle’s Thingu?

I’ve been a regular partaker of both at various points in my life but their ubiquity is their downfall

As you should, happy birthday! And good luck tomorrow, but first, cake!

Correct. I said this to a colleague the other day & she disagreed, although it may be that she thought I was criticising her choice of condiments.

Speaking as a parent, that is absolutely horrifying.

When I first saw this I read it as fundraising for some cuddly boys that needed help, but this is actually for a far greater cause.

I want to be super fucking clear about this. There is no greater betrayal of what all four of my grandparents went through in the Nazi camps than Zionists advocating for openly racist fascists. 6 million betrayed.

I suppose they’re only required to if they want to keep the certification? Still a shame it didn’t work out.

I can imagine it would’ve. I’ve got no real idea of what’s out there for that market, my experience is with sets & props rather than anything wearable. However I’ve worked with enough puppeteers & costumers to have a fairly good idea of how things need to be designed for the body.

Oh I still end up making stuff a fair amount of the time too. Often the existing product doesn’t quite match our needs/specifications & it’s generally easier for me to make it from scratch rather than modify something we’ve bought.

So glad you like them. Their first album is good, but it’s not as strong as this one while their third is awesome but much more metal than punk. unfortunately no longer together but I’m hoping to catch the vocalist Karina Utomo when her black metal band launches its new album later in the month.

Whenever someone asks me to fabricate a bracket or other type of fixing method at work my first question is always “have you checked whether this already exists as a purchasable product?” No need to reinvent the wheel after all.

I just saw the rest of the thread, looks like you’re definitely sorted one way or the other, good luck.

Gotcha, now that I’ve seen what you’re dealing with I reckon you were on the right track with the chin strap. I wonder if you could integrate something like this into the body of the headpiece?

You’re welcome. I didn’t see spinal tap until I was in my mid twenties but the young ones was on TV when I was a kid & so I was well primed when they did bad news shortly after.

Brilliant, thanks! I’ll be checking that out tomorrow

Good point, is there more of the costume you could tie it into? For example could you add some kind of stays that came off your shoulders or similar or would that be too obtrusive?

Fair enough really. Have you seen the version without music? I thought that was the pinnacle of prodigy related humour until I saw this

Could you perhaps add bands of thick wire with connecting lengths of the same? Basically what it looks like you’ve already done with foam but it may give you a more rigid armature connecting the inner & outer components. Something like this…
The same photo of the headpiece but I’ve crudely circled  the interior sections of the headrest in red to illustrate the bands I was suggesting, with red lines nominally indicating where you could span between them with more wire.

It’s been over 25 years since I’ve seen this so I can’t remember if it’s fully in Spanish (or if it’s so bad it’s good or if it’s just bad)

I’m trying to work out if I’ve got it in me to catch up with the ones I haven’t seen before watching it (from memory I’ve only seen up to 42)

I really wanted to like this film but the “deadly” spiders being huntsmen completely spoiled it for me

You’re welcome, I’ve been looking forward to it since I grabbed the first two tracks you released & it did not disappoint

I’ll bet, as a kid there was plenty of country trips where we’d come across old steam tractors or trains either in parks or sometimes just rusting away in paddocks, but we never came across anything like that.

It must’ve been an incredible sight. And if it makes you feel any better my thought in answer to the op was learning to read a map as a teenager in the early-mid 90s

This is a fantastic album. Cinematic yet danceable with an industrial/EBM edge
