i dont know about these, I'm thinking making then in one piece or two like a knee cop with a fan.... PLEASE tell me what you think!!
BTW- Rivets are freaking fun!! *BAM BAM BAM* "you are rivited sucka!"
all ideas and comments are welcome- remember I'm super new at this, i know it sucks so don't waste our time saying that. The more i work on this the more imperfections i see- its quite maddening!!!
