Cheese Vader Gundam



This past weekend we had a bit of fun. Yuichiro, Miyuki's older brother, got us involved in a combination flea market, rollerblading competition and costume contest. Yeah, it's a bit of a difficult mix to grasp. But it worked out quite nicely! That is until we were soaked in buckets of rain. I designed the poster based on Yu-chan's costume from last year.

This year there was the addition of a Wisconsin cheese hat, courtesy of our pal Nathan Fox. Not too sure how well it improved the aerodynamic performance of the suit, but it certainly adds a splash of jaunty color.

This year though, things got considerably more interesting when 2 dudes in full Gundam gear showed up.

Although this suit is more properly referred to as Zaku.
